Carlos Rogers's hands are so bad it's amazing he can feed himself.
A record 106.5 million people, watched the game last weekend, according to Nielson media.
The figure tops the 1983 finale of medical drama M*A*S*H which drew 105.97 million viewers.
So, how could a newpaper, a media outlet, embarrasingly enough here in Virginia, print the wrong score?
For most Super Bowl Revenue Generated.
That is my prediction.
The Colts will ultimately prevail winning the actual game. After all, they have proven more than once that they only need 15 minutes to beat anybody.
I give the Saints 30 minutes of life. Tops.
The Colts, just like Gilbert Arenas, have too many weapons...
And the biggest and best is Peyton.
But, with all the hype I've seen and heard on the Internet about "Who Dat" and rights, and royalty, and Money, I believe that the Saints fans alone will solely responsible for setting a new revenue record.
The record for "Ad Revenue" (selling advertising slots) is approximately $206 million. Judging by the fact that the networks have had to lower their prices this year, I doubt that will happen.
However, I believe, the $125 million merchandise record is in jeopardy. You see, its not just the "Super Bowl" label, it is the aints New Orleans Saints going to the Super Bowl. Now we are not only talking, and buying, super bowl memorabilia, we are buying collector items.
A quick look on Ebay (EBAY)for "New Orleans Saints" produces over 20,000 items.
Amazon (AMZN) had nearly 14,000.
And this of course does not take count all the official NFL stores, and pop-up merchandise stands now populating the great state of Florida.
Who knows when this will happen again.
So enjoy it, buy the collector items now before the Super Bowl, because they will not be worth quite as much this coming Monday morning.
But hey, I've been wrong before, and if by some miraculous chance the Saints do pull this off, the prices and sales will go through the roof and all you true Saints fans better keep an extra collector item or two safely sealed inside the original wrapping.
But most importantly, turn on the game and enjoy the entertainment. If anybody can give the Colts and Peyton a run for their money, it is the defensive genius of Gregg Williams.
And don't worry about the game being a dud, we all know that the super bowl brings out some of the more creative ads from various companies such as these two finalist clips from Doritos. So grab your drinks, food, and even some good friends, turn on the TV this Super Bowl Sunday and Enjoy!
I know I will be watching.
Yes folks, there is life outside of football. For all of you misguided football fans out there who are going to have your dreams crushed today, I present to you the world greatest hobby. Saturday (I would not miss football Sunday) the boys and I went to a trade show for model trains, cars and yes, even airplanes. Though the feature was clearly model trains. 
William is actually looking at the subway section of one of the larger displays.
If you are interested, this is the longer version of video taken by us at the show...
Afterwards, we purchased some great yet inexpensive toys to commemorate our outing.
We do not have a model train set that we can set up (not for lack of interest, but rather lack of space) so we purchased something else more immediately useful...
(ignore the short attention span neighbor kid talking about dinosaurs)
Good luck to all the NFL playoff football teams and fans playing today and remember...
There is life outside of football so take time to enjoy it.
Until next time...
Be good. Do well. Have fun.
San Diego's December hot streaks, as they always do, end in January.
Maybe they just need some pro bowl caliber players...
Oh wait, they already have at least one...
The Jets believe in Destiny.
Isn't it ironic that the team the colts fell down to at the end of the regular season and basically allowed entry into the playoffs is now their opponent for the conference championship.
No worries though. Indy has shown, more than once that they only need about 15 minutes of football to beat just about anybody.
Apparently this fan did not get the uniformity memo.
Something tells me that this is not a Dan Snyder franchise or stadium event....
Hmmmm....
The Saints Smothered the Cardinals.
Fantasy Football fans everywhere are pulling their hair out wondering why Reggie Bush couldn't play like that during the regular season.
If he keeps attacking the line and lanes like that, he just might be a worthy fantasy pick next year.
And it only took Brees 3 quarters of real QB playing time to achieve what most QB only dream about.
He basically just handed the ball off during most of the 4th quarter...
And the Vikings (always the Fashion Divas)
spanked the Cowboys (who also end tend to end winning streaks in winter)
My prediction for the winners this weekend....
Colts and Saints.
Sorry Sam.
OK, So lets jump ahead a bit from my last post...
The money has been raised, a coalition of power hungry politicians and corporate personnel have banded together in my grass roots campaign and bought controlling interest in the Redskins.
Now, who would I hire?...
That is easy, I would look to some young innovative subject matter experts who knows how to build winning football teams. I'd search for a GM/VP/God of football operations to take the reigns of the organization.
Here, imitation is the best form of flattery. And no, I am not necessarily talking about past historical success stories of the west coast offense.
I look towards current success stories.
Like ...
Chris Polian of the Colts...
or
Eric DeCosta of the Ravens...
or
Mark Ross of the Giants...
or
Rick Spielman of the Vikings...
One of those would sign up for the role once it was guaranteed that Snyder would not have controlling, meddling interest is day to day and personnel decisions.
