Divine Intervention at a Super Bowl?

Yes folks, it's the rare 3 for 1 deal.  A new blog post, a new podcast, then another new blog post  all in one day from your friends at the Dick and Bo Show.  I know, I know, you can hardly contain yourself, but at least give it your best shot.  We tried to keep our Super Bowl podcast short because really, what could we possible talk about that hasn't been talked about already this week.  So, the podcast only covers two things:  the game itself and Bill Simmons.   

There's some interesting banter about Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and which one of them is Hall of Fame worthy.  Other than that we keep it simple and make our picks.  I chose the Steelers based on sound knowledge of the game of football and, on paper, the Steelers' defense looks pretty unbeatable.  Dick, forever raging against the machine, chose the Cardinals.  Surprisingly, not based on anything other than the fact that Warner was going to get a "helping Hand".  All in all, he has just as much of a chance of getting his pick right as I do.  That's why predictions don't matter.  

We dedicate the second half of our show to Bill Simmons.  And his, as of lately, well below average sports reporting.  Simmons called us, along with anyone else who has a blog or podcast, out in his last article.  Well, Willie.  You want the thunder?  You called down the thunder!!!  Our advice to you:  Become relevant again and you won't have to keep looking over your shoulder to see who's chasing you down.  Here's a hint:  It's the extremely underrated DJ Gallo.  It's almost as if Bill Simmons is quitting on the ESPN team like Manny Ramirez did to the Boston Red Sox.  Does Simmons want to get traded to Sports Illustrated?  Is Scott Boras his new agent?  Wake up, Sports Guy before it's too late.

Check back next week for a recap of the Super Bowl.  Until then, try to ignore the pregame shows and enjoy the game.
