Superbowl XLI

We've all been hearing that when good friends Lovie Smith and Tony Dungee bring their teams onto the field this Sunday, history will be made as they are the first two African-American coaches to get to the Superbowl. I feel a duty to make sure the public knows that these guys are neither Boers nor Egyptians; they are also the first black men to coach teams to the Superbowl! That means that one of them will become the first African-American coach who is also black to win it all! What's cooler than that is the game is in February, and February is Black History Month!

Most people agree that these men are great role models for black youth. If Dr. King's dream were reality, we'd agree that these men are great role models for us all. One day, maybe, we as a society will recognize that character is more important than the color of one's skin. At least this glass ceiling has been shattered so we can get past skin color in the future.

Here are my picks for this game:

The first player to score: Robbie Gould
The first player to score a touchdown: Marvin Harrison
Over or under 49 points: Over
Final score: Colts 28 - Bears 31
MVP: Devin Hester

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for you using my predictions for gambling. In fact, I'd think you were an idiot if you did.

On second thought, I guess it really doesn't matter; I think you're an idiot anyway.

That's my take.

ed. note: Zero for five. If you count my guess that you're an idiot, though, I was one for six.
