From
where I sit it looks like the Super Bowl is almost here, mercifully...
Thankfully,
that means an end to this ridiculous build up to the big game. I
fully understand why the NFL does it, anything to sell tickets and
generate interest. But that doesn't preclude the fact that it's
boring. Even the famous media day doesn't accomplish much. What was
learned during the Tuesday afternoon Q-and-A session? I don't mean
that Manning doesn't want to retire, or that Richard Sherman is quick
on his feet. But what was really learned about the up coming game?
Not much. The bigger issue was the same as it's been for far too
long...namely how the hell do some of these people get accredited?
It's idiotic. It's a mindless feature that's become a big deal. It
shouldn't be. I'm more interested in the actual game, than a bunch
of inane questions. The teams aren't going to reveal anything
useful. In fact, the best quip as of late was Manning a couple weeks
ago explaining what 'Omaha' means. Can we please just get to Sunday
and play the game?
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
