I think I'm un-American or something because I'm really not that excited about tonight's Super Bowl game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints (I think it's because I wanted it to be the Minnesota Vikings vs. the New York Jets), but knowing me I'll still watch it, or at least most of it.
As always, I'm going to be cheering for the Saints because they are the underdogs (the same reason I rooted for the Cardinals last year), and it'd be nice to see New Orleans celebrate a Super Bowl victory after everything the city has been through.
I do hope it's at least a competitive game, on par with last year's because blow-outs are never fun to watch.
UPDATE:
So far, the game has only been OK, but I am glad that the Saints are playing like the scrappy underdogs that they are. I hope they can hold on...
UPDATE 2:
Geaux Saints! It's going to be a crazy night in the French Quarter tonight!

My Super Blog XLIII
I missed the first half of Super Bowl XLIII, but apparently it wasn't all that important. Fortunately, I did get to see the greatest play in Super Bowl history (the James Harrison INT/TD), and that's when the game became interesting.
Now, I was pulling for the Arizona Cardinals, and some may claim that I am not a true fan, but I've been a quiet supporter of them for some years now (around the time Emmitt Smith became a Cardinal), so my heart was broken slightly once the Pittsburgh Steelers re-took the lead.
At the end of the night, Super Bowl XLIII was one of the best championship games I've seen in a long time (although Super Bowl XXXIV - St. Louis/Tennessee was pretty good too), and Ben Roethlisberger and Larry Fitzgerald solidified themselves as the future of the NFL. Seriously, how cluth are those guys?
Sure, I wish the outcome was a little bit different, and I didn't care for all of the calls/no-calls made by the refs, but it was a pretty amazing game.
Other than the 2nd half, Super Bowl weekend was uneventful. I'm over watching the commericals, and I stopped paying attention to The Office, so my evening ended fairly early.
