A Tale of Two Bowls

As NY heads to Green Bay and the Bolts head to Foxborough we keep hearing stories about Favre versus Brady and what a great match up that would be, which it would ... if it happens. That might be the greatest match up between Super Bowl QBs ever. On the other hand, if things go the visiting teams' way in each of those cities we could have a terrible match up between the two whining QBs that were traded for one another on draft day not too long ago.

I can't think of many games I would like to watch less than the Giants v. the Chargers, Eli's crying about playing in SD from years past to Rivers' yelling aimlessly at fans in Indy present. Awful. As exciting to watch as the first match up would be, the latter would outweigh it on the other end of the scale, the "this is the most miserable Super Bowl since the Trent Dilfer affair" side of things. Sweet mother. At least we will get to see some old-time, slobber-knocker football in both games, with highs for those days projected in the teens and game time temps being lower still. Last week's Pack/Hawks game was about as good as it gets with the snow ... "The HD Game" as Simmons on ESPN.com is calling it. Is it the game or how pretty the snow looks in HD? Go Pack and Go Pats. Seeing Favre end the undefeated run by the Pats would be a fantastic ending to the year ...
