Cover-up!

BY TOM ROCK

No, not anything to do with spying or other dirty little NFL secrets and scandals. The cover-up is over the field here at U of P Stadium where the roof is closed to protect us from the showers. A news flash just came across the TV screens that there is a winter weather advisory in the area. Presumably that is up in the mountains.

Personal note: I've now been to two Super Bowls, and it's rained at both of them. None of the first 40 Super Bowls were played in the rain. This one won't either, but it would have been nice to open the skylight here. I wonder if the smoke from the sure-to-be-launched pregame pyrotechnics will get trapped in the building.

Actual football news: Tom Brady is on the field. He doesn't appear to have any external tape or support around his right ankle and he's not walking with a limp. Jeremy Shockey is also in the house. TV cameras caught him walking out the tunnel on a pair of crutches. But I'll let the Giants guys expound on that.

So if we beat the "greatest team of all time", what's that make us? I'll take the title "Greatest team of Sunday night"
