Here's an article I wrote regarding a serious man crush on Jets rookie quarterback, Mark Sanchize.
If you are an NFL fan, you know the drill: Super Bowl Sunday is for big occasions with casual observers, Championship Sunday is a culmination for the fans. The two host cities are at fever pitch, it's the last Sunday that feels like the season (cold, stoic, tense) versus a Disney movie complete with aged rockers faking it.
Thus far, it's been a pain projecting postseason winners. The Chargers close the year on an 11-game winning streak, Jets win when Chargers kicker, Nate Kaeding, previously the most accurate kicker in 90 years of pro football, misses five field goals. Vegas gets inundated with hungry gamblers ready to pounce on the Packers and Cowboys, weekly sure things end in heartbreak for their sympathizers. New Orleans and Indianapolis flounder to their respective conference's top seeds, they roar in home openers and crush trendy opponents.
The New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts are the home favorites Sunday. They don't play defense nearly as well as the visiting teams. The Jets and Colts have history and history loves an underdog Jets team when it matters against the Colts. The Vikings trounced the Cowboys last week (fuck), the Cowboys trounced the Saints in December, transitive property loves the Vikes.
America basically wants to see the Colts play the Saints. ATG does too. We love New Orleans. We put on for New Orleans. The Colts are likeable and luxurious, but mainly we'd love to see a shootout Super Bowl versus a horrid, 2000 Ravens-recalling grind game of inches, blitzes, Kerry Collins. What America wants (Kobe-LeBron in the NBA Finals, a college football playoff, universal healthcare) it seldom gets. I'd never bet money on both the Colts and Saints, and in fact recent weeks favor a Vikings-Jets Super Bowl because both teams hold favorable defensive matchups, but I will stubbornly stand with my heart on a mid-major blog:
Saints, 31
Vikings, 23
Colts, 24
Jets, 15

well...I agree but could you clarify a little bit extra what you say in the second paragraph?
Drew, my spouse and I met you in June during Tom’s gathering - just wanted tell you, today would have been my father's 90th special birthday, but he died in 2003, he used to be a devoted Saints ticket holder from 1967 until 2002 and I know he is smiling down on you currently. My partner and I simply wanted to thank you.
