Now that the Packers and Steelers are firmly ensconced in their classy Texas hotels, it's time for a little translation guide.

Wait! Classy and Texas is an oxymoron. But you know what I mean.

Anyhow, from now until the game we are going to be deluged with online, print and broadcast coverage that will rival and maybe exceed the coverage of William and Kate's nuptials. As always, bland questions will be answered with equally bland responses. Nobody ever says what they mean at a Super Bowl.

So, after years of experience at this thing, here are some quotes you will hear, and what they really mean when you strip away all the bull.

Steeler says: "They've really found a running game and we're very concerned about James Starks and their offensive line."

Steeler means: "James who? From where? Buffalo? Give me a break. Nobody runs on us and that includes someone named Starks from Buffalo."

Packer says: "All season long we've been hit with injuries to players. But we have confidence that the ... uh, the new guys... will step up and fill in and ... uh ... step up."

Packer means: "Who are these guys? I'm supposed to play next to some guy and we've never even met? I mean, where's his locker?"

Steeler says: "I don't think being here so many times before is really much of an advantage. We all put our uniforms on one leg at a time. I'm sure the Packers won't be too awed by all this."

Steeler means: "Let's face it. The Super Bowl is huge. It's very difficult to concentrate on your job with all these distractions. We've learned how to do it. They don't have a clue."

Packer says: "We're going to have to be patient and take what they give us. We can't force the ball against them. It's got to be there before we let it go."

Packer means: "I'm nervous about throwing too quickly in order to avoid their pass rush. I'll be thinking about that from the very first play. God, don't let me throw it into coverage."

Steeler coach says: "We have a lot of respect for them. They've had some surprises this year but here they are and that says a lot."

Steeler coach means: "Did you see the Packers against Detroit?"

Packer coach says: "Our fuh-ball team plays hard-nosed fuh-ball and we know we are going to have to run the fuh-ball against them."

Packer coach says: "That is an unbelievable defensive front seven and I think it’s going to be a game of pass well or die. Nobody runs on them. I’m not crazy."

Roger Goodell says: "These two small town teams are what the NFL is all about. This is the perfect match-up.'

Roger Goodell means: "Do you idiots realize how much more revenue we could generate if it was New York and, say, Dallas in this game?"

Terry Bradshaw says: "Brett Favre."

Terry Bradshaw means: "Brett Favre."

Barack Obama says: "I'm not picking anybody. I like both teams."

Barack Obama means: "Hey, I grew up a Bears fan. Fifty percent of being a Bears fan is hating everything about the Green Bay Packers. Enough said."

Jerry Jones says: "I had hopes that we might be here. It would have been perfect. But in the NFL you have to learn to live with disappointment."

Jerry Jones means: "If I could find Wade Phillips, I'd kill him."
