Super Bowl Preview-Part I

Here in Chicago, we curse Al Gore for not being correct on Global Warming. Although we had a warm December, January is reminding the locals on why we should not break out the shorts and sandals until Memorial Day.

Now we are being teased with all the local news sport goofs appearing from warm Miami this week, with the game not until Sunday I guess they will be keeping tabs on how well the room service is for the team by Friday.

I was in Las Vegas last week and after I found I could not donate blood for money at the casino I wandered over to the sports book. There with all the flashing numbers and odds on NBA and NCAA games was the Super Bowl spread.

Colts (-7) o/u 49


The Bears will be getting 7 points. Wow. The betting gods are telling us that not only will the Bears lose they will get put out their misery like Barbaro did earlier today.

Our loss, Alpo's gain.

I disagree, of course, because the last offensive juggernaut the Bears played are now getting their beads clean for Mardi Gras and paying fines for defying NFL law and pissing off a great defense.

And I'm not sure Peyton Manning's thumb will be healed. He was hiding it last week from the media better than Gary Burghoff hid his hand disfigurement on "MASH" for all those years.

Bad hand equals bad loss.

I don't have the score for you yet, but I will post soon. And probably with more thoughts on the game and predict which sports news guy will get arrested for picking up transvestite prostitutes in Little Havana.
