The NFL sounds more like a reality radio show… if there ever was one. (Not a bad idea, right? Jersey Shore mixed with Don Imus… could turn out to be some good radio.)
Last week it was, “Who could have the biggest grudge, talk the most smack?” media week. Jets and Pats were throwing, and sometimes landing, soundbite after soundbite. Steelers and Ravens had nothing good to say to each other, obviously they ran out of compliments because they said them during their 2 regular season matchups.
This week it’s the role reversal, “They are real good, I don’t know how we are going to compete.” They are playing the ultimate underdog, just like Dean Smith did with his Tar Heel squad. Ben Roethlisberger can’t seem *says he is in awe of the Jets defense. And Charles Tillman, Bears CB, *thinks the Packers wide receivers are THE best in the league.
I’m excited. This is going to make for one heck of a quote happy, drama stirring, crazy fun Super Bowl week. Yea I said it, I’m not really that excited for the big game… only the pregame festivities that involve athletes, mind games and microphones.
It has been kind of fun watching the Jets from the summer HBO series to now. The Jets beat some good teams, so this is no fluke team. Bad news for the Jets though is that the reality show is just that - a show. The series ends tomorrow. Steelers like getting their uniforms dirty - Brady and Manning are GREAT, but don't like to be directly involved in the physical part that the other players have to endure. Roethlisburger is better in those conditions.
ReplyDeleteReal question is who wins the NFC game? Going to be a really good day for football. Four teams. Cold football weather. Not just a pass and kick competition in a dome. You're right - good football - without much talk if the Jets get turned away.
