@ Super Sunday: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by quarterback Tom Brady, won last year’s Super Bowl in their home stadium.
Sierra High School quarterback E. Tooter Moosefoot has transfered from Cal State Northridge to Alabama.
To me, these conference championship games are always better football than the Superbowl, probably due to the lesser amount of hype and showbiz that goes along with them. Having two games of the caliber that we saw yesterday is simply amazing. Now, for the first time, a team will play in a Superbowl in its home stadium…in Los Angeles. That makes us happy, but people in other cities are yawning, so the conference title games are still the thing.
