Thoughts on Super Sunday and other NFL Tidbits

Super Bowl Sunday is finally here and there is no lack of NFL news to sift through, I have a few thoughts about the big game and the biggest NFL notes of the day
  • Steelers vs. Packers, it could be 41-34 or 17-14, honestly it's a toss up as to which side of the ball will dominate, but in the end people are going to come out of this talking about Aaron Rodgers. I feel win or lose, he's gonna be a big story for what he does today and it'll be in a positive way. If you thought you were tired of hearing Aaron Rodgers hype going into this game just wait until the confetti falls.
  • It's never going to change but 18 hours of pregame Super Bowl coverage is entirely too much, I and other football fans I know don't want to hear from Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston leading into a football game, those interviews never turn out well and at best they are hilariously awkward.
  • The fact that Jerry Jones was on NFL Network today talking about how big a day this is for Cowboys fans makes me wanna laugh in the faces of Cowboy fans. Hey Cowboys fans, how does it feel to have the biggest game of the year at your stadium and not be in it, makes you feel proud doesn't it, no? Well Jerry Jones thinks so.
  • Larry Fitzgerald is being consulted on how the Cardinals should proceed in their QB search. This is a smart move for Arizona because losing Fitzgerald would kill all the momentum the franchise ws built over the last couple of years. And Larry's assessment? Get Kevin Kolb, I would agree with Fitzy on this one.
  • Tom Brady gets the MVP award, it wasn't ever really in doubt, Brady had a phenomenal season anyway you slice it and the fact that he won it unanimously makes the honor even more impressive, maybe that will help sooth the burn of losing to a lesser Jets team, hey I said maybe.
  • Washington Redskins WR Santana Moss's contract could be voided this Friday and he would become a unrestricted free agent. Moss just completed one of his best seasons as a 'Skin and was literally the team's only play maker this season and there could be a lot of value in a 31 year old receiver who consistently gives you solid numbers and he doesn't miss many games, injury wise. 
Enjoy the Super Bowl everybody!
