Here is just one of the articles that I've come across.

In 15 minutes, the Cowboys at the Falcons.
I have never liked the Cowboys.  I am not a fan of Texan stuff.  Come on the Falcons.

I've never liked the Cowgirls either, my brother and father are big fans. Having just moved to Atlanta I'll join you in saying, Come on Falcons!

The Falcons won 13 - 19.  The first two quarters were a wee bit slow, but the whole game was a cracker.  My favorites, THE GREEN BAY PACKERS have won two in a row, against the Jaguars and the Cardinals.  Next game is against the Detroit Lions.
Superbowl here we come (again).

Tonight (or this morning here in the UK) it's Monday Night Football (even though it's Tuesday morning) with the Philly Eagles against the New Orleans Saints.  Given that the Eagles share a city with the great Philadelphia Orchestra, I support the Eagles for this one.
And so would Stokowski and Ormandy if they were still around.

I had to comment on it.  First Quarter, the Eagles are on 2nd and Goal.  Yes, 2nd and goal, just a hop and a jump from the first touchdown.  BUT they muck it up and an interception return of 99 yards gets New Orleans a touchdown instead.  Amazing.  You just never know what's going to happen in this game.

EDIT:  The Eagles were beaten quite soundly 13 - 28.  The way they played, I am surprised they have won a game at all this year.

Looks as if SF will be 6 for 6.

Well, Denver and New England both underestimated....     Looks to me like talent v mojo.

If my missing friend John was here, he would undoubtedly have given the nod to SF, simply because they knocked off his beloved Packers..... 

[classicalgeek]

Well, as both of my favorite teams (the Patriots since I grew up in NH, and the Seahawks since I've lived in WA for 14 years now) have already made their playoff exits, I'm not terribly interested in who wins this year's game.  I suppose I'll pull for the Ravens, since San Fran has already won five Super Bowls to Baltimore's one!

[Brahmsian]

I'll be happy regardless of who wins (even though SF knocked off my beloved Packers)

The Harbaugh Bowl!

I might actually be interested if the Jaguars made it to the Superbowl, but it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon.

J-E-T-S  JETS! JETS! JETS!

Yep, they were great in '68, and mighty fine at the start of '69.

Have any city's MLB & NFL franchises won a "world title" in the same season before? Or will the Niners' win Sunday next be the first time?

Looked it up, great question...

Whilst a Webern oboe makes strange pathways into the delicacy of my consciousness, I have time to say that IT IS SUPERBOWL NIGHT! My beloved Green Bay Packers didn't get past the 49'ers to make it there, so I hope with all my feeble might that THE BALTIMORE RAVENS kick the 49'ers's 5 and 0 Superbowl record into the dustbowl, and utterly destroy them.
Come on the Ravens!

[Brahmsian]

Yes, one of these teams will be 'World Champions'.

I agree with the silliness of that.  Don't know about these days, but the Baseball used to be called the World Series - but only American teams played in it!  No wonder Baseball didn't catch on throughout the World, although I understand it is big in Japan.  We had an 'American Football' team here in Glasgow called the "Scottish Claymores" - they were a good, strong team in the European league, and I even went to see them play Dusseldorf's Rhinefire.  But they went bust around 2004, and so did Rhinefire, and the whole thing went to pot.
