With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

I have to say that I was confused by the lack of communication out from A.J. Smith and Norv Turner as it relates to Shawn Merriman's injury and playing status. In the NFL, the Trainer, General Manager and Head Coach all have roles in dissemination of information to the media as it relates to players let alone the super star caliber players. How the press is handled follows protocol and so the degree to which representatives were quiet during Shawn's trek across the states to find any doctor who could offer a different opinion was odd. He found that competent sports surgeons often agree that when a knee is torn up that bad, the best course of action is surgery and rehabilitation no matter how long it takes. For crying out load Shawn, you are 24 with the best years of your pro football life ahead of you. Shut it down and do it now so you can begin the healing process. Atleast you got some extra frequent flyer miles.

I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to predicting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's Super Bowl, however, remains a mystery to me. Part of the reason I am having trouble getting a good feel for this game is that I am a bitter Jets fan and I can't stand either team. I'm finding it difficult to put my personal feelings aside and look at the game objectively. I think right now I am as close to objectivity as I am going to get, and with that being said, here is my official Super Bowl XLII prediction.
