Perhaps I shouldn't complain since my favorite team was in last year's big game, but then again they lost. Aside from that one glorious moment in early 2007, I have to look back to my senior year in high school to find a super bowl that didn't involve either the dreaded Patriots or the dreary/lucksack/dusty finishes-filled Steelers. And best believe when I was 17, I didn't watch a single minute of Bucs v Raiders.
Finally the NFC has a strong brand and halfway decent team representing them. Sure there were the Giants and Saints, two underdogs who proved their worth, but those are the exceptions to a long string of teams such as the Cardinals (yep, it'll never happen again), Bears, Seahawks, McNabb led Eagles, Panthers, Bucs, and before them, the pseudo Rams dynasty. That is a list of crap if I've ever seen one. Meanwhile the AFC has a Steelers, Colts, or Pats representation for the 8th straight year, and 9 out of the last 10.
Predictions:
Ben Roethlisberger makes a series of inexplicable mistakes, some resulting in turnovers. Announcers credit this to his toughness, determination, heroics, and size. Millions of viewers determine this is actually the result of him being from Ohio, where good decisions are illegal.
Donald Driver receives tons of praise for being "old" and has 2 catches for 11 yards.
Aaron Rodgers performs his nauseating "championship belt" gimmick no less than 4 times; announcers love that a white guy celebrates, meanwhile I'm left to wonder why they vilify Chad Ochocinco for his creative and involved post touchdown choreography.
Mike Tomlin never smiles.
James Harrison complains about everything. There are rules bitch. Retire or don't.
Heath Miller makes less impact on the game than Shaun Suisham, who proves that being Canadian does not necessarily make you a good placekicker.
We all reminded why no one likes the color yellow.
