Here is your pre-Super Bowl treat

New Orleans Saints helmet

WHO DAT!

Happy Super Bowl-mas to all and sundry!

My roasted habanero-pineapple salsa is chilling in the fridge and I’ve got a six-pack of Wolaver’s coffee porter alongside it. Shortly we will venture off to the subway to head to a friend’s place in my old neighborhood to watch the Super Bowl!

I am rooting for the New Orleans Saints. If the ‘Aints can win the Super Bowl, the Chicago Cubs can win a World Series some day!

And as a Chicago Bears fan, I am statutorily required to root against Peyton Manning and his Indianapolis Colts, especially after they whacked our monsters of the midway in the ‘06 Super Bowl.

As proof that I’m not rooting for the obvious loser, here is Kotaku reporting that with the Electronic Arts Madden NFL video game test, the Saints beat the Colts 35-31. I like those odds! Who needs Vegas!?

But the real treat is Rocketboom’s Molly, who in explaining her “I’m not from around here” view of the Super Bowl, shows more about how the current generation of web-obsessed kids think and exist in this world than anything else I’ve seen in a long time.

Happy Super Bowl viewing everybody!

    Happy Super Bowl to you as well. I am however rooting for the Colts. I have nothing against the Chicago Cubs so I suppose we can take common ground there. Cheers!

    About Me

    I'm waiting for the day when I can get the news directly into my brain. Until then, I'll be lit up by the electric glow of screens, chasing the latest breaking like the hopeless news junkie I am. Ever since the Encyclopaedia Britannica tried to launch a web portal ten years ago, I've seen many ends of the online news spectrum, from my time as a political news reporter for both RawStory.com and the Huffington Post to the better part of a year I spent running the late New York Sun's website. There have been a lot of other stops in between. Now I am your homepage editorial overlord. But I haven't let it go to my head. Yet.
