Super Bowl Pick
We’ve finally reached the Super Bowl and we’re sitting comfortably in first place of the The 2010 Cheddar Bay Invitational at Cleveland Frowns.
We’re 7-3 so far in the playoffs, but a slip up this weekend could drop us from the top spot.
As much as it hurts, we’re going with Pittsburgh +3.
We struggled with this pick for a while, but as soon as the line went to three points we knew what we had to do.
This way, when Green Bay wins on a last-second field goal, but doesn’t cover, we get the satisfaction of the Steelers losing and bringing home the cheddar.

Looks like Dan Gilbert and Quicken Loans may be in a spot of trouble.
According to the article on The Center for Public Integrity, “Lawsuits from borrowers and ex-employees claim Quicken’s day-to-day tactics are at odds with its squeaky clean image. They accuse the company of using high-pressure salesmanship to target elderly and vulnerable homeowners, as well as misleading borrowers about their loans, and falsifying property appraisals and other information to push through bad deals.”
A trial starts Tuesday in Detroit. (h/t to Deadspin)

No surprise here, as safety officials in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are advising female partygoers not to leave their friends behind with someone they barely know.
Officials said that the campaign — backed by the Safe City Commission, the Women’s Center, the RecoveryResource Council and local law enforcement — has been in the works for a while but that it made sense to launch it in conjunction with the Super Bowl.
We’re sure the fact that the Steelers are in town also played a role in the decision to launch the campaign. (h/t again to Deadspin).

While looking for something, we came across this NFL Game of the Week video of the Browns beating the Steelers 21-16 in 1973.
Enjoy.
