Pick One

This is the day; no more ifs ands or buts, put up or shut up, your team's going down, be careful what you wish for. All the cliches you can think of won't be worth a hill of astroturf come 6:30 tonight. The moment will be here....Super Bowl time. Whether one has a team that represents their following or not, they probably will be watching anyway. The NFL markets everything from the game itself to the commercials, which are traditionally very creative. Heck, this year Miller Beer will have a one second commercial, and after having seen it last week, I have to say they were pretty clever.

So whether you're a Steelers fan or you support the Cardinals it should be an interesting contest with one team chasing their sixth title, while the Cinderella Cardinals look to shock the sports world with their first.

My pick: Arizona Cardinals

Danger Zone!

With the Super Bowl fast approaching, there is a distinct possibility that two teams from the same state could be competing. Both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers will be battling for their conference championships on Sunday, and if successful, would represent their conferences in the Super Bowl. The problem is not the teams, but rather their fans. While Philadelphia boasts the meanest fans in the NFL, Pittsburgh fans hold up their share of the title as well.

Philadelphia fans once booed Santa Claus while he was making an appearance at a game, while Pittsburgh fans chanted that they were number one only to display it with the wrong finger. Should this match up occur, it may be necessary to call out the National Guard to keep the fans in order. The players in the meantime, can battle it out on the field, which, given the circumstances, sounds a lot safer to me!
