Calling Packer fans, Steeler nation, and anyone interested in winning a $100 Visa gift card. Patch is holding a “Predict the Big Game” contest leading up to Sunday’s football championship. We’re asking Patch readers to don your magical cheesehead or gaze into the all-knowing twirling towel and make guesses on four outcomes of Sunday’s match up. Contest categories include: The grand prize – a $100 Visa gift card - goes to the closest guess on the final score. The second closest guess wins a $50 gift card. The contest winner will be determined, first, on whether you have the winning team, and, second, on how close your score is to the final score.

It's the City of Champions vs. Titletown in the Super Bowl and Patch is joining in the fun. The Dormont-Brookline and Greendale Patches have made a wager in which the editor whose team loses will record an apology while wearing the garb of the winner.
First up, from Greendale Patch, Alex Tomter: Hi Steelers Fans, First of all I just wanted to say you're welcome for the Terrible Towels because if you didn't know you're precious little towels are made in none other than Baraboo, Wisconsin. I guess Steelers fans are pretty smart because they know where to go if they want a product that is made to last! Really I don't mind the city of Pittsburgh or the Steelers that much.

Patch caught up with Steelerbaby at Cain's in Dormont on Monday. Steelerbaby isn't making a score prediction, but he sure hopes his team wins and DESTROYS the Packers.
Are you excited for the Super Bowl? This could be the third Steelers' win in your lifetime. Steelerbaby is terribly excited about this. I can’t tell you how many diapers Steelerbaby has gone through since winning the AFC championship. Steelerbaby is definitely packing extra Pampers for this one. Where will Steelerbaby watch the game? Hopefully, Steelerbaby is going to Dallas. Steelerbaby doesn’t have tickets, but Steelerbaby always relies on the kindness of strangers. Any message for the Cheeseheads? Any team whose fans wear blocks of cheese on their heads can’t be that ferocious. It’s Cheeseheads versus hardhats. That's a big glass of half-and-half. You're not lactose intolerant, are you? That'd be messy. With no real insides, I have no …
