Superbowl is like the 2000 election


This year's Superbowl reminds me of the election between Bush and Gore. I didn't care who won, and I didn't care who lost. I simply don't care because I don't want either team to win. I wish they could just tie. How does Tiki Barber feel right now? He must be pissed the fu(k off right about now. He actually inspired them by talking bad about every one.

I would rather watch the Australian Open hoping for a black person to make the finals.

Green Bay as a team was too young for the Giants. New York is battle hardened and have failed more ways than the Packers. Green Bay seemed happy to be there but not hungry. In reality, that lack of focus could be on the coaches. When a team daydreams as much as the Packers have this post season, it's usually the coach. Well, that and the defense simply has no strategy for the big Plex.


Phillip Rivers is a warrior for playing without an ACL. The Chargers played to their appropriate level. With any 1 of the 3 playing effectively, New England was theirs. They will be scary next year as young Cromartie becomes a Jedi.

Playoff thoughts


Danny boy should go ahead and hire Gregg. The defense cannot get any better with another coach. The only thing that can improve it is someone like Asante Samuel or Haynesworth. A different coach won't change them from say spot 5 to spot 3, only players can do that.


I expect Favre and company to win today. I think GB's corners can jam up Eli's receivers. From what I've seen, Eli sucks when under pressure. I see the Packers making enough big plays to win.

It is good to see you have some hope for your Chargers. I feel that they play the right kind of football to disrupt the Patriots. They have dominant line play and they have Cromartie. The reason why Martyball failed was because the Chargers could not stop teams that line up with 4 or 5 receivers. That is a typically weakness of the 3-4 defense. It's the reason why Blitzburg will sometime struggle and why New England always comes out passing against San Diego. If Cromartie can cover Moss deep successfully in the beginning stages of the game, San Diego has a shot.

On that note, I think they will pull it off. If they don't, then I am comfortable with New England's status because they beat all of the teams that I thought had a chance against them.
