The Super Bowl is coming soon. Last year I gave a few ways to make the Super Bowl a little more interesting. Remember the upside down, strapped in technique of viewing.

This year, the game has a little interest involved. The Pack, led by Mr. Favre will be tackling the Bledsoe-driven Pats.

So who do you pick in this situation? Does one jump upon the cheese bandwagon, or do you drive the Patriot bandwagon?

I do both. I will say officially, for the record, that if the Patriots do not score enough points, they will lose.

On the other side of the coin, if the Packers don’t score enough points, I guarantee they will not win. These are all facts that cannot be denied.

In short, who gives a crap. The Super Bowl and the NFL are boring the crap out of me.

I don’t know why I don’t give a crap any more. Maybe it’s because Cyclone blood runs through my veins. Maybe it’s because it’s college hoops season.

Maybe it’s because every time I think of football I remember when the junior high coach told me I was too fat and too slow.

I hated that. I hate you coach. If your out there reading right now … I wish the worst possible illness to manifest in your cold rotten heart!

WHOA! I need to relax a little bit.

I need to cool out. I need to release those childhood memories of ridicule, embarrassment, anger, frustration, hate, hunger, lust, love and the fear that easter bunny was actually my dad.

Anyway, we’ll get back to the Super Bowl.

I guess that since I’m the sports editor down here I’m sort of obligated to give a serious prediction every now and then.

So I’ll give you my look into the bowl. Favre will tear it up, but can Edgar Bennett do the same.

Here’s the answer. No. Is Favre good enough to hang enough points to outgun the Bledsoe-driven Patriots. Here’s the answer. Maybe.

I believe the Super Bowl will not come down to defense, because neither team will be able to stop the air attack of two of the greatest young quarterbacks to ever play in a Super Bowl.

So you have to look to the running game.

My money is on Curtis Martin and the Pats.

Cheeseheads go home. America’s new team will take home the gold. Favre will again hit the bottle. I will again hit the bottle.

The bottle will take control of the world.

My score for the big game is simple. Pats 27, Packers 24.

I know, I know. Those in Green Bay are furious. But guess what. The game is not going to be played on the frozen tundra. This equals a Patriot win as well.

Before I let you go, I would like to give a few tips for the game as well. Get Icehouse, and lots of it. Drink it. Drink lots of it.

When you’re done, get some more. Hell, it’s the Super Bowl. You have every reason to saturate your body.

Until then, we’ll talk later.
