I had to go back to my 3rd grade Roman Numeral text (What? We had 3rd grade texts in McMinn Co.) Turns out the L=30 thus making Super Bowl XL the 40th one. With only two weeks of hype for a fan to sort through, I've got to figure out who to root for.
My first two choices the Titans and Colts are sitting at home watching the game like me. So I look at each team looking for a reason to pull for them. There is a player who has been in the league 13 years and has been a momentous force on his team. Not the fat guy named after the kiddie carrier, but the Seahawk's Marc Strong. The unsung fullback has been in the league and with the same team for 13 NFL seasons. The other test is how many former Vols are on each team. Both teams can only brag of one UT alum. Push.
Therefore my support will go to the Strong. Go Seahawks!
Um, L means 50... when you put an X in front of it, it means 10 less than 50 or, 40...
