That said, when you have one single game that is constantly played up for 2 full weeks and is the only sporting event for the month that really matters (with the NCAA tournament and the NBA regular season games don't matter, especially with all the series going to 7 games) 50% isn't that great.Mr. Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676914320866059234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778433057761571364.post-5155442863609169672010-01-26T16:31:40.187-05:002010-01-26T16:31:40.187-05:00February is probably the worst month for sports, b...February is probably the worst month for sports, but given how great the Super Bowl has been recently, it is harder to make that case. Also, every 4 years you have the Winter Olympics.<br /><br />2000 - Ravens/Giants - Terrible<br />2001 - Pats/Rams - Excellent <br />2002 - Bucs/Raiders - Terrible<br />2003 - Pats/Panthers - Excellent<br />2004 - Pats/Eagles - Excellent<br />2005 - Steelers/Seahawks - Terrible<br />2006 - Colts/Bears - Terrible<br />2007 - Giants/Pats - Excellent<br />2008 - Steelers/Cardinals - Excellent<br /><br />We seem to be due for a bad super bowl, but I can't see Colts/Saints being a blowout. If it is good, that would make 6/10 super bowls of the 00's worthwhile. Plus, for the second year in a row you have a team going to the Super Bowl that has never been before. Any bets on who is next? (Browns, Lions, Jaguars, Texans).Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833146469552845543noreply@blogger.com
