To all readers who aren't football fans: I apologize for the 4th straight football post. Rest assured this is the last one that will done, at least until the Bears screw up the draft.
Well, how about the end of that Super Bowl, eh? Too bad the rest of the game was unremarkable.
I apologize for not giving my Championship or Super Bowl picks, but as you can see the simple rule with my picks is go against me, unless Pittsburgh and Baltimore are involved. Until the Super Bowl I picked both teams correctly, and certainly would have picked Pittsburgh had I known they were going up against the Cardinals.
Although they were a model of mediocrity during the regular season, I must congratulate the Arizona Cardinals for joining the real NFL. Now their fledgling group of fans can move from ridiculous irrelevance to painful memories. The Eagles , Bills, and Browns fans welcome you. Detroit and Houston, you're next.
And to Pittsburgh, I congratulate you. You now have one for your left hand as well. Also, considering you have to live with the Pirates, I'm not sure another title isn't deserved.
And so, another season wraps up, and the lights for meaningful games are out until next September. A sports hungry nation turns its eyes towards college basketball, just in time for the run to the tournament. And later this month, four of the sweetest words in the English language ("Pitchers and Catchers Report") will usher in the beginnings of another summer in the sun. For those in Cleveland and on the north side of Chicago, Dallas San Francisco, and yes even you in Kansas City and Pittsburgh, can be forgiven for having hope.
At least until after Opening Day...
