A Couple Quick NFL Thoughts from the SDSG & A New Sheriff Comes To Town Tomorrow

Well, the Eagles made a game of it in the second half but couldn't stop the Cardinals when it mattered most in the 4th quarter. As a result, my least favorite NFL coach, Andy Reid, will now have an opportunity to grow out his beard and stuff himself with donuts until the summer. Considering my feelings about Reid, I'm not really sure why I picked the Eagles to cover the spread yesterday. The Steelers did cover against the Ravens though and the SDSG is currently 6-4 vs. the spread in the playoffs (as well as 135-123-8 since the first week of the season)...I know at least three million people have said this already, but Mike Tomlin's resemblance to Omar Epps is absolutely uncanny. Tomlin has done a phenomenal job with the Steelers and I think Pittsburgh will beat the Cardinals by at least two touchdowns in the Super Bowl. The only other possible outcome is for Arizona to "shock the world" and win the game. If Kurt Warner can continue to avoid the costly turnovers that have plagued him on and off throughout his career then a victory is certainly within the realm of possibility. As it stands now though, I like the Steelers a lot at -6 1/2... Several months ago, SDSG favorite Scarlett Johansson said her heart belonged to Barack Obama and gave him a ringing endorsement. Barack is now set to take the reigns of the country tomorrow morning and we'll see if he can deliver the goods...
