Anyone still having trouble getting worked up about the Super Bowl? This almost has the feel of the college football National Championship. It’s been too damn long. When was the last time you saw Randy Moss score a touchdown? Like a month ago? Tom Brady practiced on his aching ankle. Junior Seau was a bust on Howard Stern Monday. There is no news. Fortunately, today is the shitshow known as media day, so something idiotic (and unimportant) will happen, and it’ll be written about as if Coach K were abducted by aliens.
First up on our Super Bowl docket: Before boarding the team flight to Phoenix, Plaxico Burress of the Giants was cornered at his car by a New York Post reporter. The lanky receiver predicted the Giants would defeat the Patriots 23-17. There’s your “news” for the day, folks. We sort of wish that the reporter had been armed with this nugget – in the last 10 games Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have played following a bye-week, the Patriots are 10-0 – to find out Plax’s take on the subject.

We still don’t have a prediction on the game, but a lot of the early money has been on the Giants.
