Super bowl is this weekend. You can watch if you watch if you want to, but the Saints are going to win.
anyway, I was browsing Digg.com and expected there to be lots of news about the big game. There wasn’t much, except for this:

It was a play on the words, Super bowl, adding hero in it. I love superheroes, and sports so I’m this ad’s main audience. You can view it for yourself but it has Marvel vs DC and lists which characters would play certain roles on a football team.
I liked DC’s line up better, because for one superman in the quarterback but more importantly Batman is the head coach with Wonder woman as offensive coordinator. Marvel has the better defense though and Professor X is the head coach so he’ll probably read batman’s mind, but batman is always prepared and will trick him. Each side is just as powerful, both with their own advantages.
I would really like to see this get made. Either into a comic book or preferrably an animated movie. I’m more excited about the Super hero bowl rather than the actual super bowl.
as fun as this article is, what’s the point? It doesn’t add any excitement to the real super bowl. It doesn’t do anything. Great Idea but it doesn’t go anywhere. It briefly mentions the real game in the first couple lines of the first paragraph and actually detracts attention from it, saying how the colts and the saints aren’t rivals like DC and Marvel are.
also I want to point out the influence of videogames on the superbowl. an article on yahoo mentions that the for the past 5 out of 6 years the madden football videogame franchise has successfully predicted the winner of the big game. This year it predicted the saints. madden is a good simulation of the actual game, having been successful 5 times out of the last 6 years is impressive, but no one will know for sure until the final whisle blows at the end of the game.
