Not So Super

After that awful end to an otherwise very entertaining Ravens game yesterday, I'm thinking that this may be the first year since 2007 that I don't tune in for the Super Bowl (2007: we were in Zanzibar, and the game was actually on TV there - it IS a global phenomenon! - but kickoff was around 2 a.m., so I still haven't seen Peyton win a SB).

The Giants? Growing up a Washington fan and rooting for another NFC East team, especially a NY team? I don't think so. New England? Not because they beat Baltimore, but root for Belichick and Brady? No thank you. Best case? Maybe a sudden meteor shower in the Indy area. Or a Lucas Oil Stadium roof collapse. Well before the game, of course! I strongly dislike both teams, but not enough to wish death-from-above on them or their fans. In most cases.

When does spring training start? Oh wait, I'm an Orioles fan. Shit.
