Just when you get used to hearing about Favre to Minnesota every day for three months, they change it to Michael "Dog Killer" Vick, who is going to go anywhere from Dallas to Frisco to Miami to Green Bay...where, of course, we get to hear about his competition with Favre when the pack takes on the Vikes.

I'm not rooting for either one.

Vick in Dallas? What the heck. They no longer have TO to distract them. But this is the Cowboys we're talking about, and back in the day the Pokes always had a QB controversy. Does anyone here remember Staubach vs. Craig Morton? Meredith vs. Morton? So who do you like, Romo or Vick? Both are overrated IMHO.

Frisco? They already have two QBs that no one ever heard of, so why not? Miami? They already have Pat White to do the Wildcat.

Steelers, maybe. After all, what if Big Ben really did do what Andrea McNulty said he did?

Who is the most overrated QB in the NFL now? (Who isn't Peyton Manning, that is...) If you said Tom Brady, guess what, you are correct. Now Brady is perhaps the best in the league, but the way the media says it you's think he was the Second Coming of Christ! That tom Brady was some kind of unbeatable football "god" and there is no way he won't put his team in the Super Bowl, just because the last time most of us saw him (outside the Super Bowl and the grip of Bernard Pollard) he really WAS a football "god"!

Alas, Brady really really is mortal. Sorry to bust your bubble, Pats fans. He ain't taking your team to the Super Bowl this year.

And who is the most underrated QB? It can only be Chad Pennington, who didn't even make ESPN's top 20 QBs!

Would you believe Kyle Orton, Trent Edwards, Matt Schaub (who has never played a whole season), Sage Rosenfels (what a joke! did you see him singlehandedly lose to the Colts last year?), Jake Delhomme, David Garrard, and Derek Anderson were rated above him?

Must be because New Yorkers, Jets fans, that is, didn't see him as the next Namath and most of the media is in New York...or, as some Fins fans believe, ESPN is filleed with Jets and Pats fans, such as Chris Berman, or whatshisname.

I mean, Sage Rosenfels? Kyle Orton? Heck they might as well say Dan Orlovsky is better!

Now I was thinking about a headline for this on the order of that old slogan during the OJ Simpson era: Miami has the oranges, but Buffalo has the 'Juice'!"

But I couldn't come up with anything quite so clever. Sorry about that. I'll just have to settle for the headline I used.

Now let's see: New England has Randy Moss, who, because of Bellichick, who wouldn't put up with Moss's old prima donna behavior, isn't quite the locker room talk these days, but still...

Miami has Joey Porter, who isn't a prima donna but a loudmouth. In fact, the closest the Dolphins have to a prima donna is Paul Soliai, a backup Defensive Tackle who probably won't make the 2009 roster. Neither Parcells nor Sparano will tolerate these types...but then again, what if Jason Taylor comes back? But Soliai?? Yeah, I know, Bills fans...you've never heard of him.

The New York Jets, who let go of Laveranues Coles and saw Brett Favre retire, don't have prima donna players, but Rex "the Jets will win the Super Bowl this year!" Ryan just might qualify if his new Ravens-like defense doesn't take hold in New York.

Well, I know how you all have felt left out what with all those whoop-tee-doo signings by the Jets on defense, Miami shoring up its offensive line and secondary with big-money FA signings, and that Pats Matt Cassel trade to KC for a 34th pick. You can stop being jealous now, because...

You Have Just Signed the Biggest
Prima Donna currently in the NFL...
Maybe Ever!

Good Luck, Bills, with Terrell Owens! Good luck, Dick Jauron, trying to control his "distractions," and Good Luck Bills Fans, when "number 81" breaks your hearts!

Snorky has learned that someone in the NFL somewhere is talking about expansion. They'd almost have to bring in four more teams to make it work (or, 3 more teams, while dropping the Detroit Lions!)

I have a better idea. To heck with expansion, and in this economy...

So if the NFL wants to change things around, why not re-do the 2002 divisional realignment?

Let Snorky give them some suggestions...

Rex Ryan's comments during his first Press Conference as Head Coach of the New York Jets, pretty much saying he "guarantees" the Jets will make the playoffs or even the Super Bowl in 2009, sounds...well, his bragging reminds me of Joey Porter. Jets fans will certainly want his claim to compare with Joe Namath's Supe 3 guarantee. As for me, a Fins fan, I certainly hope his claim is "all hat, no cattle" or, simply, "prattle."

Truly, as I told Bolt in his picks post, as uninspired as he is, I am even more uninspired! In fact, I have never been MORE UNINSPIRED by NFC or AFC matchups, EVER!! And I will probably be EVEN LESS inspired as to who is playing in the Super Bowl!!!

In the late 80s and 90s we had no TV except what my husband's mother recorded off her Satellite feeds, and football was not on the menu. So I missed those awesone Niner teams, the Bills, the Cowboys turnaround, the Giants, Brett Favre in his glory, Elway, and the wonders of Dan Marino and the Marks Brothers. We finally got our own satellite dish in 1999, and, by then, football was pretty much out of my system until the 2002 Super Bowl won by the New England Patriots...which I thought was fitting, as the winning team was "the Patriots" and how that made sense what with 9-11.

I even forgot that year that as someone who had been a Dolphins fanatic (until I lost TV viewing), I was supposed to "hate" the Patriots!

Well, as Miami faltered and the Pats became the "dynasty" my "hatred" of the Pats resumed, and I have our son to thank for that because suddenly around 2004 or 2005 or so he started watching NFL games every fall Sunday. I had become interested enough in seeing just whom could foil the Brady bunch that I began this blog in late 2005 season. So that for me it became "I must pick the team that opposes the Patriots!" (Of course, in the 2006 Supe, it was I must pick the team that opposes the Steelers...my dislike of the Steelers goes back to the 70s when either Miami, Pittsburgh or Oakland ruled the NFL. And a year later it was Colts vs. Bears in the duel of black head coaches, and the better coach won. I had picked the Bears and their defense.)

And, despite my team going 1-15 last year, nothing could be finer than the hated undefeated Patriots LOSING the Super Bowl and NOT being called "the greatest team ever" (which my 1972 Fins still are), and losing to my dad's team, the Giants, at that!

So I could get on the anti-Steelers bandwagon this year, but what can I say. I no longer have this utter dislike for "the Curtain" and "Terrible Towel" and all that. I mean at some point you have to put the past behind you. I can still "hate" the Patriots but "hating" the Steelers is a bit much because while defense still rules this team liek it used to, let's face it their offense is not what it used to be with Bradshaw, Harris, Swann, Blier, and the rest. Big Ben does what he has to do behind a just slightly better than mediocre offensive line, and that is admirable and good enough for me. In other words, this is not "my nurse boss" Steelers.

In other words, since I don't "hate" the Steelers anymore, there is no one to root against, and sicne I don't really like the Ravens, Cards, ior Eagles, there is no one to root for. In other words, I couldn't  care less who plays in the Super Bowl.

However,...

Steelers over Ravens. Could go either way, but if Reed and Lewis and company (who, IMHO, needed an official's lack of call to beat the Titans) let Big Ben get any headway at all, the Steelers D should be just effective enough to bottle up Flacco and company just enough to let them win...just like the other two times these teams played this year.

Eagles over Cards. Because in the real world, Eagles would have it over Cardinals! I have no other reason for this pick. I really couldn't care less who wins this game. But I really think the Eagles would do better against the Steelers than the Cards would. Or the Ravens for that matter.
