The football season is finally coming to an end this Sunday when the two Best teams play for it all in a showdown between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots.
But are they really the two Best teams in the NFL or are they the two teams Playing the Best in the playoffs.
In the end, very few people are going to remember which team almost went undefeated, which teams had record breaking seasons, which teams were the Division winners, which teams were offensive juggernauts etc.
Most people including some that don't even care or know much about football are going to know who the eventual Super Bowl Champion is going to be when it Ends.
In local High School Girls basketball, two teams have been the clear cut Best teams the last few years, John Jay and Wagner. But this year, the field is wide open with at least 10 teams having a better than outside chance of playing in Austin. Those teams in no particular order and in my humble opinion are Cibolo Steele, Judson, Wagner, Reagan, Churchill, Johnson, Stevens, O'Connor, Jay and Brandeis.
If you consider the point guards for these teams, you have an amazing display of leaders and talent. A few can single-handedly carry a team on their backs like in Churchill, Johnson and Jay and some are unbelievable catalysts like in Stevens and Judson. Take a look at athleticism and its off the charts in teams like Steele, Reagan, Stevens and Judson. Some teams have freshman contributing big time like in Steele, Churchill, Stevens, O'Connor, Jay and Brandeis. Whats more amazing is that the majority of star players in these teams are non seniors. And lets not leave out the Head Coaches. Some Head Coaches in particular can Will their teams to Austin. Do I really need to mention teams????
As the regular season winds down, there is plenty up for debate.
So who has the best players, which team has the best offensive and defensive stats, which team is the most athletic, which coach is the best, which team has the deepest bench and which team is the Best?
One thing for sure is that soon we will know which team is Playing the Best. And in the End for that particular team going to Austin, nothing else will seem to matter much.
And in my humble opinion, there shouldn't be much else that matters than being there supporting how all this unfolds.
