Unless your a Colts or a Saints fan (or in Las Vegas), you’re likely looking forward to something besides the outcome of this Sunday’s Super Bowl in Miami.
As much as I love to sit and listen to Phil Simms break down pass protections, blitz packages, the Manning family quarterbacking tree and Reggie Bush’s big-play capabilities most weekends throughout the year, I’ve gotten my fill with all the over-analyzing that goes on the two weeks leading up to the game. One can only take so much of John Clayton and Chris Mortensen reporting on Dwight Freeney’s ankle.
Once the 44th Super Bowl kicks off, my attention is focused on the women who will be in GoDaddy.com commercials, how much bean dip I can down, at what point to switch from beer to cranberry/vodkas and the inevitable arguments with fellow NFC East fans on what was the greatest Super Bowl champ to come out of the division; the ‘91 Redskins, one of the Big Three-led Cowboys teams or the ‘86 Giants that were quarterbacked by Simms? (This argument is also when Eagles fans, and their zero Super Bowl titles, get quiet … which is almost unheard of.)
Don’t get me wrong, the game is going to be fantastic. It’s the Saints and their fearless leader, undersized and underestimated (just ask the Dolphins, who passed on signing him a few year back) quarterback Drew Brees vs. the Chosen One (Manning) and his Jordanaires. It’s the battle of the teams with the best records in their respective conferences, the top two vote-getters in the MVP balloting (Manning and Brees), the first year coach (Indy’s Jim Caldwell) matched up with the coach who looks like he’s 13 (New Orleans’ Sean Payton), the Battle of the Reggies (Wayne and Bush), the Brickyard vs. Bourbon Street.
Whatever angle you want to view it from, it’ll be a great game and I’m sure you will enjoy it.
And don’t mind me, I’ll be the guy in the back of the room with beer stains on his shirt, bean dip on his chin and some pissed off Giants fan trying to come after me (my buddy Walt can tell you all about what that’s like) who keeps asking what the score is.
