...or greek Super Bowl...

 

Is the Super Bowl today? Sports free zone here (but not coin free!).

 

Super Bowl is not a sport but ancient mathematics...

 

I didn't know who the competing teams were until yesterday. That's how much I don't care. Also not having a TV helps in my ignorance.

Anyhoo, horseback riding is a sport. Philip II of Macedon had all of his coins struck with a horse-themed reverse after winning the Chariot Race in the Olympics of 359 BC. So much for modesty.

 

how pretty! congrats!!

 

14-0 Atlanta over New England 2nd Qtr... Excellent!

 

It doesn't matter. It's FOOTBALL!

 

I've had more fun in cemeteries than at football games.

 

Come to the highland games...

 

End of Gaga´s show. Not bad. Time to go to bed!

 

Sounds kinky to me.

 

My wife is home and I'm now watching the game. I had no idea who was even playing; she had to tell me. There's beer, so that's good.

 

What a game!!!!!!! Sorry Atlanta fans, but that was one of the best games I've ever watched.

 

Yes, best Superbowl EVER! Amazing comeback, and I was not rooting for either side.

And my wife won some nice bucks in their family scoring pool!

 

I've never been a fan of either team, but you have to love a QB that has been able to do what Brady has in his career. For that fact (and a couple of other reasons), I was cheering for NE. WOW! What a game.
