Sooper Bowl XL
Having seen their slipshod play last night, it is hard to believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the best team in the NFL, but hey, to the victor go the spoils. And who doesn't love Bill Cowher's glower power?

Hail to the Losers
Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, Terry Malone won't be Michigan's offensive offensive coordinator next season. Woot! Admittedly, he was hired away by the New Orleans Saints of San Antonio, not summarily fired by Coach Carr as he should have been, but of paramount importance is Malone's departure. Great day in the morning, that's fan-fucking-tastic! Homer Simpson's oft-lauded co-worker, the inanimate carbon rod, would have been a better offensive coordinator than Malone was. Wow, he was bad. Now, all is not yet well and we're still saddled with Henne at quarterback, but we found a way to win with Navarre as QB; so, overcoming the Henne handicap should be comparatively easy. It's far too early to predict next season's win-loss record, but already things are looking up. Go Blue!

With the Super-duper Bowl now past, there is no more football until September. I'd say that now is the winter of our discontent, except that if you actually read Richard III, Shakespeare intended the phrase to be intensely positive. If now is the winter of our discontent, spring must be just around the corner; when Richard speaks of the winter, he means England's fortune are on the cusp of substantial improvement. Still, seven months until the return of football... oy. Thank Bog we have the NHL this year.

I heard SuperBowl XL on the radio and watched on TV, I am a Seahawks fan. Hasselbeck or Hass as he was known with the Seahawks did audibles to get the Seahawks to the SuperBowl. But the Detroit crowd was so jazzed for the Jerome "Bus" Bettis, they acted like they were playing the Super Bowl in Pittsburg. In case you forgotten, it was originally going to be in New Orleans, but Hurricane Katrina ripped up the Super Dome. So most people who had made plans to get Super Bowl tickets changed their mind, thus leaving most of the tickets available for Jerome Bettis fans of Detriot and loyal Steeler fans to buy up. The crowd was so loud it was deafening, and the Seahawks could not hear Hass' audibles, which they depended on for victory. They played like they didn't know what they were doing. Pittsburg won despite mistakes and easily trounced the Seahawks.
