Just When You Think You're Out of Withdrawal...

Yes, there is a football game tomorrow.

The Pittsburgh Steelers- out to be the first team to win six of these over-hyped national secular holiday games.

The Arizona Cardinals- once of St. Louis- are out to win their first. (Hey, this is the best they've done in 61 years!)

So, like a junkie faced with a table full of their favorite substance of use and abuse, I will find myself pulled, coerced, and finally joyfully watching the commercials game.

One would think my Pennsylvania roots would be favoring the Steelers but two things go against that. First, they are not the underdogs and I tend to be an underdog fan. (The Packers being an exception to that. Sort of.)

And second, my Pennsylvania roots are with the Philadelphia Eagles (see what I mean about underdogs?) and an old Eagles fan would find it very difficult to root for those meanies from the west.

So it is the underdog in their first Super Bowl that I hope to see win.

But let's be honest, it also helps this game to have Springsteen at half-time.
