Super Blah

So it's the Packers and the Steelers, eh?

Two of the most storied franchises in NFL history competing against each other in the biggest game of the season, you don't say?

The Packers, winners of the first two Super Bowls and three overall, against the Steelers, looking to break their own record of Super Bowls won, going for their seventh.

Well wake me up on February 7th.

I cannot stand a team or individual dominance over a sport. The New York Yankees, Lance Armstrong, Jimmie Johnson...you don't impress me, you bore me! It takes the fun out of cheering all season long, just to get to the end and realize, "Wow, these teams are here again...I feel like an idiot for rooting for ANYBODY else."

Ok, so Packers fans, I realize that you haven't been to the big show since '96, but you've been at least a playoff team 90% of the time since then.

Steelers fans, shut the hell up. I know most of you are asking yourselves, "what the hell is he talking about, we have the chance to win our third championship in the last seven years!"

Exactly. You're very proud, good for you. The rest of us are SICK of you. Take solace in knowing that the only team we are more sick of than you are the New England Patriots and they've choked harder than a rookie porn star these last three years.

We thought we finally caught a break when Big Ben struck again this off season. There was no way you guys were gonna stay afloat with all this drama from the center of your franchise...AGAIN!

But yet again, you weathered the storm, won the games you had to win, and made me physically ill in the process.

Where is all this parity that the NFL hypes up year after year? I thought because of the salary cap limit, the NFL draft, and free agency we were supposed to believe that ANY given Sunday that ANY team can win?

Who cares if Green Bay or Pittsburgh wins another title besides the die hard Packers and Steelers fans?

Seriously. Honest question. Do you care?

If so, why? Where's the draw? What are the headlines this year?

Can Aaron Rodgers step out of Brett Favre's shadow? I thought he already did that by keeping his head held high and letting Favre self-implode over the last four years.

Can Big Ben step out of his own self-inflicted image gunshot wounds? Hasn't he already done that by staying out of trouble situations this year and guiding his team to the Super Bowl?

Is that it?

It's certainly not because the Black Eyed Peas are doing the half-time show this year because they're hackneyed garbage...

I guess it's the commercials then. Those of us outside of Green Bay and Pittsburgh get to care about the marketing this year.

Happy Super Sunday, kids.
