Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com.  I received the following submission earlier today.

Am I the only one who *didn't* think that the first half of the Superbowl was "a dog"?  Surely I can't be the only person who appreciates a good defense?  I personally love watching a linebacker come out of nowhere to stuff a run behind the line of scrimmage, or to make a huge sack.  I love watching the linemen push the pocket in around the QB, forcing a mistake or a lost opportunity at the very least.

I actually found the first half far more interesting, wondering what the heck either team was going to try next to break out and get some points on the board.  I would have been a very happy camper had the game ended after 30 minutes.  The second half was fine, but it was, well, ordinary.  I couldn't get pumped up at all for New England to make that last drive, because that's what they *always* do.  Vineteri actually missing two field goals early on, now that was exciting.

Prior to Tom Brady's pass to Deion Branch with 3:11 to go in the first half I thought both sides were playing scared.  I didn't see it so much as two great defenses but more like two inept offences.  Carolina didn't look like they were going to get a first down all night.  I hear what you're saying about appreciating good defense but I can't say I loved this game until the flurry at the close of the second quarter.  I think the final quarter was extremely entertaining and hardly "ordinary".
