Super Bowl - Breakdowns by Position

The World Series, the World Cup, the Stanley Cup, the NBA Championship, and even March Madness are pale mortals in America compared to 1 football game every year, the Super Bowl. Super Bowl Sunday is now played almost a full month later in the year than when it originally started and it only seems to build to the game even more. Bart Starr was the first Super Bowl MVP when the Packers defeated the Chiefs at the Memorial Coliseum in a 35 to 10 victory. This years Super Bowl will be “a first” for the Arizona Cardinals with their veteran and former Super Bowl MVP, Kurt Warner at the helm. An almost inconceivable match up at the beginning of the year is actually pretty close. Let’s break down Cardinals vs Steelers.

NFL Divisional Playoffs Day 1 Wrap-Up - Ravens best Titans - Cardinals destroy Panthers

Wow, just wow. I need to stop picking teams since I think I’m just jinxing them at this point. This was the first day of play to determine who would go to the conference championship games. Would it be the Panthers, Ravens, or their rivals? Well, if you read my predictions you would have already figured this out.

Ravens 13 - Titans - 10

A game that was totally predictable as a defensive struggle. Both teams started their initial drives punting and that pretty much was most of the game. The first half was not totally stale with the Titans shifty rookie, Chris Johnson, burning up the Ravens for some big gains and putting the first points on the board with a slick scamper around the right side for 6 points. It really was looking like the Titans were going to be able to continue running the ball.

NFC Pro Bowl Roster - Snubs / Analysis

Look, it’s simple, the fans just do not get it right and never will.  There is always going to be too many snubs with the online polls so lets just get to it…

Offense

QB
Starter: Kurt Warner - Arizona
Backups: Drew Brees - New Orleans, Eli Manning - New York (Giants)

Snub 1: Tony Romo - Dallas

Look, I know the Giants are on top of the world but Manning is not the reason. Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, and the defense gets the Giants to where they need to be. Tony Romo has been excellent this year leading the NFC in QB Rating (98.3), yards per completion (8.2), and is a 63% passer. Manning has a rating of 86.4, is completing 60%, and is only averaging 6.8 a completion. Eli isn’t having a bad year necessarily but Romo has been much better and more vital for his team.

NFL Network Secretly Hosted by Muppets!

As I sat and watched the NFL Network this past Sunday it was like I was seeing things for the very first time. I was in awe of who was actually hosting the shows. The broadcasters are not always the most interesting bunch but I suddenly realized they were vastly more intriguing than any other sports network. They were all Muppets!!! I have proof…

Deion Sanders –> Dr. Teeth
This one is plainly obvious. “Neon Deion” did not just slowly disappear become “Prime Time.”  During the transition Sanders obviously was developing his Muppet-self as Dr. Teeth.

Losing on Idiocy - Cowboys 13 - Steelers 20

Cold, hot, wet, dry, and yet all the same in this matchup. When the Cowboys and the Steelers face off it is always a battle no matter the conditions.  This past Sunday was no different with both teams laying hits all over the field, fights and scuffles were plentiful, and the scoring was minimal.  It is too bad that the team that lost was merely the team that did more stupid things.  The Cowboys need to raise their on field IQ by a lot if they want to make the playoffs.
