Super Bore XLI
Yeah, I care. I played football my whole life. I was a pretty typical football dork for many years, but somehow over the last decade or so, I have lost my love for the game. I used to be that kid who played in the street. When I was like 11, we made our own Stick-Um and played full contact Nerf football in the street in the fall, wearing as many sweatshirts as we could get on for padding. I watched high school football, grew up to play high school football, had a favorite NFL team since I was like 6...At one point in my life I considered the fact that I saw the Buffalo Bills exact revenge on the Giants in Rich Stadium the most fun day of my life.
Now? I couldn’t care less. I love the idea of football, but watching a game is an exercise in tedium and stupidity due to 3 hours of commercials and crap and around a half-hour of actually televised gametime broken up into 45 second chunks. Plus, you have to listen to “analysts” and “color men” who neither analyze nor add color. Further ruining the game for me is the fact that I know that 99.95% of the people I am looking at are either genetic mutants on exotic drugs, or simply big dudes on an even larger array of exotic drugs. May as well build robots and set ‘em against each other.
Speaking of which, I miss BattleBots, dammit.
Best Super Bowl XLI related thing I read anywhere? Over at Jawa, there is a post titled I Support the Colts, Not Their Mission. Genius, that.

You know what is kind of funny though is that its a lot like what Baltimore did to Cleveland with the exception of keeping the team name.
