Confused about Super Bowl

Granted, both leagues would likely overpower any other country that tried to enter the fray, but there's something not right about being so pompous as to tout youself as world champs without even considering the rest of the world! Don't think I've ever heard the Stanley Cup champs referred to as "World Champions".

I thought the same when I kept hearing that yesterday. And like you, am a little jaded with pro sports these days. I tend to only watch some play-offs and championship games now.

Hockey is even worse for me now (esp the Canucks). Too many goon tactics, and bad sportsmanship. Used to watch hockey a lot when I was young, but hardly at all now. Olympics is more interesting to me, but even there, too much money and doping scandals are spoiling that, too.
