Super Bowl Monday.
So, it’s late and I’m tired. I’m watching the Pats/Colts game (are you kidding me!) - yeah, lining up my Top Ten Monday before the end of the day (tomorrow promises to be a long day).
I am terribly disappointed that the Saints didn’t make it, after beating my beloved Eagles. I had made my peace with the Eagles losing last week, since if they had to lose, I was glad that it was to the Saints. They are one of those teams that you just have to like this year. Really.
And so with a nod to my previous top ten list about football, I’m bifurcating my top ten list (hey, they’re my rules) into two top five lists. The first is my top five list of NFL teams that I wouldn’t want to see in the Super Bowl this year.
- Dallas Cowboys. TO? Eeee-yew.
- Denver Broncos. I just don’t know what it is about these guys - maybe it’s Shanahan.
- Miami Dolphins. My brothers used to be huge Dolphins fans, you know, back in the day. But for the past few years, the Dolphins couldn’t buy a championship. I blame Ricky Williams and his ilk - spoiled and over-hyped.
- Indianapolis Colts. Did Peyton Manning clone himself in an effort to be in every single television commercial ever? I’m over him already.
- New York Giants. Yeah, and his little brother, too. How ’bout them Chargers, Eli?
The second is my top five list of NFL teams that I would liked to have seen make it to the Super Bowl.
- Philadelphia Eagles. Wahoo. Jeff Garcia rocks.
- New England Patriots. Chris says that they shouldn’t win another championship. I don’t know why. They’re actually classy about it - not windy braggarts. I like Tom Brady, I think he’s amazing. And I like Belichick, despite his obvious lack of fashion sense - or maybe because of it.
- New Orleans Saints. What’s not to love about this team this year?
- San Diego Chargers. LT carried me through Fantasy Football this year - and Rivers was a nice surprise.
- Pittsburgh Steelers. I haven’t the faintest clue what happened to them this year. But I still think Big Ben is a phenomenal quarterback and the team has lots of heart.

Rex Grossman is an idiot. Go Colts.
