If you don't like this years Super Bowl, pick another one.

Which one was the Jackie smith (?) drop in the end zone

[dfwgator]

I think that was SB XIII.

I watched SB 1. Vince Lombardi’s Packers beat the chiefs. I was 17.

I haven't watched many Super Bowls but I remember a time many years ago when I went to a "Super Bowl Party" and the tables there were groaning with all manner of foods, hot and cold. There weren't enough seats in the living room so I sat on the floor in the back corner where nobody could see me unless they turned around. This allowed me to read the paperback in my backpocket without the others yelling at me for not watching the game. I am not 100% sure but I think it was a book of short stories including Leo Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", which had a sad ending as the main character died in a very lonely way.

Most of the women there didn't appear to care about the outcome of the game and so they busied themselves in the kitchen, gossiping among themselves and keeping the snacks coming to us guys in the living room. But when it came to commercials, they all dashed in to see them as that was evidently the main form of entertainment for them.

The bathroom was a mess. I was ashamed of the behavior of my fellow guys as they were totally missing the toilet and in consideration of the ladies, I would occasionally run some toilet paper around the floor to sop up the splatter and flush it down the toilet.

I ended up not sleeping well that night because I had a big headache, probably because of all the snack foods and beers that I had. Super Bowls appear to be all about overconsumption.

Anyhow, I hope Philadelphia wins the Super Bowl on Sunday Night because I'm tired of Taylor Swift and those Kelce brothers. I know Trump will be there and he might be rooting for Kansas City because some of the players speak well of him. But in any case, I won't be watching, because I'm taking my wife that night to an Indian restaurant in which I will have a big plate of Punjabi lamb curry with a Masala omelette.

I don't care what all you people think about that.

It was not a bad call, as NFL films later showed. Ball was tipped by Dallas’ Mel Renfro in between being touched by the Colts’ Eddie Hinton and then caught by John Mackey. From the right angle, you can clearly see the spin change when Renfro touches it

I am waiting for YOUR first book of short stories, because you are such a great and entertaining writer!

[Palio di Siena]

I believe you - I must have renfro and hinton confused- I thought it was renfro - hinton - mackey.
some good players in that one.

I am sick of those kelce brothers.

[Kudsman]

I am sick of the NFL. I guess we can be over it together. Lol

I was at Super Bowl #1, wanting KC to win, but they lost.

I was lucky enough to go to XXXVI.

Tom Brady’s first win.

Exciting finish.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The Red Wings have won seven games straight.

In hockey a team may play up to 108 games.

I understand in a season of football a team may play all of 19 games.

That's cute.

[Burma Jones]

I think the refs got lucky. There was really no way to tell with the naked eye that Renfro touched it. Incidentally, with all the turnovers and bad play, SB V is probably the least-remembered of them all. Surprised anyone else remembers it

[MotorCityBuck]

“ The Red Wings have won seven games straight” that's true since the coaching change.
That being said I played hockey for 14 years. From Pee Wee to Travel teams. Never had a serious injury in all those years. (Getting the wind knocked out of ya doesn't count, but you always fell like you were gonna die)
Played football in H.S. all 4 years and I can count the number of injuries on both hands.
Two completely different games.
Did you play both? Just wondering as those that played contact sport at a high level generally don't make such ignorant statements.
Asking for a friend.

I liked the one where Nick Foles beat Tom Brady at his own game.

Thanks for the kind words. Writing will definitely be my retirement gig. Anywhere from 0-3 years at this point. I have vowed to retire before Trump is done with his presidency!

Don't remember the number, but the best game was the Patriots comeback over Atlanta.

We were skiing at Winter Park, left the slopes early to watch the game. I was a huge Patriots fan, mostly a Brady fan, having watched him at Michigan, already knowing he was a going to be great, having been shocked he was drafted so late.

Early in the second half, I stopped watching, thought it was over. My brother kept watching, he yelled that the Patriots just scored at the end of the third quarter, so I came back in. Most amazing comeback I've personally watched. As soon as the Pats won the OT coin flip, I knew it was over. One of the top 3 games ever.

I look forward to it. I am (re+)reading James Boswell’s London Journal this weekend, which I highly recommend if you haven’t read it. He was also a keen observer of people as are you, and I think you would enjoy it.
