Jus the Superbowl? We don’t have to go through a whole rundown of the play-off tree or anything? I think I can handle that.

Let see. No Patriots (fucking Favre) … I’ll go with:

Titans over Panthers in the newly dubbed Expansion Team Bowl. Score: 27 - 17

The Titans weren’t an expansion team.

They are in my book.

I have very specific rules as to which teams are real teams and which teams are not real (hence, expansion) teams. And when I’m king no expansion team will be allowed in the playoffs until they’ve served a 25 year probationary period.

The Titans are an expansion team because there were no Titans when I was a teenager. Ipso facto … expansion.

It’s a simple world I live in.
