Chuck Klosterman has been reporting on all things Super Bowl culture for ESPN this week. Great stuff. Here are two enjoyable passages:

There is no question that religiosity is an athletic advantage -- I bet if those "Freakonomics" authors did a little research, they would find that the winning percentage of NFL teams is directly proportional to the number of born-again Christians on the active roster. I mean, how hard would you work if you thought you were working for God? In all likelihood, you do not associate your day-to-day job with Jesus; if you did, you probably wouldn't be sitting at your desk and reading this blog.
By the looks of the people throwing the ball at NFL Experience, drinking 30 to 40 beers every night does not limit one's ability to go deep, so I was totally qualified to try this. Sadly, the line was just too long; I never learned how far I can chuck the leather spheroid. As such, I will just have to continue using my previous estimate: 85 yards.

Getting a ton of popups from your site lately. Sure they're not hard to block but still annoying.

Kelly, I'll have to check the settings, I thought I had that sorted out.
