Can I skip the Super Bowl?

I'll be the first to say it: I'm not at all excited for the Super Bowl this year. The Super Bowl is the most important of all traditions for any football fan, and it pains me deeply to make a statement like that, but it's the truth. Outside of Boston and New York, I doubt I'm the only football fan with a similar disgusting feeling in their gut when the thought arises about the upcoming matchup for this year's big game: The New York Giants vs. The New England Patriots.

Bleh. 

#15's Shoe-Ins

Championship Sunday. For most football fans, it's right up there with Super Sunday. But for a Vikings fan like myself, the idea of championship Sunday makes me wake up in cold sweats thinking about haunting memories. And even though my team has never won a Super Bowl and went 3-13 this year, I still took incredible joy in watching the Pukers choke away a 15-1 season. With that in mind, I am incredibly excited for all the match ups this weekend. So, in the words of Sean Connery, "the game is on."
