No one will ever quite beat Jerome "The Bus" Bettis' exit from the NFL. Winning Superbowl XL in his hometown of Detroit with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Peyton Manning has the opportunity to pull off something close by winning today. I have to say I would be pretty disappointed if Manning wins today, riding on the back of the Broncos' defense and then comes back next season as a depleted quarterback.
Yesterday we had a great early afternoon workout before attending a co-worker's wedding. We got home late so I did not post. Today is a day off from the weights to sit and enjoy the Superbowl.

Yesterday's Michigan loss to Michigan State was the worst loss I have seen in college football. The Auburn return of a missed field goal to beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl was bad... but it felt good to watch Saban's jaw hit the turf. Yesterday was just ugly and sad... unless you are a Spartan's fan.
