Patriots vs. Colts: It's Superman vs. The Flash All Over Again
Published October 31, 2007
If Tom Brady is the “new” Joe Montana and Peyton Manning is the “new” Dan Marino, then isn’t this THE "NFL battle of the 21st century" in regards to network stars? And don’t you, Johnny Lunchbox, want a front row seat to this event? Peyton may be the best “SNL sports host” in years but Tom Brady is set to break Manning’s touchdown record this season - and he needs to go through “the Central City” of Indianapolis to do it! You can cut the tension with a Kryptonite butter knife, can’t you?
And let’s not forget about Aquaman, Green Lantern (speaking of, here's some breaking news about the new Green Lantern movie - who says I'm not a REAL journalist!) and the rest of The Justice League either: Randy Moss is “back from the dead” in New England (thanks to Lex Luthor …I mean, Bill Belichick!) and Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne are truly terrific wearing the matching Blue Horseshoes out in Colts‘ country. Hey, say what you want about Moss and his “resurgence” but I’ll take Marvelous Marvin, Raging Reggie and Dallas Clark any day: The best offensive triple-arsenal in the NFL today. Yee-hah!
So where does that leave us? Back at the starting line waiting for the runners to take their mark and the gun to pop, it seems, as we each choose a side. All I know is that this Sunday is going to be history-in-the-making when Tom Brady and Peyton Manning “race to the finish” with yet another Super Bowl on the horizon.
Records will be broken. Jaws will drop in disbelief. Hype and hyperbole will be tossed around haphazardly. Sports editors will squirm. Regardless, like the rest of the not-so-innocent bystanders and spectators on the sidelines, here’s hoping “the game of the century” melts our collective faces off in the process!
So who is it going to be: Superman or the Flash?
Indianapolis Colts - 45, New England Patriots - 42

I believe this has your answer to the Superman Vs The Flash question.
Hey, thanks FOF'ers (Friends of Flash)! That kind of information is amazing and appreciated and well worth the price of admission alone to the Pop Culture Institute at BGSU!
I got pulled over by The Green Lantern Corps (for speeding) and all I got was this stupid power ring!
Sometimes it's not about who "wins" or "loses" - it's all about the race. Unless, of course, you actually LOSE, in which case it's just a stupid metaphor. Stupid, stupid metaphor! (Bangs head like Rain Man).







"(Also, said copy of the actual comic in question was destroyed when rampaging Scientologists attacked my village as a youth, so I could not even begin to tell you who won the stupid race some thirty years later - damn you, cruel fate! Damn you, L. Ron Mother-Hubbards!)"
I think the Flash won. I still have that comic somewhere...
