?Super? Super Bowl?

Hmmm, I just finished watching the Super Bowl about an hour and a half ago.

While I am very happy that the Colts won, I am a bit torn about the game itself.

If you watched, you will find that it may have been the most lopsided Super Bowl in many a year. While the score looked close, the Colts basically kicked the holy crap out of the Bears. It was ugly.

Now, why was I rooting for the Colts, since I'm a Packers fan? Well, one, Tony Dungy. I lived in Indy for a few years during the start of the Tony Dungy era at Indianapolis. He is truly a man who understands what football is: a game. And on top of that, he is a gentlemen. While I think it's cool that he is the first black head coach to win the Super Bowl, I think it's even cooler that he says "I wasn't the first that had the talent to do it." He's humble and just an all around good guy. He's someone I would like to have as a coach, I think. And not just for that silly game the grown up boys play.

Two, Peyton Manning. Seriously, it's hard to find fault in the football player named Peyton. I'm sure there are faults in the human named Peyton, but as a football player, he's someone that you'd like all quarterbacks to emulate.

Three, Marvin Harrison. There's little known about this guy, because he's just not good in front of a microphone, so he typically pays the NFL imposed fines and turns down interviews. One of his comments on media day was "It's all the eyes that bother me." If that ain't me, I don't know what is...it's cool that someone who has that kind of talent overcomes those horrible feelings and still goes in front of "all the eyes" and shares said talent every week during the football season.

Four, all the other "good guys" on the Colts roster. You don't have a good team that has a cancer in the locker room (I can only think of the Terrell Owens - he's a great receiver, but I think he drags his teams down with his idiocy in the locker room and other places off the field). And they haven't shown that kind of crack in the veneer, so good for all of them, from the "lowly" janitors and receptionists to Ted Marchibroda.

Anyway, here's to the Indianapolis Colts and their wonderful season.

PS Thanks for beating up on the Bears for us Packer fans! :)
