If it's Flacco, the whole "quarterbacks win championships" argument will again come under fire.

And if it's Kaepernick, the read-option offense might become the hottest thing since Los del Rí...

Call it the Harbowl if you like; we’ll all admit that both the name and the story line have a certain appeal – but Super Bowl XLVII is about much more than the battle between Jim and John that has been raging since boyhood. What's more impressive is how each of them led their teams this year. The bloodline story is compelling and media friendly, so it will be told often in...
