My Superbowl pick

I tried to think of a effective, scientific way to approach thinking about and eventually picking who I believe will win the Superbowl. I know that the Cardinals are the favorite because they score a lot of points during a game, but what did the Eagles almost do to them. The Cardinals defense allowed the Eagles to come back and take the lead in the 4th quarter. Of course, they trounced the Panthers, but any team (except maybe the Cowboys) could trounce a team that spotted them six turnovers. While their offense is very good, I believe that the Steelers defense is better. They have been nothing short of amazing this season. One of the Steelers main problems, in my humble opinion, is that they are kind of like the San Antonio Spurs in basketball, that is, boring. In this fast pace society, nobody wants to see the defensive team win it all. I also believe that the majority of the country will be rooting for the Cardinals because it is the first time they made it to the Superbowl, but is that really a reason to root for a team? I don't think so. You also can't overlook the fact that Omar Epps/Mike Tomlin is only the third coach in Steelers franchise history and that he is the first black one. I don't think that makes much of a difference, but I thought I should throw it in there in case I have some readers that might be offended if I don't mention that. And finally, since you made it all the way to the end of this post, I will give you my pick.

Cardinals - 30

Steelers - 24

Enjoy the Superbowl everybody

First Day

Hmmm, who really wanted to close down Gitmo? Was it the general public? No. Was it the congress as a whole? No. Was it America’s enemies, or was it America’s democrat party? Actually, it was both of them. Am I the only person in this great nation that believes it is a bad thing to set terrorists free, or, worse, bring them here? I don’t think I am the only one. But President Obama has decided to make one of his first orders of business as president to close Gitmo and figure out what to do with the detainees later. So if you are keeping score at home, the score is America’s enemies – 1, America – 0 under president Obama. If you keep score by day, for George W. Bush it was America’s enemies – 1, and America 7 years, 364 days. We are losing to the enemy for the first time since the war on terror began. But who is keeping count, right? If President Obama does everything he promised he would do, we will be attacked here at home again sooner than we thought, and he won’t have Bush to blame that one on. Lets all pray that President Obama somehow see’s the light and comes to the realization that keeping America safe is not only a good idea, it is his JOB.

T.O. anyone?

I guess that Cardinals wide out anquan boldin was trying to be like Terrell Owens when he blew up at his offensive coordinator and left the game before the celebration even started. I can't imagine why else a player would do that, unless, of course he was just a dirt bag to begin with. Players who are all about their own stats way more than the team have always irritated the mess out of me, but to do it on the national stage in the biggest game in your franchise's history is inexcusable. And, I know, he came out today and said that this wouldn't be a distraction for the Super Bowl in two weeks, and I actually believe him. Why would it be? NFL coaches and owners have gotten used to the Terrell Owens, anquan boldins and Randy Moss's of the world. It is becoming a part of the football experience to have a stuck up overestimated as a wide out. The only question I have is where will he play next season, when, I wish the question was simply WILL he play next season. This kind of attitude is so prevalent because owners, players and coaches let it be prevalent. In my opinion, he should be benched for the Superbowl.

Farwell Adress

Did anyone besides me feel that President Bush's farwell speech lacked anything at all? I lacked emotion, passion, it even lacked personality. I wish he would have quited his critics instead of himself, but , that was always one of his problems in my opinion. I thought he never spoke out when he actually should have. I am sad to see the President go, but on the plus side, I should have alot more to write about as the new president takes office. I know, I know, I have written so much so far.
