Today’s Super Bowl Sunday. The Big Game. The Grand Finale.
While kickoff isn’t scheduled to occur until 6:25 PM ET tonight, the Wire has been heavy with Super Bowl coverage and analysis over the last couple of weeks. From score predictions, to player, team, and coach analysis, to Super Bowl recipes.
Of course, no on really knows who’s going to win or how many touchdowns Drew Brees will throw. (Though, I think he’ll have 4!) They’re all big if’s, but it’s still fun to discuss and debate.
Even still, much of the coverage I’ve read (just tuned in yesterday) is general interest stuff or makes me think people have a lot of money riding on certain outcomes.
But I’ve managed to find several — at least somewhat interesting reads — through all of the static.
