Superbowl Week has to be the most exhausting week of the year in football. The media has made this event so over-hyped, have conjured up so many controversies and have stirred so many pots, that the circus-like atmosphere needs to cool down. Let’s look at some of the stuff that has gone on this week:
The Harbowl/ SupHar Bowl: Okay, enough already, we get it. The head coaches for the two teams are brothers. Shut up about it, let’s let the players, and not the coaches, be the focus of the game.
Ray Lewis may have Used Deer Antler Spray: Seriously, Deer Antler Spray? Thats the PED du jour this Superbowl week? And you are going after Ray Lewis, a legend and 17-year veteran who has never once been caught for PEDs? What’s next, are you gonna tell me that Vince Lombardi injected the Packers with Snake Oil in the 1970s. Certainly this borders on asinine.
Ed Reed will be a Free Agent (and might go to the Patriots): Reed is playing for the Ravens, a team that is in the Superbowl. The Patriots who have been in the Superbowl 5 times in the last 12 years aren’t there now. I don’t want to hear about the Patriots. I don’t care about free agency. Tell me about the Ravens defence and why Reed’s play ON THIS TEAM helped them to make the big game and if I’m convinced I’ll name my first born EdReed Kerr – boy or girl.
Chris Culliver goes on an Anti-Gay Rant: Culliver is an intollerant, prejudiced, bigotted piece of human excrement posing as a football player. He’s also not a very good football player, as he’s 4th on the depth chart for 49ers cornerbacks. Let’s leave this idiot alone and give him the attention he deserves, ie none. Yes, I see the irony in that I am writing about him. Point taken.
Randy Moss claims he’s the Best Wide Receiver Ever: This might be the biggest non-story that has been made into a story of the week. Every football fan knows that Jerry Rice is the best ever, but as Jack Stone says, Moss needs to believe in himself to get ready for the game. Nothing wrong with that.
Tim Brown accuses Bill Callahan of throwing the Superbowl for the Raiders: Come on Brown, you guys got beat, and beat badly by the Bucs. No one threw the Superbowl, you just flat-out weren’t good enough. And your explanation that the team was prepared to run and not to pass just 36 hours before the game when the plan changed? I just don’t see it as holding water. It doesn’t make sense for the number 1 passing team in the league. Stuff it, Timmy.
Superbowl Week is all hype and no action. Thankfully it will soon be over and we can get down to the most important part of the week; crowning the NFL champion. It won’t come a moment too soon.
