Super Blog XLVII

There are only five NFL teams that are still undefeated in Super Bowl appearances.  And two of them are playing today.  The last time they faced each other was last year and the Ravens won 16-6 on Thanksgiving Day.. and my prediction for today's game is for the Ravens to triumph again 20-14 but what's unique for me is that I've never watched a Super Bowl before in which I wanted so badly for both teams to lose. 

First there is Ray Lewis, defensive phenomenon for Baltimore.  Many people find him inspiring... but to me he's absurdly egotistical.  Almost nothing he says sounds sincere to me... whether he's extolling dedication to teamwork or proclaiming the goodness and amazingness of God... it all sounds incredibly fake... all I can hear is "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!"  So I really don't want the Ravens to win.  What do you think?  Here's a tribute video to help you decide:

Ray Lewis Tribute

On the other team is head coach Jim Harbaugh and I can't stand him either because of this incident from 2011 moments after the 49ers defeated the previously unbeaten Lions.  Usually coaches shake hands after a game, but in what became known as Handshake-gate, Jim basically approaches this handshake as though the defeated coach must be as excited about the outcome as the 49ers... which is stupid and disrespectful... here's the video:

Handshake-gate

I guess the best scenario possible is for the 49ers to humiliate Ray Lewis and then when Jim Harbaugh tries to whoop up his handshake on the Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh, his big brother will beat him up on national television.
