Super Bowl XXXVIII

Nick Momrik4 Comments

The Super Bowl is today, but I’m not all that thrilled about it. I’m not a fan of the teams, but I don’t hate them either. I would have liked to see Payton Manning and the Colts make it to the big show, but the cold New England weather did them in against the Patriots. I guess I’ll root for the Panthers simply because they are the underdogs. I have some pretty good numbers for the usual Super Bowl squares that everyone does for betting. The pot is $125 per quarter, so it would be nice to win one or maybe even two! These are my numbers:

Patriots	Panthers

7		3

5		2

4		7

9		6

6		4

Mighty Lions

Yesterday the Detroit Lions set the NFL record for consecutive road losses with their 24th in a row. I looked at the box score and they had a total of 106 yards on offense! These guys are supposed to be professions? The best in the world at playing football? I’ll continue to be a fan, but holy shit do they suck! I heard this joke on the radio this morning:

What do the Lions and an opposum have in common?

They both play dead at home and get killed on the road.

Kind of corny, but kind of funny too. At least we have the Red Wings to root for!
