As capitalism prepares for their Super Bowl commercials, the rest of us are following the 2009 Playoff storylines. I am especially disappointed with how unexciting the playoffs are starting off to be (which isn't surprising considering last year's Super Bowl was about as exciting as it gets), and I even missed the Cards defeating the young Atlanta Falcons and the start of Peyton Manning bidding for his second ring. But here are the stories to follow:
Peyton Manning as MVP turning around one of the worst starts in recent memory for the Colts trying to prove why Eli was never considered the better brother.
The Giants proving last year was not a fluke or based on luck, but they are in fact THAT good.
The Eagles trying to get past the McNabb benching, and not think about all the off-season distractions that are inevitably going to happen.
The Titans who almost went undefeated without making any noise in the press getting over Vince Young.
LT re-injuring his foot which slowed him down earlier this season and last year's playoffs, but trying to play through it and get his once favored Chargers into the Super Bowl.
The Panthers with the comeback of DeAngelo Williams and Jake Delhomme.
The Ravens trying to do what Atlanta could not: win with a rookie quarterback leading their offense.
The Miami Dolphins trying to go from last to first and trying to prove they got the better end of the Brett Favre fiasco.
Any combination of teams can make it into the Super Bowl, but I think the only exciting combination would be the Manning brothers facing off and seeing who got the better genes.
