Gonna Have a Wild Weekend, Part II

                The first Super Bowl was played around my birthday in mid-January; that’s why I remember the hype beginning.  You mean there is something of more importance in mid-January than the festival surrounding my birth?  No Way!
                Now, it’s Super Bowl XLVII (that’s 47 for those who have forgotten Roman Numerals).  Does anyone know a sane individual who has purchased a room for 4 nights in the French Quarter, Super Seats, credentials, Bourbon-Street Bowl favors, plus credentials and lanyards for a mere $5900+ per person, double occupancy. We will simply entertain ourselves for free with Jane’s prognostication as to the winner, with no deference whatsoever to the Las Vegas line or which coaching brother is better looking.
              I have experience with brotherly conflict, but I don’t know which of the Harbaugh brothers coaches which team.  Isn’t it just crazy that Jim vs John makes the Super Bowl coaching battle Brother vs. Brother.  Reminiscent of the Mario Brothers, The Wright Brothers, Civil War and Marvin vs Garvin or even Peyton vs Eli, the Super Bowl reminds us that brothers are meant to fight. Think: Bible.
               Even leaving the Bible out of it, the clear choice for a winner is “San Francisco ‘49’ers.” Without hesitation, the “49’ers” are my favorite because that’s the year I was born (not 1849).  Second – the “49’ers” were seeking gold in California and I like gold, a lot. Then, there is the Joe Montana factor, not to be underestimated. “49’ers” 3; “Ravens” 0.
                The Ravens, such dark and dirty birds, don’t get any points for “team name.” Also, the players will not be rested as they have been kept awake, pondering weak and weary upon forgotten lore at midnight.  Without too much trouble, I can predict that “Never” will be the outcome for this team, based in EA Poe’s hometown of Baltimore. Major players may be found wandering the Bourbon Street alleyways seeking Edgar and his lost love Lenore.  That makes it “49’ers” 3 – “Ravens” minus-3.
                 “The Blind Side” is history.  Points for players whose home is Collierville, TN, or somewhere in Arkansas, or owners who have roots in Little Rock, or how many on each team once played for the SEC equal out for the teams.

                   So, my line is this:  “The 49’ers” by 6…and, that’ll do as well as any.  Enjoy your weekend! I’ll be wearing red and gold, recovering from groundhog meat loaf.
