Now, About the Super Bowl...

Nothing against the Tim Tebow Lovefest known as the Senior Bowl, or the burning question about whether Chad Ochocinco should kick in the Pro Bowl (and whether the NFC can borrow him to play offensive tackle), but it's time to refocus attention on the game that has motivated every NFL player since he put on his first shoulder pads: the Super Bowl.

The People's Pigskin's quest to kick virtual butt in the NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge took almost as many hits as Brett Favre took last week. The Internet's favorite fantasy football team scored 89 points. Our three-week total is 314, which leaves us tied for 118,427th overall and 40th in the 9beersfantasysportstavern league.

That's the bad news. The good news is that six of our players from last week are eligible to be used in the Super Bowl. Drew Brees would get triple the points, since we would be using him for the third straight week. Five other players (Pierre Thomas, Joseph Addai, Reggie Wayne, Marques Colston and Dallas Clark) would get double the points for their work.

With that in mind, it's time for you, the Internet, to rise to the challenge again and pick our lineup for Super Bowl XLIV. The polls are open and will stay open until Super Sunday. Happy picking. We'll be back with some insight on our upcoming fantasy racing season. By the way, here are the results for our poll on other fantasy sports.
