I've always admitted my shameful shortcomings. I never paint my face to match my team's uniforms. I've never painted a big letter on my chest and attended a game shirtless to inspire my team to greater heights. But, no matter. When it comes to the Super Bowl, I should be not only willing, but eager and all psyched up, and it should not matter much which teams are playing.
Championships are championships.
A true football fan doesn't even need a full-scale championship game to get his juices bubbling with gusto. Any old game will do. How do you think Monday Night Football has stayed on the air all these years when so many of its games have been almost as meaningless as your average appendix or soccer match. Because it doesn't matter to a football fan. If football is on TV, football fans watch.
