Gimme the chalk and the under on both.

boring.

an all PA Superbowl.

YAWN.

Might as well play it in Harrisburg. Maybe they can make a 2 for 1 deal and coordinate with Hershey Park. The Picnic area in 2 feet of snow should be more exciting than the SB.

p.s Ian I'm rooting for the Ravens just so I can root againt you.

Steelers and Over
- Somethings got to give here. It's Pittsburgh's biggest nightmare to see the Ravens celebrating an AFC Championship on the turf at Heinz Field. Look for them to come out "guns ablazin"

Cardinals and Over
- Remember that Phily and Dallas shootout?

ps Michael, you realize that means you are rooting for the Purple Browns. Can you handle that?

pps. I will be watching this game in LA, visiting Marla. Do they even get NFL coverage out there? Maybe I'll just have a wheat-grass smoothie and a hot stone massage instead.

Arizona and the Over

ok I am sticking with my guns, Mcnabb will choke, he has to. And Westbrook is banged up and there is no way the city of Philladelphia can win 2 championships in 1 year, thats just unnatural, like dogs and cats living together..Mass hysteria.

Baltimore and the under

I like Pitt to win the game, but its going to be like 3 degrees in Pittsburgh and there is no way someone wins by 6 points. Although I would like to see Hines Ward and Ray Lewis hit eachother and disintegrate like T-1000 in Terminator 2 after he gets hit with the liquid nitrogen.

Philly and under
Much as I'd like to see the Arizona Cardinals in the Superbowl, they're going up against the number three defense in the league now. It's going to be cold, and Kurt is going to get blitzed. A lot.

As for the second game, I honestly can't say which of these two god-awful abortions of football teams wants it more, and I want very much to root for the Asteroid in this case, but since I have to pick someone, I'll say Baltimore and the under.

If I'm right, then the Super Bowl is an 11-5 team against a 9-6-1 team. Also, interesting note, five NFL teams are named after birds, and three of them are vying for their conf. championships.

Re Matt's pick-

Yeah, 72 degrees in a dome will be awfully chilly. Might have to break out the long sleeve polo shirts for the coaches.

Flip said...

it is also possible for Arizona to defeat all of the bird related teams in the NFL from week 17 on, except themselves of course.

I read Bill Simmons too

Hampton, Matthew A said...

Shit, I definitely forgot that Arizona was playing a home game.

Not amending that pick though. I stand by Warner not being able to throw into that blitz

Hampton, Matthew A said...

See the other bird thing I did not know. I haven't actually read Simmons in a while. The dude definitely stopped giving a shit after ESPN took away his Obama interview and then gave it to everyone at the network except him.

Flip said...

Yeah, Simmons is still funny, but he has definately lost his pizzaz from a few years ago. I only read his non-Boston related stories, and only if I am bored (it is exam week at school, I need something to do while I am in the same room for 4 hours)

here is the excerpt:

"So you have the Cardinals beating the Seahawks in Week 17, then the Falcons in Round 1, and now, potentially, the Eagles in the NFC title game. Meanwhile, if the Ravens topple the Steelers, then the Cardinals could potentially beat every other NFL team with a bird nickname during their improbable five-game winning streak to capture the Super Bowl, and if that's not enough, birds took down Thursday's U.S. Airways flight heading from New York to Charlotte ... the city that's home to the team Arizona beat five days ago in Round 2. All I can tell you is this: Something better not happen to Larry Bird. You hear me, Arizona? Leave the Basketball Jesus out of your weird bird vendetta! Got it?"
