Super Bowl Update
The biggest sporting event in the entire history of all sports is only two days away. Can you believe it's this close? No. It seems like months since the last playoff game. Like it is never going to happen. As if we are in some strange Twilight Zone episode where we spend the rest of our lives waiting for the game, but it never gets here because time has stopped. How long has it really been? Consider this: at the time of the AFC and NFC championship games, Howard Dean was the front runner, presumptive Democratic party nominee, and not completely nuts. YEEEAAAAAGGHHHH!!!!

According to this, the official Super Bowl website, there are scheduled to be more performers performing at the Super Bowl this year than spectators attending. For those Super Bowl entertainment fanatics (both of them) who don't want to miss a single minute of the pregame spectacular, I am sorry to report that the show has already been going on for at least 37 hours, and has already featured great performances by, among others, Tony Orlando, Sting, Roy Orbison and Elvis.

There isn't a great deal of bragging going on among Patriots fans. Sure our team won it all two years ago. Sure they have a 14 game winning streak going. Sure they're favored to beat the North/South Carolina Pumas, or whatever they are called. But, hey, most Patriots fans are Red Sox fans, too, so we don't count anything until it happens. And even then, we don't feel completely confident something won't change.

Anyway, hoping for the best, and always a bit worried, we prepare ourselves to watch the game the only way we know how: by getting completely tanked.

Go Pats!
