What happens when you put a quarterback who is playing ungodly football together with a quarterback who everyone in America(even New England fans) roots for. You get the greatest superbowl of all time. This would be a dream for Fox. The money that would come in for them would be off the charts. Bret Farve, in many people minds, last year was washed up. People were getting the lynch mob ready to run him out of Green Bay. Rather than give in to the pressure, he goes out and proves that, still in his 17th season, he is one of the great football hurlers in the league. This guy threw for 28 Touchdowns this year, gained 4,155 yards and is going to the Pro Bowl at 38 years old. Yes, he is getting up there in age according to football standards, but he is one of two quarterbacks in the NFL still standing that has the sheer desire to drive his team to the big game. The Packers this season have more than exceeded expections. I guarantee that no one, expect for Green Bay, expected the Pack to be back in the NFC Championship game.
The Patriots, the other team Fox needs in the superbowl, are going for history. The covoted 19-0, a challenge that no man has ever accomplished on the NFL level. Would'nt it be amazing to a watch a superbowl where you have the "Golden Boy", with all the single seasons records, going up against America's favorite QB. The story lines are there: Can Farve take down the undying machine. The sports writers will twist it into an good vs. evil story: Good ol' small town boy Bret Farve vs cheating Hollywood Scoundrel Shady Brady. Writers will somehow relate this superbowl to the 1997 superbowl as the second part or the revenge. People need this to be the superbowl, they are dying for it to be the superbowl. This is the time for Patriot haters to root for the stumble and Patriot fans to see what everyone else in New England have been waiting for. People from young to old will watch this game and it will go down as the most watched superbowl ever. Its a chance for the Patriots to become the greatest. Its a chance for New Englanders to throw another championship in the face of the rest. Its a chance for Tom Brady to show that he is the most feared QB. Its a chance for Bret Farve to prove everyone wrong and complete the unthinkable. The Patriots vs. The Packers, the greatest superbowl of all time.
