We are now less than 51 hours away from the Superbowl (depending on when you're reading this), and I have yet to meet a single person that believes the Bears have a chance to win. Not a single one. And that might spell doom for Indianapolis. It's never a good sign when one team is favored so heavily, even though Vegas might not agree (Colts are favored by only a touchdown).

A similar thing happened a couple years ago when the Patriots won their first title. Going up against a seemingly invincible Rams team which featured Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, and my favorite white reciever of all time: Ricky Proehl. The Pats were 17 point underdogs, but narrowly edged out the Greatest Show on Turf. How did they do it? The answer is simple: Tom Brady became Tom Brady, Ty Law laid down the law, and the rest of the team played like they had something to prove. Well, prove it they did. The Patriots went on to become the NFL's latest dynasty and the Rams were left in shambles. Kurt Warner went from potential Hall-of-fame quarterback to a fat-thumbed fumbler who lost his job to Eli Manning. Will the same thing happen to Peyton if the Colts lose on Sunday? Could Sexy Rexy become the next Tom Brady? Probaby not. But nobody is picking the Bears, and that makes them a very dangerous team.

On to Dodger news: I said I would have a comment if the Dodgers actually signed Rudy Seanez. Well, they did, but only to a minor league contract. I am praying to Jesus nightly that he doesn't make the club. Can you possibly imagine our middle relief next year? Let's say our starting pitcher has to leave in the 6th. Who can Grady call on? Well lets see: Mark Hendrickson, Elmer Dessens, Brett Tomko, Rudy Seanez ... Shit, why not just take a dude out of the right field pavillion? We'd better hope our starters can go at least 7 every night.

The Dodgers also gave a minor league contract to Fernando Tatis. Oh, Fernando Tatis. Dodger fans remember him most for being the first major leaguer ever to hit two grand slams in the same inning-both off of Chan Ho Park. I can see Ned's rationale here. Now that Chan Ho, the king of the home run groove pitch, is back in the NL West with San Diego, we can call up Tatis from AAA whenever the Padres are in town. The Korean will be wetting his pants before he knows what happened. Then, when he actually figures out what happened, he'll realize that he just served up another home run ball. Oh, btw, Tatis has an OPS of 1.850 against Chan Ho Park.

Monday Night Madness: Last week's 24 was, I hate to say it, subpar. Nothing really happened. Jack Bauer kills? Zero. Chloe frowns? Zero. What a disappointment. However, this does not mean I'm losing faith in the show. That wouldn't be a good idea. Lose faith in Jack Bauer, and he'll put two bullets in your spine. I'm just saying that for once, Heroes put up a better showing. I'm absolutely loving Heroes at the moment.
