Nothing Left to Say

I'm a little pissed at myself today. My plan was to go to the sportsbook after work this morning and pick up a list of prop bets for the Super Bowl. Then I was going to make my picks on all of them here on the blog and see how I did come Monday morning. Of course I was so tired that I completely forgot to do it. I was on the 'Converse string' last night--dealing nothing but $5 shoes for the first six hours.

If I remember to pick one up tonight, and get up in time tomorrow, I'll write it up then, but no promises. In the meantime, the last line I saw was the Steelers giving 4.5 points.

And that's my pick for the game: Steelers -4.5

Anyhow, when I got home early this morning, I turned on the NFL Network just to see if there was any bit of hype left unsaid about the upcoming game. And then I witnessed the interview that topped the all-time Unintentional Comedy scale.

Imagine, if you will, Rich Eisen talking to Keith Richards about the Super Bowl. Truly the folks at the NFL Network had run out of people in Detroit to interview. It was like watching somebody from Meet the Press interview the campus stoner about farm subsidies. I was too stunned to even think to Tivo it. Otherwise it would've gotten immediate 'Save Until I Erase' status.

And who says there's nothing good on TV?
