Latest Greatest Super Bowl Theory
Word in Florida, where they are playing Super Bowl XLI, from the Floridians who claim to be in the know, is take the Bears.
Here’s the skinny on why...
As we all know the University of Florida Gators are the NCAA National Champions in Basketball. Led by a young man blessed with the mad hair of his pops, a young man who lists New York City, NY as his hometown, Joakim Noah, Florida Basketball is still ranked number one in all the land.
Check the hair.
Reaffirm the hair.
Beyond the hair, you will also note that in addition to their basketball championship, these same Univeristy of Florida Gators won the NCAA Men’s football championship earlier this month.
Perhaps, however you didn’t know or hadn’t noted, however, that baseball's World Series Champions, St. Louis Cardinals were led by World Series MVP and Florida Gator, David Eckstein.
Ahhh, but dear reader the story goes a might further yet. Perhaps you recall, the NBA Champion Miami Heat. These same Miami Heat sported two Florida Gators in their starting line-up, Udonis Haslem and Jason Williams.
So do Gators rule the sports world?
It would certainly appear so right now, and this paper is no natural born Florida sympathizer.
So how does this play out or play into the Super Bowl?
Well as it turns out, the Indianapolis Colts do not have a single University of Florida Gator on their roster. Not a one. Whereas the monsters of the midway, that team that will always be known as 'da Bears, the NFC representative, the Chicago Bears have a roster littered with Gators, including their starting quarterback Rex Grossman and one of their defensive stalwarts, pass rushing end Alex Brown.
Hmmmm...
Gators, eh?
