On the bright side, it'll be a lot easier to get a seat at the bar.

A year after Pittsburgh fans celebrated a fifth National Football League championship with jubilant screams and thumbs thrust skyward, much of the city is greeting Super Bowl XLI with a shrug and a yawn.

Trevor Melville said the Super Bowl party he's hosting this year will be geared more toward his guests than the game.

"I didn't think anybody was doing anything," said Melville, 36, of Bridgeville. He invited about 15 college friends to his Sunday soiree

Man last year at this time we were flyin high, talking about every angle of this game, the Bus retiring, Cowher retiring, one for the thumb, memories to be had, you name it. Now it's just..

I actually think it's a great match up. On the other hand if the Patriots had gotten there, it would have been the first Super Bowl that I would have missed volintarily. I couldn't handle another 3 point Patriot win.

You mean someone is still playing football???

On paper it is a great matchup and it should be a good game to watch; but the intensity and excitement just isn't there for me.

I agree, big deal! We are going to a big, good SuperBowl party, at a freind, probably 60 people. I`mjust hoping to win some money on some squares

I was going to have a SB party but it seems everyone isn't really interested and just wants to stay in their own homes and watch the game and some of my buddies are going to Hooters because they are giving away Plasma screen TV's at each one LOL!. Last year I was at the Steeler bar I always go to and it was the best time ever!! I laughed and cried so much and Thanked God in every other sentence! I was pretty hammered but man it was fun!! Doesn't seem much fun this year, i really don't care for either team but would like to see Tony Dungy win because Tampa Bay (which I can't stand) did Tony so wrong and then Jon Gruden won the SB that year with Tony's team. I feel bad for Peyton becuase the media is so cruel! I have faith in Tomlin so i think we'll have a great year and I hope a SB year!!!
