I’ll be honest, I don’t necessarily miss fantasy football right now. I finished a contemptible 9th place this year. Nevertheless, I can’t pass up a golden opportunity to make the Saints-Seahawks game more interesting this weekend.

This NFL postseason, those dastardly community organizers of the sports blogosphere, Blogs With Balls are originating playoff fantasy football. If you have a sports blog, you can go to BWB and register and select your team. Make sure you read the rules carefully (or you can just email Don like I did). To summarize, there’s no draft, you just pick your roster. There are certain stipulations, but as they mention “the goal is to create a roster that is just different enough to allow you to win.” Just make sure that roster includes Drew Brees.

Winner takes home a Timex e-Altimeter watch. Based on how I’ve faired in fantasy of late, I’m not going to bother looking up what e-Altimeter means.

Good luck to all my fellow sports bloggers who get in on this. Hope you pick the correct Patriots for your squad.

Super Bowl prediction: I don’t know, Indy by six?

I don’t really have an opinion on who’s going to win the game. However, I am certain, by the end of Sunday night, we will all be sick and tired of hearing the song When The Saints Go Marching In. Even odds that The Who noodle around with it during half time.

If you dislike this song – which, not for nothing, if you dislike this song then you’re a jerk, it’s delightful and timeless – you should probably either watch the game on mute or chew your 7-foot sandwich really loudly.

Here are my Top Five Renditions* of When The Saints Go Marching In.

*So as not to go buck-wild with the Saints favoritism, I didn’t post the original Who Dat?! version, but I did post it over here.
