Super Bowl Preview

Some predictions about next week's game:

1). Marshawn Lynch will continue to be an a$%^ole.

Lynch is an unbelievable force. When he was here in Buffalo he got into beast-mode and he ran down people - on and off the field. He's been arrested for gun charges. There are suspicions that he is a gang-member. He won't talk to the media. He ravaged the neighborhood he lived in when he was here in Buffalo.

Western New York wanted him gone.

Then he went to Seattle and grabbed national attention.

They won the Super Bowl and he was great...on the field.

Off the field he continued to act like a jerk, but a funny thing happened...

Nation-wide people think he's cute.

He makes a mockery of the media.

He grabs his crotch when he scores.

I'm guessing that he'll do that next week too.

2). New England won't say anything either.

Tom Brady talks about his teammates and is gracious.

People hate him.

Bill Belicheck speaks highly of his opponent, in monotone.

People hate him more.

They won't say a single thing that means anything.

If asked about "cheating" they'll laugh...to themselves.

3). The Refs will suck

They suck every game.

Conspiracy?

Inadequate?

It's disturbing, to be sure, and the NFL will eventually get burned in the absolute biggest moment.

Will this be the year?

4). Millions and millions will watch...mostly because they're betting

Baseball is a better game.

People talk about how "exciting" football is, but it's only because it's packaged with bells and whistles and because...

...people are wagering on everything!

It's a form of legalized gambling.

Point spreads. Fantasy leagues. Squares.

Does anyone even actually care if they line up and play football?

5). The Final Score

There have actually been a few entertaining Super Bowl Games.

Giants-Bills, Titans-Pats, Giants-Pats, Steelers-Cardinals...all good games.

The game between the Seahawks-Broncos last year wasn't.

There have been a lot of duds over the years.

Broncos-Giants, Bills-Cowboys, Bills-Redskins, Bills-Cowboys, Raiders-Redskins, Raiders-Tampa...

...a lot of duds.

This one won't be.

But I think the better team is actually New England.

And I think they'll win.

30-20.

A late touchdown will end all suspense.

And I won't win a square.

But I'll get a hoodie!

Because you can't bet on baseball? Isn't that why Pete Rose is on a lifetime ban?
