Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview : We asked SportsDome co-anchors Alex Reiser and Mark Shepard the tough questions about Super Bowl XLV and they gave us the tough deets.
1. Exactly how big is a Texas-sized Super Bowl?
REISER - Oh, huge. The Cowboys haven't been to the Super Bowl in years, so I bet the fans will really enjoy finally getting to see one. Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
2. What do you think will be the biggest news to come out of the Super Bowl this year?
SHEPARD - Tough call. You've got Ben Roethlisberger's redemption, there's the looming labor crisis, a possible 18-game schedule. I don’t know, I’m still getting over the rampant steroid use they discovered at the Puppy Bowl. Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
3. They are wrapping up newborns in Terrible Towels in Pittsburgh. Any news on what Green Bay fans are doing with their Cheesheads? Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
SHEPARD - Lashing them together and using them as rafts to get out of Green Bay. That place is a hellhole—no offense.1 Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
4. Besides the obvious pick of Steelers kicker and Canadian icon Shaun Suisham, who do you predict will be MVP of Super Bowl XLV? Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
REISER - I go with that Packers running back, James Starks. He's gone this far tricking people into thinking that he's good, that'll probably last at least one more game. Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
5. Both the Steelers and the Packers don’t have cheerleaders, how do you think this will impact their performances? Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
SHEPARD - I don't know if it will affect the teams, but I hope we'll see a clean family game as a result. I'll be glad to know kids out there can watch the game without seeing any scantily-clad women being disrespected except during every other commercial. Onion SportsDome: Super Bowl Preview
