I didn’t expect the Bears to win, though sure it would’ve been great. What a start! But then an exciting game in the first half turned to blah in the second. The worst part, however, was post game. Why did Peyton Manning win MVP? There’s a sympathy vote if I’ve ever seen one, for what has been one of the better choke artists of the last few years of NFL playoffs. Give it to Rhodes, he did more for the Colts than Manning by a mile. To top it off, what’s with the “god” speeches? I respect Dungy as much as the next guy, but there’s nothing more irking than a god speech. To be fair, the owner and his Magnum P.I. mustache were even worse with the ‘almighty’.
Oh well, congratulations to the Colts, and for the most part, good season to the Bears. It’ll suck if the coaching staff gets torn apart by Rivera and gang going after head coaching jobs, even though they deserve it. With football now done until next fall, hopefully the NHL will get a little more interesting until the MLS starts up. Nothing else interesting in American sports until fall rolls back around.
