"Super Bowl Sunday"

Super Bowl Sunday has arrived and now is gone. What a game! As Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin and the rest of the G Men put an end to New England's hopes of completeing a perfect season.

Bill Bellicek, the Patriots coach, was so devestated at losing that he left the field with one second left on the clock. Methinks the media will roast him. Even tho' the game appeared to be over after the last ditch "hail Mary" pass that went awry, the Officials said there was one second left on the clock. The captain of the ship is supposed to go down with the ship.

After shooing the photographers and fans and the rest of the clutter back to the sidelines, Eli made it a game when he kneeled down. Game over. Accolades to follow.

Some are already calling it the greatest game in NFL history. And Eli and Tom now have that huge monkey off their backs. Good for them. A person can only stand so much negativity.

I celebrated the win by broiling a ribeye. Add baked potato. And salad. And voila. There it is.

Post Super Bowl on the Fox Network, "House" is attemting to save a female doctor's life. Via webcam. Because the damsel in distress is living in Antarctica. Stay tuned.

Well, the hoopla is over for another year. Me and the rest of the football fanatics out there will have to wait until August to get our fix again. The good news: March Madness is right around the corner; the NBA Finals begin in April and don't end until late June; and baseball will begin ( sort of ) at the end of the month.

I didn't mention the NHL Playoffs; NASCAR; and golf and tennis and tiddlywinks; because I don't give a rat's tush about any of them. Watching cars go around a circular track; guys putting from the greens; and icy playing surfaces leave me limp interest-wise. Sorry Tiger, Fireball Roberts, and Bobby Orr. The latter two names from the 60's. I honestly don't know any of today's NASCAR drivers or hockey players.

Super Bowl Sunday lived up to the hype. And the commercials were interesting and fun. My favorite was Will Farrell for Bud Light.

Withdrawal time, v.c.

P.S. My sis is now on the Obama bandwagon. She even wants me to read his new book. Huh? I could see me recommending a book for her to read. Result?: Negative! Ah, liberalism. Can't live with 'em; can't live.... er, without 'em?

P.S.S. I did know Wayne Gretsky but he retired many moons ago. Eh?
