Super Bowl Sunday

Ah, the one day of the year when it's politically correct to lay back on the sofa, eat junk food, and watch TV. Unless you're some sort of left wing liberal Commie who hates sports and doesn't own a TV, in which case you shouldn't be living in America anyway.

Pre-game meal: Italian beef sandwich with giardinera sauce and grilled onions, with a big side of onion rings, courtesy of Chicago On A Bun, where one pays five bucks for a hot dog, even if it's hot dog done right. Washed it down with a bottle of Pilsner Urquell. Tasty.

If it weren't the Super Bowl, it would've been a pretty pedestrian football game, last-second heroic drives aside. Aside from the fact that I have zero reason to care about either team, now Patriots fans like ESPN.com's Sports Guy will be going on and on for weeks, possibly even intruding on Spring Training. Because there's nothing more insufferable than a man whose favorite sports team has just won the championship.

I'll miss the weekly Edge NFL Matchup show, though, especially with Suzy Kolber hosting. There's something to be said for a hot mama who can talk serious football X's and O's and sound like she knows what she's talking about and enjoys talking about it.
