XL - and the silliness is getting deep

Joey Porter of the Steelers is taking himself way too seriously. talking about taking people out, paybacks for guarantees, jeez. What a doofus. It's like these guys who make a tackle halfway thru the first quarter and jump around as if it were the play of the game. By the 4th quarter, their ass is dragging and they give up a game-winning field goal. Or a lineman makes a sack and does a victory whatever -- but his team is already losing 35-3, so what's with that?

Apparently football smarts do not require real smarts. That's ok. They should just keep cameras and microphones away from these guys. The game is going to be fun; living here in the Pacific Northwest, the idea of the Seahawks as champs is pretty damn intoxicating. But it's just a game. It's not as if it were truly important to the world and all of history -- after all, it's not the 49ers.
