Blue and White Debate
Blue and the WhiteBy Sam Bryner
Who will win the Super Bowl?
Peyton Manning and the Colts will finally win a Super Bowl Sunday against the Chicago Bears. I believe that one of the major reasons they will win is because of the play of Rex Grossman. He will come out and choke, and no amount of good Bears defense will help their offense out.
Are you sad about Barbaro’s death?
Absolutely not, in fact one part of me is almost happy that the horse is dead. He won one event in the triple crown and that was it. I could see making a big deal if he won the triple crown, but he didn’t. In fact a lot of positive will come from this. For one, the horse is now pain free and two, Sportscenter can get back to its regularly scheduled news: T.O. and steroids in baseball.
Is fan voting for the NBA all-star game a good thing?
All-star weekend is designed for the fans. It is meant strictly for entertainment, so I think the fans should have a say in who plays. I would much rather see flashy dunks and showboating during the all-star game. The players that really are the best at basketball can represent us in the Olympics.
What is your favorite past Super Bowl commercial?
This is hard, but I love the one where it talks about the running of the cats. Anyone can run away from a bunch of sissy bulls. But a real man out runs a ravenous herd of stray cats and has scratches to prove it.
Ultimate Super Bowl party food?
The one thing that is an absolute must for a Super Bowl party is meat. It can come in any shape or form. I prefer a big juicy steak cooked medium-well after being marinated for at least 24 hours. The joy that comes into my life as I bite into a perfectly cooked tender steak during a football game quite possibly could be the greatest feeling ever.

Super Bowl Pick The Bears will win Super Bowl XLI. Why? They are scarier than the Colts in every way. The mascot: Colts aren’t scary; some people probably think they’re cute. But only really stupid people think Bears are cute. Bears are efficient killing machines. Don’t cuddle with one. The players: Peyton Manning is uglier than scary. But Brian Urlacher is absolutely frightening – the mere sight of him causes spontaneous combustion.
Are you sad about Barbaro’s death? Of course I’m sad. I’m sad that I had to waste so many anxious, tear-filled nights wondering if Barbaro would pull through, just to have him euthanized. I hurt. I cried. I prayed. I set up a candlelight vigil in my bathroom, but it all went for naught. At least I know he’s in horsey heaven now.
Favorite past Super Bowl commercial I don’t know if I can pick a favorite. There have been so many great Bud Light ads. There was Terry Tate Office Linebacker. It’s hard to choose between office workers getting form tackled into a copy machine and anything beer-related. There is one thing that is clear – violence and drunkenness are in. Fan voting in all-star games Fans don’t need to vote for the all-star games. The general public is too busy voting on “American Idol” to take any real stock in who is deserving of playing in an all-star game. Just look at America’s voting record lately: America picked a 30-year-old, gray-haired dude as its idol and, well … we won’t get into politics.
Ultimate Super Bowl party food It’s beer – cold, frosty beer. If you drink enough beer you won’t need to eat anything else, because beer is calorie-rich. Drinking enough beer makes even the worst game so much more entertaining, because after a certain number of beers, you lose track of who you were routing for and where you’ve left your pants. But most of all, beer is good, and good for you. So give into the awesome advertising and have a cold one.
