Super Bowl preview for non-sports types

This Super Bowl preview “for people who don’t know football” from The Rumpus is pretty good, even for people who do know football. Especially if you’ve never heard about Donald Driver’s childhood:

Growing up in abject poverty in Houston, Texas, Donald, his mother, and brother lived, at various times, in a U-Haul, out of a car, and on the streets. As a young teen, Donald used his intelligence, natural dexterity and quick hands to become an extremely effective car thief. He sold the cars to buy drugs, which he then turned around and sold for more money. He believes he stole up to thirty cars, and was only caught once.
