• Esiason just said it was great that Tony Dungy gave thanks to "his" God. Esiason is a Muslim? Maybe that's why he's called "Boom"er.

 

10:15 p.m.

 

• I love Tony Dungy. When asked in the post-game segment about him being THE FIRST BLACK HEAD COACH TO WIN A SUPER BOWL, he said that was significant, but it was more significant that he and Lovie Smith were CHRISTIAN coaches. The New York Slimes is going to hate printing that.

 

10 p.m.

 

• The MVP award will probably go to Manning, but I'd vote for Colts' running backs. I think "co-" awards are gay, but Rhodes has 110+ yards rushing, and Addai has 10 catches.

 

9:45 p.m.

 

• No more "CONGRATS BLACK PEOPLE FOR HAVING TWO HEAD COACHES IN THIS GAME" ads. Please. For the love of God. Also, ain't it funny that in this game that features TWO BLACK HEAD COACHES, the most notable person in this game (unless something drastic happens in the last seven minutes of regulation) is the Jew quarterback?

 

• Don't blame me. I voted for Swann.

 

State Senate Republicans and Democrats expect Gov. Ed Rendell to call for a 1 percentage point increase in the current 6 percent state sales tax when he unveils his 2007-08 budget proposal on Tuesday.

 

The sales tax in Allegheny and Philadelphia counties, which is already at 7 percent, would go to 8 percent.

 

2 p.m.

 

• Hey, did I mention I went two-for-two in my Conference Championship picks? Yay, and stuff. Now it’s time to pick the Super Bowl. How will this game go? Who knows. I can see this contest going a number of ways. Will the Colts light up the scoreboard like the 49ers did against the Chargers back in XXIX, or will the Bears grind it out against a much more potent offense than their own, like the Giants did against the Bills in XXV? Will a big special teams play turn the course of the game, like the Packers had in Desmond Howard against the Patriots in XXXI? all of these scenarios are possible; all you have to do is just pick one and hope it works out. When looking at Super Bowls, particularly ones more recent, two things come to mind.

 

A great defense tends to best a great offense.

 

With all the hype leading up to this game, many times it seems it takes a quarter or so for one team (or both) to get situated.

 

Another thing I look at is the secondary matchup. Sure the marquee contest is Indy’s offense against Chicago’s defense. However, the game will probably be determined when the other units are on the field. If the Colts defense stuffs the Bears offense, it’s over and vice versa. Because of everything I have mentioned above, I’m going with the Bears 23, Colts 20. I’m now expecting a 49-0 blowout of the Bears in a few hours.

 

• One sorta tradition I have done off and on during this time of the year is watching highlights from previous Super Bowls. I just watched a few hours’ worth this afternoon, and I have to say that I don’t like the seemingly recent trend of mentioning what the halftime show was about. The Eagles/Pats recap talked about Paul McCartney, and the Seahawks/Steelers show mentioned the Rolling Stones. Odd how the Panthers/Patriots mid-game entertainment wasn’t mentioned. I have to say I don’t like the “newer” Super Bowl recaps of the 90s-00s, but whatever. NFL Films knows more than me about the subject of video production.

I'm the same way as the more recent Super Bowl films just aren't that ineresting to me. I think the main reason is the lack of John Facenda as his narration just brought an extra level of gravitas to the films.

Manning as MVP is pretty silly. He really didn't do anything great in this game. His job was also pretty easy given that the Bears chose to put absolutely no pressure on him and allowed him to complete short passes at will just so they wouldn't give up the big play. The Colts defense was once again impressive, and Grossman was horrific. That's why the Colts won.

 

I had a small parlay bet on the Bears to win outright and the over. Bwahahaha.
