Relishing no longer being in the "villain" role, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is painting his team's Super Bowl opponent as occupying that position.
We'll get some football, too, as there's a nice little confrontation brewing between New England quarterback Tom Brady and Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman.
When I initially read about the deflated footballs a few hours after the AFC Championship game last Sunday, I smiled and shook my head. "Belichick! … Again," I said to myself. I sounded like Jerry Seinfeld grunting, "Newman!"
If the Patriots can put the hangover of this scandal behind them, this could actually be one of the most memorable Super Bowls of them all.
The NFL says it is still investigating how the Patriots used underinflated balls in its last game but has no conclusions yet and no timetable for resolving the cheating accusations with the Super Bowl nine days away.

The WFAN host says Commissioner Roger Goodell needs to mete out swift justice if it's proven the Patriots intentionally deflated footballs used in Sunday's AFC title game.
Bill Belichick has a lot in common with Richard Nixon and Barry Bonds. They all cheated for no obvious reason.
Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive vice president for football operations, told The Associated Press that the "investigation is currently underway and we're still awaiting findings."
