Sounds like Freeney has a torn ligament in his ankle. That could be a difference maker.

All I ever hope for is an exciting game. We've gotten quite a few in the past decade. One notable exception was the crappy one I attended in Tampa.

I Guaranty a victory.

Max McGee
If the Packers backup tight end played in today's era -- with the modern media -- he never would have had a chance to become a sudden star on the first-ever Super Sunday. According to football lore, McGee had quite a night before Super Bowl I -- he allegedly attended a brothel, an opium den and ended up in jail briefly. Meanwhile on gameday, Green Bay's starting tight end got hurt, leaving the hard-partying McGee to catch seven passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns in a surprise Super Bowl MVP performance.

I will be working Sunday. Don't cry for me, Argentina.

It seems like there's less excitement over this year's game than I can remember in previous years. Maybe it's the markets (Indianapolis v. New Orleans), maybe it's the Saints assclowning their way into the Super Bowl by being less comically [expletive] than the Vikings, maybe it's the lack of a national following for either team (the way that, say, the Steelers or Cowboys or Packers have).

I'll be in London on Sunday. Not sure if I'll even watch. But I'll be rooting for the Who Dats?

i hope we have another ray finkle

Mizzou's Chase Daniel riding the backwards hat all the way to the Super Bowl

I really, really hope Chase Daniel somehow gets in the game. I know it will never happen, but still.
