Question of the Week: Without a New York team playing in this year's Super Bowl, will you still be watching? Why or why not?
“Well, I really
wanted
New York to be
there, but I’m
kind of hoping
the Steelers will
win, because I
don’t really like
the other team.
I wanted the Giants
to be in the Super Bowl so
bad, but yeah, I’ll watch it to
see who wins. Maybe the Jets
will make it next year.”
— Heather Bates, student,
Unatego
“Yeah, we’re
still going to
watch it. I’d
rather see the
Giants, I’m still
excited about
the Super Bowl,
though.”
— Mike Kenny,
truck driver, Sidney
“I’ll probably
watch it still.
I’ve been watching
for years. I’m
going with the
Cardinals this
year. I don’t like
the Steelers;
just never have.
I hope the Cardinals
win, because they’ve never
won before. I’m a Cowboys fan,
though.”
— Tom Burdick, deliverer,
Morris
“Yes, because
it’s the
Super Bowl! I’ll
be rooting for
the Cardinals
because I hate
the Steelers. I
like the Raiders,
but they kind of
stunk.”
— Kevin Mosher, student,
Unatego
“Yes, because
my uncle
is a Steelers fan.
So probably yes,
if I get back from
the city in time.
My daughter is
a die-hard Giants
fan, though.
She’s very upset
that they didn’t make it in.”
— Kellee Bosket, accountant,

``If I had a choice, probably
Pittsburgh. The
last New York
team I liked was
the Giants, but
that was a while
back before they
fumbled on the
one yard line.”
— George
Mosher, maintenance,
Unatego
