SUPER BOWL XL!!!!
While I relish in my FANTASY FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP tonight, I know that on Sunday there is this other championship game that is being played somewhere in Michigan. So, here are some of my personal Super Bowl XL questions..
My Giant icon is up, because NEXT YEAR, I am sure I am goign to be paying way mroe attention to the game, since my boys will be playing in it!!!
Ben Roethlisberger is hot, he ain't a Manning, but hot none the less..

On Monday all you heard about was this Seahawks van that mysteriously crashed into a security gate at the Radisson hotel. They kept asking the player is the were "OK" or "At all banged up".. Seriously, is this a question, do they really think that a VAN hitting a WOODEN SECURITY GATE is going to cause injury enough to PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES that Matt (OMG AM I BALD) Hasslebeck won't be able to play...GEEZ!!
SINCE WHEN IS IT NOT OK TO TRASH TALK IN THE NFL? Evidently Jerramy (that's how it is spelled) Stevens of the Seahawks said something the other day which to Joey Porter of the Steelers sounded like a win guarantee, then all hell broke loose. Media going nuts, players vowing revenge BLABLABLA!!! What the hell? Since when has the NFL been so freakin politcally correct.. I mean what is a good football game without a good "your momma is so fat . . . " yelled over the line of scrimmage.. Its ridiculous..
Is the Super Bowl over hyped, YES. Is the game itself usually a HUGE let down, YES. Why do we all watch the Super Bowl... COMMERCIALS and 1/2 TIME!! Don't get me wrong, the Stones are awesome.. I am just nervous that one or more of them will drop dead during 1/2 Time and we will all forget NIPPLEGATE real quick. I contend that Keith Richards is in fact already dead, but is kept alive by some amazing technology that we common folk don't know about yet.
I am done... Again, this Championship is only slightly more important than my winning my company's fantasy football league..
