A Few More Super Bowl Thoughts

I was beaten to the punch here, but let me just add ...

1. The best thing about Super Bowl XLIV to me is that it totally destroyed the pre-game coventional wisdom. Everyone who picked the Colts -- everyone -- did so because of Peyton Manning. The Colts have Peyton, therefore it's just short of a foregone conclusion they will win. That's what it felt like at least.

Super Bowl XLIV Observations

The Saints defense was the story, mostly shutting down the Colts in the second half and stopping them on their final three drives. The biggest stand was probably when the Colts were up one and moving the ball into New Orleans territory, but were forced into a 4th and 11 where they attempted an ill-advised 50-yard field goal. The next drive was the pick-six and the final drive didn't matter much, but the Colts never did get into the end zone to make it a one-score game and have the chance for an onside kick.

Unexciting Super Bowl Matchup

Is it just me, or is their less excitement generally for this Super Bowl than usual? Maybe, the sight of the Pro Bowl last week subtly signaled to me that the season is already over, and I've moved on. But it's also seems like the matchup itself is lacking.

GM Sutter Pulls Flames From out of Fire in Western Conference Playoff Race

North of the border, there has been much Toronto-centric coverage on the Maple Leafs and their recent roster shake-up, and yet that other Canadian team that has undergone a radical transformation over the past few days, the Calgary Flames, has probably improved so much more.

Is Dwight Freeney a Line-Mover?

The spread in the Super Bowl started at 3.5 and got as high as 5.5 last week, but now is mostly at 5. Unless the sharps suddenly moved in on the Saints, I assume the half point drop is due to Freeney's uncertain status.

Terrible Article That Deserves Ridicule

I’m obviously borrowing (stealing?) the now defunct FireJoeMorgan.com’s method here, but I’ll make it up to Mose Schrute by telling all of you to be sure to check out “Parks and Recreation,” every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on NBC (seriously, it’s a great show). Anyway, without further ado, I give you one of the worst articles I’ve read in recent memory.
