Humor Bowl: Everyone Forgets About Tom Brady

February 3rd is still 11 days away and already it feels like the Super Bowl has been over-hyped.  But to be honest, the thing I love most about it is the crowd of columnists, sportscasters, and "analysts," all jumping on the Giants bandwagon.  

It seems as though every single day I pick up the newspaper and read a glowing endorsement of Eli Manning as a big time performer written by someone who had previously bashed his ability to execute in clutch situations.  I have to hear about his "special" connection with new tight end Aaron Voss, and how Plaxico and Eli bring out the best in each other.  I have to read about how even though Lawrence Tynes missed two field goals that a 3rd grader with ADD could have made, he really came through when it counted.  

It seriously seems as though a majority of sports enthusiasts have forgotten just who New York will be up against a week from Sunday: TOM BRADY!!!  

Forget his teammates, coaches, and everyone else involved in Patriots organization, and think about the fact that the quarterback matchup in this year's Super Bowl is Eli Manning vs. Tom Brady.  Are people forgetting that Tom Brady just finished the greatest regular season in the history of the NFL?  Are people forgetting that when women swoon upon marveling at his good looks?  Have you ever seen Tom Brady walk into a football stadium?  

The man is just not going to lose, plain and simple.  

I don't even want to mention the mental edge that Brady holds over Manning.  Seriously, think about this one:  You have the Eli Manning "Aww shucks" personality, versus the "I am extremely good looking, I am dating a supermodel, I am the greatest quarterback to play the game, and every man in America wishes he were me" personality.  I'll give you one guess as to who will have the edge in this game.  

And don't give me the "Well, Brett Favre was supposed to be the superior quarterback last week and Eli outplayed him" malarkey.  Brett Favre is 38 years old.  Plain and simple, a 38-year-old man trying to play 60 minutes of football in -30 degree weather is just not going to fair too well.  

Tom Brady is at a completely different place in his life and career.   He is at the top of his game, and walks with a bravado heretofore never seen in the NFL.  He is going to dominate this game, dominate the post-game interview, go home, nail his uber-hot Brazilian supermodel girlfriend, and then go to sleep.  

This game is not going to be close.  I would much rather dedicate the next 11 days of pointless build-up to the fact that there are only 22 days until pitchers and catchers report.  Now there's something worth talking about.
