Football
The San Francisco 49ers are 4-point favorites over the Baltimore Ravens and the total is 47½ in the Super Bowl today in New Orleans.
I’ve seen way too many of those horrendous NFL-designed purses dangling from the wrists of otherwise well-meaning women lately. Yes, it proves fashion for the sake of fanship has become more offensive than a wide-open tight end. It also means professional football isn’t, and hasn’t been for some time, a sport belonging strictly to the boys.
The powerful left arm that once rocketed footballs 60 yards downfield now has trouble with the smallest tasks. The legs that carried him into sold-out stadiums betrayed him long ago.
Q: What’s your best bet for the Super Bowl? – Bryan, Pasadena, Calif.
Columnist Ed Graney says the Baltimore Ravens’ Ray Lewis is like cyclist Lance Armstrong in that to appreciate his athletic skills, you first must understand the separation between supreme athlete and questionable character.
In the case of Armstrong, it’s hard to divide humanitarian from cheating superstar. As for Lewis, there is no debating his greatness on a football field, a 17-season career that will end against the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday.
When the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens take the field for Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, it’s going to be Kaepernick vs. Flacco. Red and gold vs. purple and black. Sourdough Sam vs. Poe the Raven.
