ESPN has a feature that will give you the chance to rank the various “amazing” accomplishments of professional and college sports teams throughout history. If you submit your list, you’ll get to see the way the rest of the Sports Nation poll takers ranked the greatest accomplishments of each team. There are several problems with this. First off, the ’07 Patriots have done nothing yet. They haven’t gone undefeated this season, let alone won a single playoff game. The Super Bowl Blog wishes that ESPN would quit teasing and just ask the Patriots to elope.
You’ll probably not be surprised to see how high the Pats are on the list. It’s the equivalent of ranking Hillary Clinton as the sixth best president of all time… assuming that she’s able to wrap up the Democratic nomination, overcome Nader or another alternative candidate on the left, beat whoever the Republicans run despite her “high-negatives” and the inevitable election stealing that will go on, then see this nation through the bankruptcy that looms just around the corner. Basically, you’re getting a little ahead of yourselves, ESPN and New England fans.
The latest and greatest from the rumor mill at the Super Bowl Blog is that Bill Parcels, the famously authoritarian pro football coach, has decided to join the Miami Dolphins organization. Don’t get your hopes up too high Fish fans, the Big Tuna is set to be the vise president of football operations. What that job entails is anybody’s guess, however, having Parcells around has usually led to successful football so you’ve got to be happy to hear this news if you are a sports fan in Southern Florida. The Miami Dolphins aren’t having the greatest of years, so some shakeups are due. This is probably going to be the first big move that the Dolphins make. Expect more to come.
News coming from the Bay Area is that fan favorite and all-around great guy Bryant Young has decided that he will retire after this season. Young is a defensive lineman who has played his whole career with the 49ers. He is beloved by anyone who has ever coached him or played with him. 49ers fans will get to see him suit up for the last time this upcoming weekend when the Niners play the Buccaneers. Hope you have your tickets to the game so that you can say thank you to Young for a career well done.
If you check out the front page of SportsIllustrated.com today you’ll see one of big featured articles titled “Snub Hub.” The Super Bowl Blog thought that this would be a good article to write about, considering that these blogs are brought to you by the website StubHub.com. I wonder if Andrew Perloff thought of that name on his own, or if it was a direct allusion to StubHub? But I digress. You should check out the guys who Perloff thinks deserved to get into the NFL Pro Bowl. He makes some good points, although most of the people on the list will make a lot of other lists about Pro Bowl snubs, so they are fairly obvious.
If you played fantasy football this year, then you probably know which players had breakout performances at their given positions. Who do you think should have been included in the Pro Bowl that wasn’t? The Super Bowl Blog is going to endorse a few snubs this year, including Plaxico Burress, Fred Taylor and Wes Welker. All of these guys had some pretty great seasons, statistically. The trouble is making the case that these players deserved to be in the game more so than the ones that were selected. But that’s the fun of debating the Pro Bowl selections.
