We are hours away from the Super Bowl, and depending on how much you care about non-Falcons football, you're probably either excited or grumbling. Either way, let's all watch it!
This is a legacy game for many people involved, with Peyton Manning topping the list because he A) may retire after the Super Bowl and B) could use a win to shake that playoff loser reputation that has dogged him for years. For Cam Newton, it's the chance to put an exclamation point on a great season and establish himself as as the kind of guy that will get the "is he elite?" question for the next decade. The Broncos can make an unsightly Super Bowl record better, and the Panthers can get their first win in the big game. And so forth.
