The People's Choice - Super Bowl XLIV

You, the  Internet, found time between your shopping for snacks and your selection of lucky jerseys to voice your opinion on the People's Pigskin lineup for the Super Bowl round of the NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge. Here's the lineup, and here's the breakdown.

Quarterback. For the third round in a row, the votes went to Drew Brees. Because he's starting for the Internet's favorite fantasy football team for the third straight week, he gets triple the points.

Running back. Super Bowl Sunday's starters are the same as the conference championship starters: Pierre Thomas and Joseph Addai. They both get double the points.

Wide receiver. Again, we have a couple of repeat starters who will get double the points: Reggie Wayne and Marques Colston.

Tight end. Yes, Virginia, it's possible to run an Internet poll on fantasy football and get a unanimous vote. Everyone picked Dallas Clark, another beneficiary of the double points for starting a second straight round.

Kicker. This race did not feature anyone getting bonus points. In fact, we are using the fourth kicker in as many rounds, because each kicker has lost in the first three rounds. I don't know if New Orleans Saints fans will be happy to hear that you, the Internet, have selected Matt Stover for our Super Bowl starting spot.

Defense/special teams. I guess it wouldn't be a People's Pigskin team without at least one poll that resulted in a tie. Following the long and proud People's Pigskin tradition, we flipped a coin (without the help of these guys). The winner: the Indianapolis Colts.

You can see the poll results below. The new poll is about the halftime entertainment, but feel free to vote before the game. We'll be back tomorrow with a look at the Daytona 500 and how you, the Internet, will select the People's Pitstop lineup. Until then, enjoy the Super Bowl, and try not to drown in nacho cheese.
