Day 29: For once, either option is good

January 24, 2010

At last, I actually like both teams that are going to be playing for The Super Bowl. After two glorious games (to which neither of them I was able to watch, but that's a different story), the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints are going to playing each other in the Super Bowl. This was a huge relieve as I despise both the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings. It also marks the first time I honestly do not care who wins the Super Bowl; and not in bad way. I say this because for the first time (I think ever), I don't strongly dislike one or both of the teams that are playing. Given, the list of teams that I dislike is a very large list, one that includes far too many teams for me to name.

I am not sure why this is, as I do not have such strong feelings in other sports. Well, strong feelings about such a vast number of teams I should say. It may stem from the fact that I am a Detroit Lions fan and the list of teams that have embarrassed us is quite long. In fact, the amount of teams that I do like is a short list in its self. I pretty much only like Detroit, Miami, Indy, New Orleans, Arizona and Philadelphia. I don't mind the Seahawks or the Giants and the Chargers are not bad either. Past that though, I pretty much can't stand the rest of the league. This makes getting a favorable match-up rather difficult or for the most part, impossible.

Not this year though. I am already geeked about the game two weeks before it happens. I can just see it now. Manning passing for 375 yards and three touchdowns. Brees passing for 415 yards and four touchdowns. This could very well go down as one of the most enjoyable football games ever played. Unless of course you are a Jets or a Vikings fan, than I would imagine you could care less who wins. For once though, in good way, I don't care who wins. Go Colts and Saints! I'm rooting for you.
