Here's my requisite football posting for Super Bowl weekend.

It would be fitting for this game to come down to the kickers, since both teams have some of the best clutch kickers in the football today. Plus, this would fit well with the whole "nobody in this game has enough star power to be marketed" problem that promoters are whining about.

I am rooting for Carolina for the sole reason that Tom Brady went to the State of the Union address. Partisan politics aside, you have a football game to prepare for! What the heck are you doing taking trips to Washington??

My only other partisan rant is that CBS is not airing moveon.org's ad, saying it was "too controversial." I'm not exactly sure what they find controversial -- surely it can't be the fact that it's a political ad, seeing that the White House has bought a spot. If the message is what's controversial (the message mainly being that Bush has passed along humongous debts and obligations to our children), how is that more controversial than the infamous anti-drug ads that said buying drugs supports terror??
