In superbowl news of little consequence....

Steelers running backer Jerome Bettis strives for what could be a perfect end to a Hall of Fame career, playing in his hometown of Detroit in what might be his final season. "To be in the Super Bowl, I am living the dream," Bettis said. "Then to be at home, it's an unbelievable dream. It's one of those things you don't want to end." Brings a tear to my eye

Seahawks tight end Jeremy Stevens had this to ssay about it "It's a heartwarming story and all that, but it will be a sad day when he leaves without that trophy. Seahawks 1-0

Steelers line backer Joe Porter mustn't have liked that remark, and fired back with this piece of literary craftsmanship: "I've been asleep all week but now I got woke up," Porter said. "I've got my first taste of blood and now I'm thirsty for more."

Bring it on!! Seahawks to win. Where are Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and all those nice 49er boys when you need a decent game of gridiron? Retirement should be outlawed
