Slobberknocker for the Ages

There are reasons why painters paint, why poets write, why sailors sail. This weekend at 6:30 pm EST the reasons why sportswriters do the things they do will be on display.

The Baltimore Ravens will head into Pittsburgh to battle the Steelers for the right to represent the AFC in the Superbowl. These two teams, the two attitudes, the two BEST defenses in the NFL is what is going to turn a great match up into one that they will talk about for decades.

These match ups are rare and sometimes disapointing. You expect the game to be one to remember, and tell your grandchildren about but they someitmes become blowouts or just a sloppy game filled with bad plays or too much involvement by the referees.

Tomorrow wil hopefully be remembered for all the right reasons.
