Yeah, the Super Bowl’s this weekend — as is my birthday — and what better way to start the weekend than revisiting the only story the media circus even bothered with this past week: Dwight Freeney’s ankle. According to Peter King’s Twitter, Freeney didn’t practice today, after much speculation otherwise. What does this mean? Who knows, however, if there’s not a Vegas betting line for whether or not Freeney plays, I’ll be impressed. As it is, I’m still expecting to see him for at least one down.

While a lot of people have been bitching about the focus on perhaps the most famous NFL ankle ever, it’s nice to see the media fixate on something that actually impacts the game instead of boring-ass special interest tripe.

Of course, considering just how much Freeney’s injury impacts the betting lines, among other things monetarily related, it’s shouldn’t be too surprising.

Other things of note:

More information about the Puppy Bowl, perhaps the best non-football form of Super Bowl entertainment out there, from a good friend of mine. If you are a fan, check it out.

OK. Who would win a Marvel versus DC Super Bowl?

Considering the teams, I’m going Marvel 2045, DC 2038.

My dark horse MVP is Spider-Man and his 145 catches for 2000 yards and 100 touchdowns. I’m sorry, but Peter Parker and his radioactive spider bite would absolutely destroy the DC secondary (Deathstroke the Terminator and The Gentleman Ghost at DB, Sinestro and Gorilla Grodd at the safety positions).

In fact, someone suggested they’d watch this over the NFL’s Super Bowl and I have to say, I’m inclined to agree.

For some reason, this captivated me:

Maybe it’s the reverberated “Sunday-ay-ay.” Say what you will, but I doubt VERY seriously your SB party is going to have such an awesome spread of food. Not even close. Although, you’ll probably have alcohol. We’ll call it a “push.”

And because we’re all about equal time, there’s this gem from the Raging Grannies, a group who are responding to the Tebow ad kerfuffle; an ad, mind you, that hasn’t even aired yet. Granted, their vitriol is aimed at CBS, but still, I’m already tired of it and again, it hasn’t even aired yet.

Good times. Now, for some eye-bleach:

As I was saying, equal time, and all that.

Now for the game: You’ve heard it all; the analysis, the breakdown, Freeney’s ankle, Peyton’s greatness, Drew Brees’ awesomeness, all of it. With that in mind, all week, I’ve been thinking the Colts and feeling the Saints. Head or heart? For this one, I think I’ll go with the heart:

Saints – 31
Colts – 28

MVP – Breesus. Drew Breesus.
