With Super Bowl XLVI (46) a week away, I'm still trying to determine which team I will root for. Normally, I don't care enough about the teams to worry about who to root for. As a fan of football, I usually just watch for the sake of watching. This year, things are a bit different.
Niether the New York Giants nor the New England Patriots are what I would consider "my team." However, both are fun teams to watch and both have an Iowa Hawkeye player on their squad (something that always makes an NFL game interesting to a die-hand Hawkeye fan). The Giants have safety Tyler Sash and the Patriots have linebacker Jeff Tarpinian. The Patriots also have tight end coach Brian Ferentz, who is the son of Iowa football's head coach Kirk Ferentz.
