This time, Matt Hasselbeck was the target of Antonio Cromartie, though the QB did spark the Twitter sniping. On Thursday, Hasselbeck posted on his Twitter account: "Somebody ask Cromartie if he knows what CBA stands for," referring to the collective bargaining agreement. ... Hasselbeck is the second alternate among Seattle's three union reps. It was unclear how long the comment was posted before being deleted. But Cromartie heard about it. "Hey Matt if u have something to (say) then say it be a man about it. Don't erase it," read a post to Cromartie's Twitter account. "I will smash ur face in." Hasselbeck responded via Twitter within an hour: "Sorry for the joke man. No hard feelings. DB's & QB's have a hard time getting along I guess sometimes. lol"
idc who wins either, i just put my money on pitt. Packers had a pretty easy road to the SB. philly had no D, atlanta straight choked, and chicago went through 3 QB's. pitt beat the 2 best teams in the NFL jets/ravens. pitt has the experience...

Oh come on, that's bullshit. The Falcons were almost unbeatable at home this year and Chicago had that defense. They went through 3 QBs because of Green Bay.........
philly's d didnt show up, or O for that matter, the falcons were unbeatable untill they choked, that performance was embarrasing and cmon, we all knew GB was gonna beat chicago. i just thought they would have whooped more ass then barely beat a team with thei 3rd stringer in. yeah i know Rodgers is good, but he hasn't proven he's great. he almost cost them the game against the bears with costly turnovers. Pitt beat 2 great teams. the packers are overrated
Pittsburgh and Green Bay and 1 and 2 in scoring defense, respectively, so to say Pittsburgh's defense is far superior is inaccurate. And Rodgers can get out of the pocket and extend the play like Rapistberger can, he's just never had the experience yet. The teams are about as evenly matched as can be and both teams deserve to be there. Green Bay isn't overrated, they were the 6th seed in the NFC for god's sake.
i agree that the packers deserve to be there, they earned it. rodgers has played great. i just think pitt had the better D, i know GB had a great D, but i'd take pitt's anyday over GB. the packers havent faced a team with as good a D as pitt so far in these playoffs. pitt faced 2 teams with great D's. it's one game, anything can happen. GB has a great team, i just don't see them beating pitt. i have money on pittsburgh so i hope i'm right. let's just hope for a good game!!!
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- This time it's a comment -- not a tweet -- that's created another rift as the Green Bay Packers prepare for the Super Bowl.
And it's deep enough that one of team's most vocal Twitter users is vowing to quit using the service.
Injured linebacker Nick Barnett said he's ending his account at the social media site, which has caused a wave of player incidents and backlash in the last week on everything from Jay Cutler's knee to who will be in a Super Bowl team photo.
The most recent hurt feelings in Green Bay began when Aaron Rodgers was asked during a five-minute media availability Saturday if he feels for his teammates on injured reserve because they can't take part in the run-up to the game next Sunday.
Rodgers made a point of saying that when he spent time on injured reserve in 2006, he stayed in Green Bay to finish the season instead of returning home to California.
He never mentioned teammates by name, but said that some of Green Bay's 16 players listed on the injured reserve this season chose not to rehab locally.
"I'll say this, I was on IR back in 2006 and I chose to stick around and finish out the season with my guys and be here every game. Some of those guys didn't," Rodgers said. "We love them, we care about them, we don't wish injury on anybody, but this is a group of guys that's really come together and it's been great to work with the guys we've brought in midseason, some of them, and the young guys.
"Some of the guys who were injured, they still are part of this team, but some of them didn't choose to stick around."
Rodgers also was asked whether he'd feel closer to the injured players if they had stayed in Green Bay.
"Well, they're part of this team, first and foremost, but some guys choose to do their rehab in other places," Rodgers said.
The comments apparently irked Barnett, who posted on Twitter that he plans to delete his account, though it remained active Saturday afternoon.
"All I wanted to be is included as a teammate nothing more," Barnett tweeted. "Looks like it has backfired on me.. I guess That was asking too much... Sorry if I offended anyone."
Barnett and tight end Jermichael Finley took to Twitter this week to complain that they weren't going to be in the photo because it was scheduled to be taken Tuesday, two days before injured players are to arrive in Dallas.
