>>Of course the NFL has problems. The league needs to address them. But boycotting the Super Bowl? It's like a wreck on the highway -- you can't look away. Plus the ads are worth watching even if the game isn't.

It's an American institution. Maybe we should have more lofty institutions but this is ours.

Keep an eye on the Seattle secondary. They won't be on camera that often because nobody throws deep on them. They are poetry in motion. The temple of boom, my brother in law calls them. Which is a bit of a misnomer -- they can hit but are really the temple of speed. You go deep on them at your peril.

If Brady can solve them, all credit to him. I can't wait for this game.
