Another interesting note from the Super Bowl: aside from my season-long man-crush, Stephen Davis (who ultimately let me down in Week 15), and maybe his Panther teammate WR Steve Smith, who had a good season (when he wasn’t beating the shit out of his own teammates in team meetings, that is), there was not one, single fantasy stud on either Super Bowl team.
b) A crush on (sexual attraction toward) a man.The second one was a gag gift for Private First Class Dubee. He had this man crush on a male professional wrestler. We managed to get a digital shot of Dubee standing next to a poster of his man crush.
