| The funny thing is DK.....most Americans dont even know who to root for. You would almost forget there is a superbowl in two days.
I am not sure of all the different reasons to root for these teams but I will break some of the nostalgia for you and you can decide from there
Reasons to root for Seattle
-Seattle has never been to the Superbowl.
-Seattle has Shaun Alexander. MVP Running back.
-Seattle's head coach Mike Holgrem would be the first NFL coach to win a superbowl with 2 different teams with a win.
-Seattle is the underdog and everybody likes an underdog.
Reasons to root for Pittsburgh.
-Ummm, its closer to the UK?
-Running back Jerome Bettis hasnt won a superbowl, is playing in his hometown and will most likely retire after Sundays game.
-Bill Cowher (head coach) has been with his team longer than any other head coach in the league.
-Quarterback and relative rookie Ben Rothlisberger was passed on by 10 other teams before being taken 11th in last years draft and has something to prove. Also has only lost 3 times as a NFL starter.
-Your favorite colors are black and yellow.
_________________________________________
Generally speaking NFL fans root for their conference. For example. I am a Patriots fan and the Steelers are in the AFC so most Pats fans would theoretically root for Pittsburgh.
But the Seahawks QB is from the Boston area and went to college here plus people around my area freaking hate Pittsburgh so I am rooting for Seattle.
