OK, so I have a question. I caught a little bit of the football games over the weekend (that's the American football played with the hand as opposed to English football played with the foot). Anyway, I watch very little NFL and barely follow it. But I do try to catch some of the Superbowl, just because it has become the spectacle that it is. The problem is that I have no horse in the race. So, who do I root for? I think there's four teams left, so who should it be? I'm going to assume Mark @Captain_Oblivious would tell me the Eagles. Any other suggestions?
I don't think rooting has much to do with anything. It's all about the sports book. 3 unproven teams and QBs against the Legend. Hmmmm.......
For me it's more of rooting AGAINST the patriots. The falcons should have beaten them last year...if only they'd kept running the ball instead of passing. , but anyone that beats the patriots are GOOD in my book.
I thought it was like Hulk Hogan almost being put to sleep before coming back for the win.
Morning, gents.
Had to go out and shovel a little bit this morning. My neighbor said something to me, but the words froze. I'll have to wait until spring to hear what he said.
I had the girls shovel again today. I'm liking this older, independent thing. It's terrific.
Well, of course it should be the Eagles. Their last championship was in 1960, so they've never won it all in my lifetime. But they've produced enough pain and suffering for many lifetimes.
That being said, perhaps you wouldn't want to bring that pain and suffering upon yourself.

I'm afraid that without Wentz, they don't match up all that well. I don't know how luckier Case Keenum can get though. It's been one heck of a streak this season.
No need to apologize...ever since they started this take a knee thing and the NFL won't enforce their OWN RULES regarding it, not really caring a whole lot about the NFL. I always watch the super bowl more for the commercials anyway, so may just not watch at all this year. I didn't see the game, but I heard regarding Julio missing the pass. Really glad for you and not upset on this end.
It wasn't the knee thing. For me, it's Bellicheck and maybe the Patriots organization. He sucked as a pro-coach until Tom Brady. He blatantly cheated at Spygate and was not suspended. And, Spygate was more than just taping signals, according to the report, but the NFL burned the evidence. The Saints coaches were found not guilty of cheating and yet were suspended a whole year. Brady was accused of cheating, but allowed to play in playoffs and a year later finally suspended. When the rules are consistently changed for the benefit of one team or one player, then it is no longer a competition - it's the World Wrestling Federation.
I'm sure most all the players are doing their absolute best. But, I see a play like that last one in the Saints & Vikings game and have to wonder. By the way, the Vikings won and covered the spread with that one play. Overall, it is still entertaining and I'll enjoy the party.
