I mean, the story was perfect: Brett Favre leads the youngest team in the NFL to the mountain top, they beat the undefeated Patriots, the 1972 Dolphins smash open a bottle of Champagne on the forehead of Bubba Franks.

Sadly, not to be. Instead, it’s all up to the Giants to fulfill the dreams of the 1972 Dolphins, who are the only people who care about the 1972 Dolphins.

As usual, a good roundup can be found at the Fantasy Football site… actually, it’s not very good, but what else do you need to know?  Isn’t the main point of this national holiday to sell HDTVs and boost the economy?

Wait — isn’t that the point of all holidays now?

In any case, this year I’m taking Bud Light over Bud by a safety.
