Patriots vs. Seahawks is a good match-up for this year. But no Superb Owl will ever be better than [this](http://tinyurl.com/plrym3j).

Perhaps, but I think [this](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/02/25/article-2105742-11DCB091000005DC-173_964x565.jpg) from the BBC series “Frozen Planet” is both more superberer and definitely more angryerer. That is a very pissed-off superb owl.

And when you gaze long into a superb owl the superb owl also gazes into you.

I thought that XLIII, Steelers vs. Cardinals in 2009, was the best football game I’d ever seen. A close game between well-matched teams, with multiple very dramatic scores, including a record long run, and a last-minute comeback for the good guys to win, setting a record for number of wins in the process.

Goddammit, you stole mine so +1.
