Have I mentioned how worthless I think Super Bowl Week is? It's even worse when the Bulls go on an amazing 5 game road winning streak against good Western Conference teams, and then lay 2 eggs against the Clippers and 76ers. Plus, just for good measure, the Blackhawks drop one at home to the hated St. Louis Blues, to give us back to back losses after an amazing OT win against San Jose last Thursday.Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk gave two similar takes on whether or not Martz and Cutler will fail or flourish. Both of them agree that it will come down to Cutler checking his ego in favor of Martz's, grasping the terminology and reads, but mainly that the offensive line will need to provide excellent blocking in order for it to succeed. Sounds familiar...David Haugh wants the Bears to install field turf at Soldier Field. There are currently 6 non-domed stadiums in the NFL that use Field Turf, or some synthetic turf as their playing surface, so it's not that unheard of. To install it for $1.5 million dollars just for a new Offensive Coordinator who may be gone after next season seems a bit short-sighted however...
There is one positive about Super Bowl week though. It reminds of the movie that launched the career of Jim Carrey into the Stratosphere, Ace Ventura : Pet Detective. That movie takes place during the week before the Super Bowl, coincidentally in Miami. Here's one of my favorite scenes from that movie. It still makes me laugh every time I see it. Enjoy!
