Giants and Patriots in Super Bowl rematch
by M. Stewart
As an NFL fan, I am satisfied that this year's Super Bowl will be a worthy match up; in fact, it will be a rematch of four years ago, which was one of the greatest game in SB history. The New England Patriots and New York Giants will go at it again.
Both conference championship games were fantastic, though I admit that it was difficult to see how the Baltimore Ravens lost to New England. A stripped catch in the end zone that would have won the game, a game-ending botched field goal by one of the more reliable kickers in the league--I can only imagine how Baltimore fans must feel.
I consider it kind of low-class to "hate" your favorite team's rivals; in fact, to me that's the difference between a football fan and someone who merely "loves" a particular team. As such, I take no pleasure in the Ravens loss. Joe Flacco played a great game, as did all the other Baltimore players. They certainly played well enough to win, and probably should have won. But everyone knows that should never won anything.
So congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens for a great season. As for the San Francisco 49ers, I don't have much connection to West Coast teams. Still, the 49ers too played well enough to win. A couple of botched punts by a young player was the difference in the game. Congrats to San Francisco for a fantastic year.
I became an Eli Manning/New York Giants fan after the big Super Bowl win over the Patriots four years ago. Everyone has pointed out how this year's Giants team has taken a similar path to championship. Can the beat the Pats a second time? The odds are against it, but who knows? I'll be rooting for the Giants, but mostly I hope it is a great game decided in the final seconds.

This blog is about Ohio River Life but the past few months there is never a article or discussion about the local area. So I guess there is no news there at all. What a boring place that has become.
I'm not spending much time with ORL these days due to other commitments, but that's no reason to blame someone else for your own boredom.
