Choices, Choices

Not sure who you want to win Super Bowl XLI? The NFL has a nice little Flash site setup to take the thinking out of it. Answer simple questions and they'll tell you who you subliminally want to win. Join the bandwagon.

I took the quiz and as it turns out, the NFL site told me what I already knew. I want the Indianapolis Colts to win. Here's my rationale:

1) The Colts are old skool AFC (and they're not the Chiefs, Steelers or Broncos)

2) Payton Manning doesn't deserve all the crap he takes for not winning the big one. Imagine that guy in silver & black.

3) Tony Dungy got the shaft in Tampa, even though he was the one that built that defense. Gruden took all the credit, but it was Dungy's defense that knocked off the Raiders in SB XXXVII.

4) Rex Grossman winning a Super Bowl would be like Trent Dilfer winning a Super Bowl. He doesn't deserve to be there in the first place. His defensive counterparts carried him to the big game. In his defense, he didn;t cheat his way into the game like Tony Saraguse did with that cheap shot in 2002.

5) More power to smaller market teams. One of these days, the NFL will realize that football fans want more exposure to good teams, not teams that are based in one of the top five television markets in the country. Indianapolis is a better all around team, and they'll prove it come the Sunday after next.
