Let's go Pack

Another year, another Super Bowl.
Honestly, this year's game is a little anticlimatic for me. I really enjoyed the NFL season. I even stayed involved in it after my Raiders were eliminated. I thought the Michael Vick story was great. It was fun rooting against the Jets and the Patriots.
But, now that's it's been two weeks since I've watched a game, I'm not that anxious to see the Steelers and Packers tee it up.
To be in the media profession, I'm about as anti-hype as they come. I hate the over-analysis of every single detail. For that reason, I've intentionally avoided ESPN like the plague. At least, I've tried to.
I wanted to know Pittsburgh's center was put on IR. That was good information. It was useful. I didn't need to know Ben Roethlisburger took his lineman out for barbeque while Aaron Rodgers studied film.
Why do I care?
Some idiots will use this trivial nonsense as the reason why one of the quarterbacks will lose today. Big Ben was partying too much. Aaron Rodgers was too uptight.
Idiots.
Wake me up when the actual game starts.
Speaking of, I've never been a Packers fan. But, I'll guess I'll be a cheese head today - by default.
I don't like Roethlisburger. I think he got off quite easy for his off-the-field transgressions. I have a problem with guys who do what he did - allegedly.
I'm also so sick of Brett Favre I can hardly stand it. I've heard his name so much this week. It's as if he's starting at quarterback for Green Bay.
Obviously, I have to root for Aaron Rogers. He's not Roethlisburger, which is good. And, finally, if he leads the Packers to a Super Bowl, maybe it will take some of the legendary status away from Favre.
If Rodgers wins a Super Bowl, perhaps ESPN will have someone else to slurp. Maybe they won't file reports from a farm in Mississippi during the summer.
Oh dear God, we can only hope.
Let's go Pack.
