OH, THINK TWICE...
IT'S JUST ANOTHER SUPER BOWL WITHOUT MY TEAM...
Yep, it's the Saturday before the Super Bowl. And since the title of this blog says "Sports and Bremertonians", well, I got your Super Bowl prediction column right here.
New England 30, Carolina 20
That's right, take the over. The over/under is 38 I think.
Now, this doesn't mean that both teams will be offensive juggernauts, because that's simply not going to happen.
Personally, it would make my entire weekend if Rod Smart, i.e. He Hate Me, runs a kickoff back for a touchdown and it was called back due to a block in the back. How funny would that be? As far as irony goes, the XFL debuted three years ago this Tuesday.
My best (worst) Vince McMahon impression:
THIS IS THE XXXXXXXXXXFFFFFFFFFFFFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Best part of the XFL was the damn shower scene commercial with Karen McDougal, IMO)
Anyways, back to the only pro football league that matters...
Expect Jake Delhomme to inherit the ghost of Neil O'Donnell. He won't be as bad as O'Donnell, because that's pretty hard to do. But expect 3 INTs, one returned for a touchdown by Mike Vrabel.
Tom Brady is not Joe Montana. Trust me, you will NEVER hear me say "Brady is Montana" here at Sports and B's. But he's certainly no Chris Chandler. Brady has been solid for the Patriots all year long, and there's a reason why the Pats have won 14 in a row.
So, since I'm bored with schoolwork, here's my Super Bowl XXXVIII boxscore:
1st Quarter
NE---Adam Vinatieri FG (3-0 Patriots)
CAR---Steve Smith TD (7-3 Panthers)
2nd Quarter
NE---Antowain Smith TD (10-7 Patriots)
CAR---Ricky Manning INT TD (14-10 Panthers)
NE---David Givens TD (17-14 Patriots)
Halftime
Janet Jackson blows everybody else off the stage (everybody meaning Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/B.I.G.'s beyotch, Nelly, and Kid Rock)
3rd Quarter
NE----Adam Vinatieri FG (20-14 Patriots)
CAR---John Kasay FG (20-17 Patriots)
4th Quarter
NE---Mike Vrabel INT TD (27-17 Patriots)
CAR---John Kasay FG (27-20 Panthers)
NE---Adam Vinatieri FG (30-20 Patriots)
Patriots 30, Panthers 20
Super Bowl XXXVIII MVP: Mike Vrabel, Patriots LB (9 tackles, 2 INT, 1 TD)
If Bill Simmons thinks that Houston is a bad city for the Super Bowl, just look at the next two seasons:
Super Bowl XXXIX, Alltel Stadium, Jacksonville
Super Bowl XL, Ford Field, Detroit
Jacksonville isn't much at all, but man I hope the Seahawks can win the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Jacksonville. Detroit is just a dump, plain and simple.
Oh yes, it will happen. The Seahawks will win Super Bowl XXXIX. Believe it.
