Mediocre Bowl

As a 30-something guy I feel like I have outgrown the idea of lumping myself into groups, finding that the application of labels does more to restrict personal growth than they do to define. I am who I am, but who I am today may be different than who I am tomorrow. That said, the one constant in my life has been my appreciation of professional sports. Yes, I am one of "those guys" who has more than one fantasy team, and isn't afraid to discuss it (assuming appropriateness). So, in all fairness I guess I am a sports geek, stat head, fantasy freak, or whatever... the label fits, and I'll wear it.

Having followed and revered pro sports as I have, and having watched this NFL season this year I have to ask, "What's so super about this championship game?" Week-in-week-out I sat on the couch watching game after game after game, and now that the season is all but wrapped up I can declare that this NFL season bored me. No team was good enough to become king of the hill, and every team played mistake ridden football. All-in-all it was an ugly year, and this game coming up in two weeks does little to convince me it will end any better.
