As the Truth sees it…

Today’s Super Bowl may feature two boring teams and two very dry quarterbacks. For two weeks I have tried to catch Super Bowl fever. But it just has not come.
Where have the days gone when teams featured personalities and characters such as the “Playmaker” Michael Irvin, Lawrence Taylor, John Riggins, Icky Woods doing the Icky Shuffle, Joe Namath, Primetime Deion Sanders, etc…? Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL have done their best to weed out any player who has personality or a tendency to rebel against the establishment.
Instead, what we have left are the likes of Dallas Clark, Reggie Bush, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. They are about as exciting John McCain reading “War & Peace” to a class of fourth-graders.
I have little to no interest in the outcome of the game, except that I can’t stand Peyton Manning. So seeing him lose is all I have to root for today. But sense it’s the Super Bowl, tradition forces me to watch it and make a prediction.
Saints 38, Colts 31.
