Superbowl could be coldest in more than 5o years, says meteorologist

Close games.
Seattle win by 4 pts.
Denver win by 5 pts.
Check that. I’m calling it for both home teams: Seattle and Denver.
And you’ll see the collectivist media declare it’s our fault!
I’m calling it Ducks and Pats in the SB.
Or Whiners V Denver...
either way, I expect one and only one home loss this weekend.
Should be good no matter what happens!
Badly titled article considering they link to this title
Joe Bastardi Forecasting That The Superbowl Could Be Coldest Weather In 50+ Years
Even without checking their standings or depth chart, I can say with confidence that Seattle is not likely to win the Super Bowl.
For that matter, neither are Philadelphia, Baltimore, Arizona, or Atlanta. In fact, in 46 Super Bowl match-ups from 1967 to 2012, only once has a football team named for a bird emerged victorious in the championship game. The Baltimore Ravens crushed my beloved New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV (2001) to become footballs finest feathered franchise. Teams named for Homo sapiens just do better in this game. In an astonishing 33 of 46 contests, an organization named for a meat (not cheese) packer, chieftain, cowpoke, steel worker, indigenous American, gold miner, U.S. nationalist, servant of a deity, oversized individual, or some species of pirate has won it all.
>>Will it snow at the Super Bowl?<<
If it does, the NFL-issued dresses on the QBs and wideouts will just freeze their little tushies off.
Is it just me or does it seem that actors who just aged looked so much better than ones who try to hang onto their youth?
Maybe because the older generation had something unheard of -- elegance.

BTW how much tokin will take place in the mile high stadium?
Have to go with The Hoodie and Tom over Manning- 38-21. Seattle over SF- 31-28. And so it is done.
To me, Alec... aged much better that...
Mark--
And Re: Is it just me or does it seem that actors who just aged looked so much better than ones who try to hang onto their youth?
First, you cannot 'thread drift' on any thread I originally post if you talk about the crap I like... Like films, TV, sci-fi, old movie stars, new movies stars I like, hot babes and just for general effect, hot babes again!
Now, I have 'post drifted' enough on your dime and to get back to your point, I was always a Burt Reynolds fan, recalling as a 12-year old seeing him in the old original 1959 "Riverboat" TV series with Darren McGavin. I remember seeing him in the 1963 "Twilight Zone: The Bard" episode where his character, Rocky Rhode, was a very funny takeoff on Marlon Brando method acting.
The times when I was out in Hollywood I occasionally got a glimps of him at events, once on set of one of his later Dan August TV Movies and at a red light when he pulled up besides me on Santa Monica Boulevard around the early 1980s time he was making City Heat with Clint Eastwood.
So I have watched him through his other TV series and then into films where he because a movie star and then finally back to TV in 1990-94 "Evening Shade." Always enjoyed his acting even in some of the occasional stinkers he did--
Then one morning after some time had passed (1995? 96? 97?) I happened to see him on "Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee" and the facelift was more than evident.
Gadzooks, I recall cringing in almost physical pain as I looked at Burt!
I still can feel that pain whenever I see anything Burt has done since that morning with Regis and Kathie Lee.
All I can say it is is very, very sad and he must have been very insecure to have that done. That is the little talked about fact that many, if not most celebrities, are terribly insecure and nothing like the characters they portray in films, TV, play or whatnot--
Anyway, all I can add is I am above that type of insecurity except for this old ballcap. Does it make me... look fat?
And I am not... talking about the teams playing the game.
The world will certainly be watching Seattle and Denver go at it ... how could terrorists resist such a juicy target?
Maybe so, but I've made a buck or two... off Mile High Manning this year--
I can live... with the Pats winning--
But the... Niners?
I ever so much hope... NOT!
