After watching the New York Giants come away from Indianapolis clutching the coveted Lombardi Trophy I had to ask myself, was this team really deserving of being the best in the land? Sure I realize that they had to win three playoff games, two of which on the road against (supposedly) better opponents. I also […]
Yes, Super Bowl commercials have become such a big part of the Super Bowl that they now demand their own posts and columns.
