Miranda Lambert hails from Lindale, Texas, which we all know is in Cowboy country when it comes to the NFL. Even if she were to go south a bit, we would expect Lambert to be pulling for the Houston Texans. But now, strangely, the ‘Over You’ singer is actually a shareholder of Wisconsin’s Green Bay Packers. We wonder if this will get the southern gal on her feet rooting for a team from the north.
January 25, 2012 Green Bay Packers tight end and Diboll Lumberjacks graduate Jermichael Finley will be back in his hometown of Diboll this afternoon to visit with and sign autographs for his local fans.
Super Bowl XLV set a record. An estimated 111 million people watched the Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. That tops the 106.5 million who watched the last years game between New Orleans and Indianapolis. More after the jump.
The Super Bowl hasn’t always been so super. In fact, throughout the ‘80s and into the first half of the ‘90s many of the games were blowouts the likes of which are rarely seen during the regular season.
We’ve had better luck with Super Bowls lately, and this year’s match-up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers is about as even as can be.
So maybe Sunday’s game will end up being a classic. But for now we can count down the five best Super Bowls ever played.
