Let me start by saying I love NFL football, and I love the Superbowl.
But the NFL has something unique in that its championship game is set two weeks before it is to played, with no other games proceeding it. College football has the BCS championship set well in advance, but then there many other somewhat meaningful games in the interim leading up to it. Other than that, no other sport even comes close.
What that leads to is two full weeks of coverage of one game. Two teams. For two weeks. Everyday someone's got to have some new angle, some undiscovered piece of game film, some hard luck story about the long-snapper on the practice squad. What's happened in the almost two weeks since the AFC and NFC games? Some guys nursing some injuries... and... and well, that's about it. Which leaves us with nothing else but to speculate, and pontificate, and speculate some more. For two weeks.
Do I have a solution? No. Will I be jonesing for for football coverage two weeks after the Superbowl is over? Of course I will. I am just done hearing about the Steelers and Cardinals, Cardinals and Steelers, Pittsburgh and Arizona. Superbowl Sunday I will be glued to the TV like millions of others- but as of Superbowl Friday, I am big-gamed out.

I think the week off between the conference finals and the Super Bowl is good. I just don't listen to all the hype in the two weeks. I can watch the highlights of the press conferences (which is usually less than three minutes), read what I want on the net and catch the last 30 minutes of the 5 hour pre game show.
