Two teams I like facing each other in the Super Bowl... I must be living right. It's only happened a handful of times since the late seventies, which is when I started watching the game, and I had a stretch of nearly 20 consecutive years where the team I wanted to win the Super Bowl _always_ lost. XXXI (Green Bay - New England in '97) was the first time I didn't have an active rooting interest -- i.e. I didn't have a motherfucking Cowboys, Giants, motherfucking Raiders, Redskins, motherfucking 49ers or Steelers to root against.
'86 doesn't really count, because even the Patriots knew they didn't belong on the field against the Bears that year...
