We must celebrate our national holiday, Superbowl Sunday, so use this blog to make predictions, comment on the game, and complain about the half-time show. You can live-blog the commercials. We will even modify our newly-minted blog rule to allow for trash talk, as long as it’s related to sports, since that seems to be an issue in this particular game.
My Packers didn’t get in it, so it’s hard for me to pick a side. Any suggestions? Denver defeated the Packers when they did make the Superbowl a few years ago, so that’s hard to forgive. (Have you noticed that when your team loses in the World Series, you think, well, great season, since we got into the World Series. But when your team loses the Superbowl, your hopes are so dashed and you feel so depressed that you almost wish they didn’t get that far.) Seattle stole Coach Mike Holmgren from the Packers, who in turn plundered some of their players. I don’t know if that should make me dislike them or like them.
