Well, its already time for the Super Bowl. This season has gone by fast, me watching my beloved Vikings go on a roll and then losing in the wild card round. This season, the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49er's play each other. These two teams have a tremendous rushing attack, the Ravens having Ray Rice (obviously) and Bernard Pierce. On the 49er's, Frank Gore and Lamichael James.

What's more important to you... experience or explosiveness? That's the storyline of these two quarterbacks playing today. Joe Flacco, Ravens quarterback, is in his 5th season in the NFL and has made it to the playoffs each year. Colin Kaepernick was drafted in 2011 by the 49er's and had his first full game starting role when Alex Smith was benched earlier this season. He has proven he could pass and run in the clutch during the playoffs. Here is a video of NFL on FOX talking about him.
Ever heard of Ray Lewis? To me, he's the best linebacker in the NFL. He has been on the Ravens for the past 17 seasons and won the Super Bowl MVP in 2001. He decided earlier this season that he would retire at the end of this season so this is a big game for him.
Another story-line during this Super Bowl are the coaches. John Harbaugh is the coach of the Ravens and Jim Harbaugh is the coach of the 49er's. They are brothers. I would not want to be their parents!
