pretend you are the commissioner of the NFL.
would you get rid of that extra week before the Big Game?
No, it has built the Super Bowl into the biggest cash cow in sports and Tag is all about the money.
Also , it gives the teams an extra week to R&R so hopefully they will be at their peak.
they say it helps the injured guys recover a bit more, but at the same time the healthy guys are getting rusty.
last night they must've been running outta material, bcos they were showing clips from a 1980's larry bird vs julius erving fistfight...
Sure...it gets tedious, but if it was held the week after the championships it would be like another playoff game.
Didn't they try skipping that extra week one time?
All I know is that I'm gonna be jonesin next Monday...and no NHL to take the edge off.
.................. only 49 more hours 'til kickoff..................zzzzzzzzzzz
I'm feeling a little of that superbowl buildup right now...oops, false alarm, it was just that burrito I had for lunch.
is there any minutae(good scrabble word) of your life you don't share with us Kicky?
Football doesnt exist in our world. My son said it the best. "Its like watching someone else play chess"
I love football but please let's get the season over.
Yeah, so we can get our focus back on the real sport...BASKETBALL!!!!
zzzzzzzzzzz............ is it ON yet??!!!!!!!!
(back to sleep...)
Honey-chile left to pick up the wings from Lefty's wing house. 25 honey bbq and 25 raspberry chunky garlic...ooh la la. I'm getting the shrimp on ice and the cocktail sauce ready. There's chips and spinach-artichoke dip and herring in sour cream. Rolled up prosciutto and provolone for the triscuits. Greek olives and Sam Adams. It just don't get any better than this.
last year our local wing place was booked solid on SBsunday, so our stuff has been sitting in the fridge since yesterday... i'm partial to the boneless wings -- no fuss, no muss
Next to Thanksgiving, Super Bowl Sunday is the holiday most focused on food.
Next to New Year's Eve, Super Sunday leads in highway accidents and highway deaths.
The building anticipation of Super Sunday enriches merchants who stock team memorabilia. Also appliance stores who sell and rent ostentatious television sets. Also tavern owners and hotel keepers.
All because The Independent Public has been told that this particular game is important.
It IS important Noddy. This is for bragging rights to the universe. I'm holding my domain.
(psst -- its your dominion that u should be holding...)
Remember a few years back the Damn Fool Feminist who announced that more unfortunate women were beaten on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year?
That was a lie.
On the other hand, great numbers of red-blooded, narrowed-artery American football voyeurs are in danger of deliberately being fed high-cholesterol diets as a reward for their Pack Identification.
I have to hold my domain lest I trips over it.
Yeah, what farmer said...HEY!, I think mine's stirring!
Stumble It!
