Got SuperBowl Fever? Nah, Me Neither

I imagine we'll watch the game on Sunday night, because I can never extinguish that hope that it turn out to be a great one. But typically it's a lop-sided SuperBore and the Conference Championships are then looked back on as the real cream of the playoffs, although this year even those weren't all that outstanding. One blowout and one big comeback, meaning 50/50 in terms of entertainment.

Since Hinckley's picking Chicago and I'm picking the Colts, you could probably take out a second mortgage on your house, place it all on the Bears (who don't even have to win, if you consider the spread, since Indy's favoured by something like a touchdown) and make out really well. Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting anyone do that! Betting on sports is for suckers and idiots!!

It's just that every time this year that he's picked one way and me the other, he's been right.

Funnily enough, I saw something on the sports ticker tonight about Brees - of the Saints - and Tomlinson - of the Chargers - being named the NFL Players of the Year... and yet neither of those teams made it to the big show!

You mean you're not counting down the minutes?

Just XLIV hours and XL minutes to go...
