As we prepare for the big game on February 4, we finally know the two teams that will meet each other. The AFC will send the Indianapolis Colts to face the Chicago Bears of the NFC. This game already has some interesting story lines that we will look into in much more depth in the coming weeks.

• Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy are the first African-American coaches to bring their teams to a Super Bowl. They’re also very close friends. Both men are classy professionals so I don’t anticipate any trash talking or bulletin board material. But will be fun to monitor what they say about each other.
• Peyton Manning gets over the hump. But now we get to talk about if can win the REALLY big game.
• Rex Grossman. Can he handle the pressure?
• A fantastic offense vs. a fantastic defense. An age old question, can a great offense beat a great defense? and vice versa.

Congrats to the Bears and the Colts. Let the work begin for them, and the fun begin for their fans.
