Super Bowl Preview

Even more brilliant than my "the better looking candidate always wins the presidency and the better looking he is than the other guy dictates how much he'll win by" theory is my "the Super Bowl mascot that would win a battle between the two represents the team that always wins." Think about it.

Or don't. I didn't really think about it until this moment, so this totally might not be true. Although, last year it was the Steelers and the Seahawks and I think it's perfectly reasonable to think that a well-armed steel worker could maim a seahawk. And before that, the Patriots beat the Eagles and I think a Patriot with a musket could likely take out an Eagle (but, obviously, the legitimacy of the title of "patriot" would brought into extreme question, killing an Eagle and all).

So that brings up to this year's match-up. Who you got?

What about the red sox and the white sox?

The 49ers and the Steelers?

The lions and the tigers?

The hilltoppers and the .... well, nobody can beat the hilltoppers.

But the Tigers should have beat the Cardinals. Really, a ferocious beast against a stupid bird? Your theory just doesn't hold up.

I didn't say it carried over into baseball. Just football. Just the Super Bowl

And, really, it doesn't hold up there either -- or maybe it does. You be the judge (with some memorable match-ups):

Buccaneers over the Raiders
Ravens over the Giants
Rams over the Titans
Raiders over the Redskins (that's just uncomfortable)

And I'm not sure what a Bill is, but evidently everything beats it.

I think everything beats the dolphins. Those things can't fight.

The Dolphins did beat the Vikings once. Those poor confused, drunken Vikings -- they didn't know what was going on.
