Super Bowl Party People

· To be on live radio, tune into Pigskin Bloggers Live at the NFL Fan Central Monday night at 7PM ET. It's an hour-long show, and your IMs (to DCSportsGuy) and phone calls (to 1-866-382-7469) are always a big part of it.

· Kudos to the winners of our first annual Pigskin Bloggers Awards... Best Blog: Sportz Assassin on Redskins, Most Loyal Blog: Seahawks Fans Anonymous and Best Trash-Talking Blog: The Belly Check.

· Watch a video of me saying hello. I'll get better at videoblogging. Swear.

Now, onto the show...

There's nothing left to say about Super Bowl XXXIX -- unless you're addicted to pigskin and blogging; which, sadly, we are. So listen to our SB predictions, imitations of Philly accents and CT's extensive bet book on this week's Pigskin Bloggers Live, and read on for bloggers afflicted w/ severe Super Bowlitis.

Sportz Assassin (winner of our Best Blog Award) gives his 10 keys for the game, including "The biggest misconception of Donovan McNabb is that he’s a running QB. He isn’t. He’s a scrambling QB. McNabb only ran the ball 41 times this season. Tom Brady actually ran 43 times... 2 more than McNabb... but for only 28 yards [McNabb had 220]. But, McNabb is mobile and able to buy a few extra seconds that could mean the difference in a receiver getting open or McNabb not taking a sack and tossing the ball away. Big Ben ran for 45 yards against this defense.... so there's potential for some big runs for Donovan if necessary."

Igglz Fans Booed Him on Draft Day

Belly Check (winner of the Best Trash-Talk Blog Award) says, "I truly know people who are already drinking to get 'ready' for it. More will join them this Friday evening. An unofficial holiday is settling over the region, and the wise people have already purchased their beer, food, tobacco, and whatever else they'll need... Look for TO to get hung out to dry by a high pass at one point, and look for Rodney to make him pay. I wouldn't be shocked if the People's Champ got Rock Bottomed by the man who brings the pain, either. This guy has crippled more men than polio... Doesn't Mrs. McNabb look a lot like Larry Johnson's Grandmama from the old Converse commercials? Trade the kicks forsome soup, and theywould be indistinguishable... To the New Englander players, Philly is just the next clown out of the car at the Dark Carnival. They are the wheat to be sown at the Savage Harvest."

Lions Den says, "I'm getting tired of hearing all of this garbage about Brady this and Brady that. McNabb is going to torch the Patriots secondary and the Eagles will win 35-14 and hoist the Lombardi Trophy. TO is going to have a monster game and it won't be close."

Packerz Zone says, "According to ESPN's 2K5 game on Xbox, the Pats will squeak out a win against the Eagles but not before both McNabb and Brady throw 5 picks each in the game. At one point I thought the Pats were going to run away with the game, but the Eagles defense played much better than on Madden. In fact, as a whole, ESPN's simulation played much more realistic than Madden. Pats 34-33."

Quick Slants breaks down Philly SB coverage.

Raiders Ramblings won't be watching the big game and says, "Hey NFL... get ready for a nice cup of 'Shut the Hell Up!' We'll be by to kick your ass next year, Raiders."

Lions Weekly says, "The holiest of holy days is upon us. This is going to be quite a game i think. Pats 34-31."

Football One-on-One says, "Bill Belichick is a master scheme headcoach and makes excellent adjustments during each game. Coordinators Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel are two of the best coordinators in the league and call an innovative, cutting edge offense and defense schemes. PATRIOTS WIN SUPERBOWL XXXIX by 10 POINTS!"

Patriot Nation says, "Belichick isn't just an excellent coach, he's a savant. Anyone who thinks he doesn't deserve a lion's share of the credit for the remarkable success of the Patriots is kidding themselves. Belichick's recent game plans have stymied record-breaking offenses (Indy) and exploited top-ranked defenses (Pittsburgh), while containing that dominant Steelers running game as well. He has undoubtedly devised something special -- no, something brilliant -- to throw at the Eagles, too. Pats by 14."

Mike Sports Daily says, "It will be the antithesis of last year’s game, with a fast start but a slow finish. It won’t end on a kick, but a late Patriot touchdown puts it away. Dillon doesn’t have a ton of yards, but does picks up a few touchdowns and the Super Bowl MVP. Pats 24-14."

So Happy to Be Out of Cincy

Pigskin Astrologer says, "Mcnabb's horoscope is on 'fire,' and should get the MVP, with 1 or 2 rushing TDs, and 2 or 3 passing TDs. Brady's Horoscope for health is way off, so I won't be surprised if he goes down with injury in the 1st Half, in which case the Eagles are a shoo in. Eagles 31-21."

Bucs Blog says, "This is the year of the Eagles! They'll win the Superbowl. The Eagles are head and shoulders above the rest of the NFL."

So many predictions, so many people dead wrong! All you Pats haters better learn to respect the best team in the NFL today. Like my niners of the 80's, this team is flat out the class of the NFL right now. Congratulations to the Patriots on their win over the Eagles. Sorry Philly fans, keep booing Santa and maybe one day your luck will change. NOT. Saw this one coming a mile away, as my previous prediction indicated a few days ago.
