Football is one of those sports I know soooo little about - and at the same time, have very little interest in. However, I realize that the majority of my threads have been mostly for the girls - you know, pretty posts! Therefore, I feel I owe it to you guys after 4 1/2 years, to do something you like - so let's talk football today. (Or rather, you talk; I'll just do what you do when we talk....nod my head every once in a while and say, "Uh huh," and "Yes, dear."
I know SuperBowl XLI is coming up on Sunday, February 4th (I looked that up!), and these four remaining teams face off this Sunday. Only one game away from the SuperBowl for each. Will the Saints triumph over the Bears? Will the Patriots beat the Colts?
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS NEW ORLEANS SAINTS CHICAGO BEARS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Which two teams do you think will make it all the way to Super Sunday in Florida? Which one do you want to win? Which one do you think will win, and which one will be left crying when it's all over?

"Half this game is ninety percent mental" - Danny Ozark, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies
A guy took his girlfriend to her first football game. Afterward he asked her how she liked the game. "I liked it, but I couldn't understand why they were killing each other for 25 cents," she said. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Well, everyone kept yelling, 'Get the quarter back!"

The three bears had been having some trouble recently and ended up in family court. Momma and Poppa bear were splitting up, and baby bear had to decide who he was going to live with. So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear to see what he thought about living with either of his parents. When he asked baby bear about living with his father, baby bear said "No, I can't live with Poppa bear, he beats me terribly." "Okay," said the judge, "Then you want to live with your mother, right?" "No way!" replied baby bear, "She beats me worse than Poppa bear does." The judge was a bit confused by this, and didn't quite know what to do. "Well, you have to live with someone, so are there any relatives you would like to stay with?" "Yes," answered baby bear, "my aunt Bertha bear who lives in Chicago." You're sure she will treat you well and won't beat you?" asked the judge. "Oh certainly," said baby bear, "The Chicago Bears don't beat anybody."

A football coach walked into the locker room before a game, looked over to his star player and said, "I'm not supposed to let you play since you failed math, but we need you in there. So, what I have to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right, you can play." The player agreed, and the coach looked into his eyes intently and asks, "Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this. What is two plus two?" The player thought for a moment and then he answered, "4?" "Did you say 4?" the coach exclaimed, excited that he got it right. At that, all the other players on the team began screaming, "Come on coach, give him another chance!"

A young man was very excited because he just won a ticket to the Super Bowl. His excitement lessened as he realized his seat was in the back of the stadium. As he searched the rows ahead of him for a better seat, he found an empty one right next to the field. He approached the man sitting next to the empty seat and asked if it was taken. The man replied, "No." Amazed the young man asked, "How could someone pass up a seat like this?" The older gentleman responded, "That's my wife's seat. We've been to every Super Bowl together since the day we were married but she has passed away." "Oh, how sad," the man said. "I'm sorry to hear that, but couldn't you find a friend or relative to come with you?" "No," the man said, "They're all at the funeral."
