As much as I love football and the Super Bowl, are now among my least favorite time of year. I hate this week between the conference championships and the big game. Not only is there no football worth seeing (with apologies to the Senior Bowl), but we are committed to the experts, with too much time on their hands, and nothing worth listening to say, to tell us what is important. It's frustrating because much of what they say is not in the least important, but the stories are catchy enough that people so often repeated, over and over again. It makes me crazy. We are less than a week in this race two weeks ridicule, but it has a lot of stories I heard that makes my head hurt was. Here are six:
1) The status of the task of the coach. We have a few weeks ago heard that Lovie Smith is not only the highest-paid coach in the league, but he had a contract past next season. In addition, the reports come out that could think Tony Dungy retires, whether he wins the Super Bowl. Although there is doubt on the future of the two coaches (although Smith will of course served), if you think for a second serve, as a distraction for both teams, or that affect both teams preparations, then never paid attention to any coach, and they not another part of the respect they deserve.
2) Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy friendship. I have more on the relationship between these two men in the last week, which I heard about Brad and Angelina and TomKat heard. The two men are close - Smith now Dungy as his mentor - and says they should Dungy most of his career in the NFL, because Dungy hired him in Tampa Bay in 1996. If you think that somehow that means that Smith is not desperate to crush the life out of Dungy's team, and vice versa, then you have never had a boyfriend and I pity you.
3) Rex Grossman is horrible. Everyone can not stress enough that Rex Grossman is a terrible quarterback, and that this is a historical anomaly. Only one problem - not true. Of course, Grossman had some terrible games, but so has everyone, including Peyton Manning. Manning is definitely a better player in general - and by far - but Grossman had seven games during the season with a passer rating over 100 at all bad. It is also the same number had Manning. These are the important things - Grossman is the starting point quarterback of a team that is 15-3 and heading to the Super Bowl. Could not nice to see, or very coherent, but believe his coach and his companions to him and he just keeps winning. Grossman is also on the way back to Florida, a state that is a decent game or has played 30, during the year. To think that Grossman is the biggest story in the Super Bowl lazy and ridiculous.
4) Peyton hand. Manning has an x-ray in hand, which he injured against New England. Although he received a certificate of good health, many people want to make a problem of hand what it could be an important factor and could cost the Colts. These people have obviously never seen play Manning. The boy did not lose playing time and is absolutely desperate to win here. He had won the hand had been stolen last week. In addition, you have to work two weeks and all the wonders of modern medicine, and there is nothing to save until after this game, so it does not relax. Colts could lose, but it will not cause a bone when they do.
5) The extension of seven points. It is possible that the final extension of the game, the Colts' seven-point favorite. If so, then it is the eighth time that the Super Bowl has the same distribution of the line had closed. In the past seven years, are Favorites are the only 1-5-1, and people tended to suggest that Indy can be. Now the long-term historical trends are under suspicion suspicious in the best, but if we consider that each of these favorites were the Colts, and none of these losers were the bears, then this condition is less relevant to Ross Perot those days. It is simply not care.
6) The Colts' offense to overwhelm the Bears. Maybe, but certainly not a fact. The Bears have a little talent and defense capabilities. Lovie Smith is aware of the habits of the offensive its Dungy's time together. The Bears were certainly not of the Saints and their potent offense overwhelmed. The Colts as a world leader on the offensive for most of the playoffs. They were pretty lame against Kansas City, painful and useless against Baltimore in the first half of the game in New England. This game could be a flight, but experts say it is only guaranteed not bother to do their homework.
