    Default Super Bowl Sunday!

    I don't know if this video will load or not, probably not. Click on it if not, it's awesome. It's a few minutes of Ray Lewis giving a speech to pump up the players, the Patriots and Brady. I think more so, it's one great player talking to another, and that this is when champs shine. While I detest the Patriots, if Brady wins this game, it's gonna be awfully tough to vote against him and his career. Gonna be a fun game!!

    Does anyone have a stake in this game? I don't care about the Patriots or Falcons. I just want to watch the game itself.
    Because the Super Bowl is the ultimate tribute to American wealth and consumerism.

    I know we have a few Patriots fans here. I don't know, do we have any Falcons fans? Outside the "falcons fans" who want to see Brady/Belechick lose?

    Brady is already going to surpass any Steelers player ever, already has. He will be the greatest QB ever, even with any scandals attached. Belechick may go down as best coach ever if they reel off another one. As a fan who loves the sport, I wouldn't mind seeing history made, or cemented I should say. At the same time, when was the last time Atlanta ever won the big game? That's right, never. So seeing them come in and beat the dynasty would be pretty dang cool too! But I wouldn't drop a dime on this game probably, both too good and it could really go either way. But if I had no choice, the money goes on the 2 guys I hate.

    It was so good to see HW Bush and Barbara, they look pretty good. The crowd was positive and the players shook their hands. Made me happy!

    My family is made up of nerds, even the ex. Sigh. My daughter was the one exception and she married 'this guy':

    This elevates me into "super nerd" status, right? Double points since I'm not watching football.

    Wow, just a pick 6 now making it 21-0, instead of what looked to be close to NE scoring to make it 14-7. Big upset in the making?

    I know. I was for the Falcons, sorta. Then my friend from Boston called and begged for my allegiance. I bet I hear from her soon, I'm a jinx.

    Well ME picked up 3.

    Sort of shades of the Cubs, which also was in November. LOL! There isn't a contest, yet. I do remember though, Cleveland fighting back...

    I wanted the Falcons, because they have never won one. I've got nothing against NE....but
    take the supposed underdog.

    I ran track in college against two eventual Falcons, Tom Pridemore and Harry 'The Snake' Blake.
    Harry blew my doors off in the 440 dash.
