Yesterday was the media day for the Super Bowl.
No, no one said anything that would warrant a posting on a cork board prior to Sunday's game. Yes there were stupid people dressed in outfits asking retarded questions. Actually scratch that, retarded is not the word because it's offense to what retarded means. I need a word that is like retarded but is more powerful and means something is so ludicrous and outrageous and utterly stupid one's head would explode like that guy in Scanners.
Man, I hate the two weeks before the Super Bowl. Granted I hate the NFL because all it is, is non-stop hype about stuff that could be summed up in two minutes but must be repeated several million times on all 839 airings of NFL, which itself is a lark of programming. Do we need NFL in the summer... NO! It takes away from Baseball Tonight, truly amazing broadcasting.
Back from the sidebar... the Super Bowl hype is outrageous. Yes, Kurt Warner is back. No, I don't care if he is confident in his chances. Yes, I know Mike Tomlin is black. No, I don't think he could be President of these United States. Football allows itself to swell with all this context, pretext and background and match ups. It hemorrhages and before you know it, you forgot what was so big about it when the game was over. Basketball doesn't have it, neither does hockey. Baseball could never have it since they play everyday and pointless build up would be... well... pointless.
Could someone tell the league to eliminate the bye week and just end this damn season... pitchers and catchers are going to report soon.
