Super Bowl XLIV: Is This A Sporting Event, Or Reality TV Show?
Miami, FL – Everyone in the country is gearing up for tonight and Super Bowl XLIV. It’s the biggest of the biggest football games, the clash of the titans (sit down, Tennessee, we ain’t talking about you), the World Championship game. It is about the best of the best playing against each other for the title. New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts. Drew Brees against Peyton Manning. Some are calling this the greatest matchup ever.
One of Them Is Playing in the Super Bowl Today. The Other, Everyone Will Be Watching.
But that’s not what is getting press. Sure, some sportswriters are focusing on the actual game, the talent of the teams, the matchup overall. But most of the headlines, blog posts, articles, and water-cooler chat are revolving around something else.
The generous tuchis of Kim Kardashian. Yeah, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. The beers are chilling, the potato chips and cold cut platters have been picked up, and the two best football teams in the country are getting ready to play each other. But what we want to know is: what will Kim Kardashian be wearing?
Sadly, it wasn’t hard to find the answer to that question. Kim is superstitious, so she won’t be wearing a Saints jersey. Perhaps she learned her lesson watching Jessica Simpson go from ‘good luck charm’ to ‘large-chested distraction’ after wearing her cute pink “Romo” jersey to just one Cowboys game. Kim will be wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and boots, and will go with the Saints’ black-and-gold theme, but will not have the name “Bush” across her back. If the rumors are true, she’ll also be wearing an engagement ring if the Saints win the Super Bowl.
Vacuous former Playboy playmate Kendra Wilkinson already married herself an NFL player, and is looking forward to running out on the field if the Colts win the game. Of course, she probably shouldn’t move too fast, as she doesn’t want to actually beat her second-string husband into any celebration. Her child with back-up Cornerback Hank Baskett, Hank, Jr. will be wearing a little “Baskett” jersey, and Kendra will be in a custom Colts jersey that says “Mrs. Baskett”. Ick.
So we can keep up with the Kardashians and watch Kendra all in one sitting. It’s not about two athletic teams: it’s a competition of Reality Show Famous-for-No-Reason Celebrities. That’s not even taking into consideration that Brad Pitt and little Maddox left New Orleans for Miami yesterday to root on their Saints. This is a Super Bowl that is already star-studded, and everyone is talking about it.
With all the world craning their necks toward the skyboxes to see how tight Kim’s jeans are or to find Brad and Maddox, one wonders if anyone will be paying attention to the action on the field. It should be a great game. Too bad almost no one will see it.
