SUPER!

Well I would be totally inept at this sports writing stuff if I didn't mention today's big game.  Football in America is the most watched sport, and this is it's biggest stage.  I chose not to do a whole week of coverage because I am sure ya'll are drowning in analysis.  Every channel it seems is showering us with insides and keys to the game, except of course Gol TV.  I do however have some opinions on the Super bowl.
The game tonight features the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.  The Cardinals have a great offense and a mediocre defense.  Arizona wide receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, is in the midst of having the greatest post season performance in history.  Not to mention Kurt Warner is having a lights out year.  With Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston as the other wide outs this offense is dynamic.  The two backs, Hightower, and the re-emergent James, share a light running load are peaking in the post season.  This offense is phenomenal but will have trouble moving the ball against the Steelers lock down defense.  In all of the hype of the Super Bowl it seems everyone has forgotten that this is the number one defense in the NFL.  The defensive player of the year, Harrison, and Troy Polamalu lead a defensive core that is proud and tough.  Ben Rothlisberger and the offense are not great but they always seem to get the job done.      This might be a good game.  I am picking the Cardinals because they are playing the best and I love the underdog.
Well that is it for my Super Bowl coverage.  I hope you all enjoy the football game and don't ignore the pageantry it is part of it.  IF your reading this in Deerfield come down to the bar we are having a big party.  Live like no one is watching, and if in case you were wondering Gol TV has been showing the Latin America's under 20 championships.  That's right I know everything.
