Now that the Packers have won the Super Bowl, 31-25 over the Steelers, we can focus our attention on something that really matters...pitchers and catchers report in eight days.
One final thought on football. In baseball, basketball and hockey, when a team wins a championship, it is recorded forever. For example, the Yankees won their first World Series in 1923. When people talk about the Yankees 27 World Championships, that 1923 championship is, of course, included.
But in football, it seems people only talk about Super Bowl championships. Case in point, the New York Football Giants. They have 7 total championships, but most people only say, "The Giants have won 3 Super Bowls." What about the 4 NFL championships before the Super Bowl existed? To me, the Giants have won 7 NFL titles, three of which were Super Bowl wins. When people talk only of Super Bowl titles, I think they shortchange teams that won championships prior to the Super Bowl.
