The Dreaded Pre-Super Bowl Week

Well here we are: one week removed from the Super Bowl, in a doldrum of unexciting sports action and political and social inactivity. Spring Training is still weeks away. College basketball won't really heat up for another month or so. This is awful...I am sick of watching the same recycled reports on ESPN about Rex Grossman, Lovie Smith, and Peyton Manning. I am sick of every analyst's opinion being repeated over and over and over. (For the record, Urlacher is the BEST middle linebacker in Bears history....he can cover, rush, and generally intimidate everyone he faces....especially that little prick Reggie Bush. If it wasn't for Deuce, they Saints would not even have 5 wins this season).

The Super Bowl is the best and most exciting event in sports. Even non-football fans enjoy it. So let's cut through this week, close our eyes, and before we know it, it will be time for kickoff, saying goodbye to yet another football season. We can soak in the hyped-up-but-not-very-funny commercials, the overblown announcers, and abysmal halftime show. It is all worth it, but I don't want to suffer through another week of boring sports coverage. After Sunday night, wake me when it's Opening Day...I'll be asleep.


In other thoughts, I honestly hope that the Devil Rays start to win soon. It's sad seeing clips of their home games, and about 300 people in the stands.

For today's list, I am going to choose the most bad-ass football players of the last 20 years:

• Bill Romanowski
• Lyle Alzado
• John Lynch
• John Randall
• Ray Lewis
• Mike Alstott
• Albert Haynesworth
• Mike Singletary
• Brian Moorman*
• Lawrence Taylor
• Lorenzo Neal
• Kyle Turley
• Mark Chmura

*punter...not really hardcore in the longrun, but still sweet as siiiiiin
