The Carpet Bowl

Go Cards! While sports fans complain that tonight might be the most boring blowout Superbowl ever, and rumors fly that the Terrible Towel waivers down in Tampa outnumber the Cards' fans ten to one, I am busting open my piggy bank to put my money on the underdogs. Zona has a seasoned QB who can handle the Blitzburg pressure and some stellar wide receivers. They should put some points on the board so long as Warner wasn't up all night taking hits with Michael Phelps from the Olympic megabong and starts to confuse Troy Polamalu's curls with Larry Fitzgerald's dreadlocks... or a giant purple lizard.

The real x-factor tonight will be Big Ben's performance. To quote TSN.com's NFL editor, "Bruises tell stories", and Ben's been sacked by jacked defensive ends almost as many times as Kim Kardashian. The last time Ben faced the Cardinals he threw two interceptions and lost by a touchdown. Still, the kid's got an arm, and he keeps the play going. So pop the tray of mini hotdogs into the oven, break out of the first of too many Coors cans and let the game begin. Maybe the beat-up QB can pull a Rocky IV and make Warner look like the Russian.
