don't believe the hype. -- Hey kid. Get something straight. I'm not listening to any hype. So I'm not believing any hype. Got it?

while historically, the superbowls following two-week breaks are blowouts (relative to the one-week ones) -- I've never heard so much malarkey. Let me request that you not post any more of your sophomoric sports profundities to me again, o.k? Please save your advice and "wisdom" for others. Thanks.

I've never heard so much malarkey.

look it up - when they cut the preiod between championship week and the SB to 7 days, the games tightened. it's been discussed in for more serious sports circles than this.

disagree with my opinions all you want, but if you want to dispute that, persuade me with some other possible reasons why it happened.

of course, when they trimmed the pre-SB hype period, the profits also tightened - so I don't expect we'll see it happen again (unless there's a 9/11-type event).
