It's gotta be Peyton Manning.
Although black head coaches will be talked about a lot too. I think if they do it respectfully it'll be ok (ie: showing great black head coaches of the past that never made it to the Superbowl, showing how great friends Lovie and Tony are and what a mentor Tony has been to Lovie).
That being said, I fear they will be completely overt about it, make it awkward, and turn everyone off to it. After all, that's what white people do.

Ok you've told us your sexual preference, but who do you think will win the game?

That doesn't make any sense.

I'm taking the Colts.
Fact is the Bears had it easy getting to the superbowl. They are the only respectable team in the NFC. The AFC had 4 strong contenders this year and I believe any of the 4 of them would beat the Bears in the big game.
I'm actually expecting a high scoring game. I think Rex has a great game playing against a defense that he is used to seeing and the same goes for Manning. The Colts just have more offensive talent to put points on the board in a shootout.

Tampa 2 Superbowl
I could definitely see the turnovers getting out of hand this game.

At the same time each QB and coach is very familiar with the other team's system. We could see alot of points because both sides know how to take advantages of the weaknesses of the cover 2.

I guess if there's so hope for the game it's that the only NFC team to win the Superbowl as of late has been Tampa, another good cover 2 defense against a high-powered offense (Oakland).

I have to agree. We need to assert ourselves very early on by hitting them in mouth, literally. If Peyton can sit in the pocket and we don't get good licks on their recievers we'll be toast.

Relative to the Colts we had an easy road to the Superbowl. Playing the Hawks and the Saints doesn't compare to playing the Ravens and the Pats.

Since both coachs know the weakness their defense will do things a little differently for the big game.

What does that prove? The Bears lost that game. If anything it proves my point that the 4th best team in the AFC is better than the only good team in the NFC.

I will like to see how as people call them pass stop defenses will do in this game. I also wonder if Tommie Harris and Mike Brown were in the game if the Bears would be favored.

Are people actually voting for the Bears? Man. At least I jumped on the bandwagon a long time ago. And still said they were easily the NFCs best team, and possibly the NFL, when the Giants, Saints, Seahawks, Cowobys and Eagles were given that title.

Well, it doesn't prove that at all. It proves the Bears can hang ON THE ROAD with a SB worthy team, despite their QB playing badly.

4th best? Last time I checked the top 2 teams in the AFC lost in the playoffs in the 2nd round at home. So to me, it looked like those supposed "great" AFC teams were...
A) Overrated to begin with
B) Unable to show up in the big game
C) Regular season pretenders
As much as you bash the NFC, at least our top 2 teams held court. Hell, every team held court in the playoffs this year. Which meant that the best ranked team came away with the W each game.
