Ready for some football....ah, nope

I just haven't been able to get excited about the Super Bowl yet. Maybe it's because the last few have been great games, maybe it's because the last few have had better pregame hype, but this one just feels so...bland.

The few angles that get trotted out get beaten to death. Heck, even making fun of beating the storylines themselves is getting....beaten to death. A two week layoff instead of one week doesn't help either.

As for the game itself, I still can't take the Seahawks....Matt Hasselbeck in a big game is still, to me, a scary proposition. With the Steelers being on the roll they were on, it's hard to pick against them. Steelers 27, Seahawks 13, in a game more interesting for the commercials than the play on the field.

Most boring Superbowl matchup ever.

It might turn out to be a good game, but . . . the Seatttle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Joy.

Well, at least I got the spread right. 27-13 isn't too far from 21-10.
