Super Bowl Pick
Steelers (-7) versus Arizona: Wake up, quick, it's the Super Bowl.
Talk about low-key, everything about this game seems toned down out of acknowledgement of the recession.
Beyond the economy, there's this subplot surrounding the game: What's to hate? A working class rich man, Bruce, will offer the halftime notes. Talk about a touch of class, Springsteen's tickets for his Tulsa concert start at only $57!
Fleetwood Mac, on the other hand, featuring somebody resembling Stevie Nicks' aunt, charges $150 for the ground floor.
The Steelers are a blue collar squad, more America's team that the silly Cowboys.
Arizona is a spirited underdog led by an older quarterback who loves his religion.
The game is on NBC and will be presented by the conservatively reliable team of Madden and Michaels.
Even some of the commercials are said to have been done with an eye toward the good of humanity.
Let's not get too soft, there are always the zebras and replay Magoos to stir up a scandal.
Please note, again, the classic style of quarterback represented here, running signal callers need not apply at the highest level.
This one comes down to the Steeler defense versus Zona's receivers, Fitzgerald, in particular. The football in his hands looks like a gnat going to flypaper.
Steelers by 4.
