I think, first of all, there's an enormous psychological energy coming out of Green Bay. They've waited a long time to get back to the Super Bowl. They had this proud heritage. And it really is a home team. They don't have the kind of--they never worry about the team moving. They don't have to worry about the franchise leaving if you don't build a new stadium. They don't have to worry about building a skybox for wealthy people--you know, keep the money coming in. And it's always going to be sold out, because it belongs to the community and the leaders of the community. And I think that, plus the fact that they played a very tough NFC schedule and ranked first in offense and third in defense and they've got great wideouts and great tight ends and a good running program. You know, that's a very rare thing to see that. I think that gives them a lot going. Now, the flip side is the New England team has come alive defensively in the last five games in a way that's highly unusual. You rarely--if something funny--something fundamentally different has happened to them. And it's the one thing that makes me believe that--you know, the last several Super Bowls, the NFC team has won fairly handily. But if you look at the fact that the Patriots have a very skilled quarterback, a fabulous coach who is very savvy in circumstances like this---- Mr. Hunt. And has been there before.
