I&#8217;m sad because football season is ending but for the first time I can remember, I really have <em>no<\/em> interest in either team playing in the Super Bowl. I don&#8217;t particularly like either team. I don&#8217;t hate either team \u2014 it just doesn&#8217;t make any difference to me who wins. Most people seem to think I should be a Ravens fan, living so close to Baltimore, but there&#8217;s a lot of reasons that I kind of dislike the Ravens, starting with the Art Model fiasco of moving the team there from Cleveland. The 49ers just fall into the ho hum category.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Redskins are usually out of the picture, I typically choose a team or two that I&#8217;d sort of like to see win.
