Yea, so today's the Super Bowl (does anyone else wonder how such a cheesy title got applied to one of the most famous single-day sporting events in the world?). I must admit, it's been nice to not have been sucked into tv land with all the analyses, trivia, SB history, etc. Faith and I decided to not own a tv once we got married and it's been nice for the most part. Of course, there are some weeks when we find ourselves over at my old roomate Carlton's more than we are at home! But by-and-large, we've made the most of the time we'd normally spend glued to the tube.

So tonight, w/o the aforementioned tele, I'm headin over to the in-laws tonight for a western tradition I'll be glad to be rid of if Faith and I actually end up living in another country. So who do I think will win? Well, the Patriots certainly seem to be solid. (One "journalist" I enjoy reading on the net is The Sports Guy on ESPN.com. He's a Boston fan so, until recently, it's been quite fun watching him vomit his torment onto his keyboard. Now he's been getting cocky, but still seems to know what he's talking about. Granted, he's a Patriot fan, but he does seem to put up a solid argument as to why they're superior.)

That said, I'm picking the Eagles by 2. 27-25. They're underdogs, it's in me to almost always root for the underdog. I don't have a solid case for the Eagles, nor do I really care who wins, but I figured I'd throw my 2 cents worth in. Take it for what it's worth.
