The Silence of the (St. Louis) Rams

Where we were for the glorious road to Superbowl XXXVI

We were on a cruise ship, watching the "snowbowl" and in Key West Florida  (Scroll to the bottom of the page to read the Football stuff) for the AFC Championship game - all the local coverage we missed, made up for only with vapid USA Today coverage.  

I've now watched the NFL Films DVD several times, and each time I watch Adam Vinatieri's kick, I still get goose bumps.  

Harkening back to the old film of the New York Giants winning the National League pennant: "And...it...is...GOOD!  It's good!  It's good!  Adam Vinatieri booms a 48-yard field goal and the game is over and the Patriots are Superbowl Champions!  The Patriots are Superbowl Champions!  The best team in the National Football League!"

"New England, you have the best football team in the world right now."  


Some P redictions on Superbowl XXXVI:

"This baby has rip job written all over it.  The Rams are a 14-point favorite and might as well be favored by 40.  So how do the Rams NOT win this track meet by many many touchdowns?  Easy answer.  There is no way, or at least not by any calculations I've seen."

"I've worked the French Quarter like a 1950's gumshoe searching for a clue in an unpreventable crime.  I've asked around in Cajun joints and hurricane bars, bead stores and voodoo shops.  Anyone know any way the Patriots can beat the Rams?  I don't have a clue.  A Super Bowl week of burning the midnight oil has made me feel even more confident in my original prediction:  St. Louis 40-17."

-Skip Bayless, San Jose Mercury News

"The Super Bowl might be over before the first Budweiser frog croaks.  My final score forecast:  Rams 107, Patriots 7.  If you're going to make a bold prediction, make a bold prediction.  Now, if we could only get some boldness into the AFC side of he equation by kickoff.  Tuning into the Super Bowl and finding out the Patriots are playing is like tuning into Jay Leno and finding out that one of the guests is Richard Simmons."

-Mark Purdy, San Jose Mercury News, mpurdy@sjmercury.com

"Everything in life should be this easy.  Losing love handles, mastering the stock market, getting kids to clean their rooms.  This is the easiest call since Germany-France.  It's the St. Louis Rams in a walk.  Rams in a laugher.  The funniest thing since "Glitter."  You'd better hope those commercials are clever.  Better be enamored by overproduced halftime shows.  ecause it'll be over before Bono warms up.  New England is about to close in on Buffalo in Super Bowl infamy.  This is the Patriots third visit to the Super Bowl, and we smell consistency.  They lost their first two games, 46-10 and 35-21."
