Friday Fiver could go all the wayyyy!!!!

1. American football: good times or couldn't care less? Great time!

2. Do you have a favorite sports team? Baseball: San Francisco Giants. Football: San Francisco 49ers (NFL) San Jose Sabercats (Arena League) Hockey: San Jose Sharks.

3. What's your favorite junk food? Pizza

4. Are football players paid too much? Considering the price they pay (average career is a bit under three years, and 80% of all NFL veterans suffer some form ogf lasting physical or mental disability) no. Also, the market determines the value of a commodity. The minimum salary for a rookie is $260,000/year. For a job that pretty much guarantees a lifetime of pain, it doesn't seem unreasonable.

5. Who do you think will win this year's Superbowl? I think the Colts have too many weapons. I predict Colts 27, Bears 21.

You know, that's the single best explanation for "why pay them so damn much" I've ever seen.
