I am laughing today. The New York and New England fans are reveling is the great weather.

Forty five degrees, sunny and just a beautiful early February day.

I just heard a west coaster whining that is was bad weather, LOL

What a freaking weiner.

Last year at this time we had snow, ice storms and it really sucked.

Terrific, have a good time Super Bowlers!

The Baraqqi Depression is the problem with Nascar.

Bad impact on that demographic.

Another indicator of Baraq’s phoney “jobs explosion”

I predict many televisions will go dark when Obama appears at 4:30.

As long as the Patriots lose I’ll be happy.

Belichick videotaping an opponents practice a few yrs. ago.
and
Remember this?
Patriots v Dolphins 1982.

Thanks, it’s been a great week here in Indy.

I hope all this pays off down the road for economic development, conventions, etc.

The city (aka taxpayers) have spent a king’s ransom on this deal. AND the NFL has a TOTAL TAX EXEMPTION on everything.

Praise God he's not coming here for the game. I was shocked since the Presidential Attention Whore rarely misses a chance and it's an election year.

Patriots 42, G-Men 7; Patriots build a quick lead picking apart a weak NYG secondary. Patriots go down the field in chunks every time they are on offense. G-Men give up the ground game that isn't very good anyway. Manning is repeatedly intercepted and sacked, but in all those attempts he scores at least one as the NWE secondary is the weakest part of the team. Bellicheck is able to bring the best out of the hand he has been dealt year in and year out.

You have a good time too. As much as I hate 'em, I have to say that the Giants have really come on strong and gelled at just the right time.

Regardless of outcome, the one thing that is certain, it's going to be a hell of a game. I think this is the matchup that the NFL was dreaming of. Things that make conspiracy theorists say....hmmmmm....

They’ll just change channels. I’m on NFL Network until it gets dull, then I’ll hit NBC. If Obie shows up where ever I am I’ll switch. That’s the great part about cable, choices.

And how about the creation of the “Tuck Rule” by the referees, right on the spot, to save Tom Brady from having fumbled late in a AFC championship game vs Oakland(?).

My husband, son and some friends are watching together over here today. They are like children in the candy store getting ready for this game. They picked out a bunch of food they want me to cook. All the coolers are filled with ice and beer. They rearranged the family room for maximum television seating. Lordy!

“Stasi...? Spare me. You’re rooting for a team that comes from the liberal cesspool of New York and plays in the liberal cesspool of New Jersey.

In reality, I go to 2-3 Raiders games per year. Raiders fans are more akin to a biker gang than they are to state police....”

Your talking nonsense. Most of the players are not from NY/NJ and it has nothing to do with where they play but the Governor is Chris Christie and he’s no liberal.

On the Raider fans, yeah you got that right. It’s akin to a Mexican biker gang and one ugly looking crowd. Just saying.

It is so beautiful here, my husband is out doing oil changes on the cars before the game in shirtsleeves. LOL

We are not used to February being this kind.

Terrific football weather!

Not a big bettor but I put $20 on the Pats to win. 3 points favorites. My team, the Packers, were eliminated so I wanted to keep my interest heightened with a small wager.

Saw your archive link. Do you by any chance have the

1981 NFC Championship Game between the Niners and Cowboys?

Sure like to see that one again.

Don’t tell me they’ve resurrected Madonna for this one. I’ll probably skip half time.

Statistically ranked based on regular-season yardage, the Giants defense is 29th against the pass and 19th against the run.

Both are top-notch passing offenses against lousy pass defenses. Giants are ranked worst run offense in the NFL. Difference could be NE's #20 rush offense.

Neither defense looks very good, at least regular season stats based on yardage. The Giants defense is 29th against the pass and 19th against the run.
