Don’t much care who’s on the talk shows today. If you care about the Super Bowl, kickoff should be somewhere around 11:30 PM GMT. But then, if you care, you probably already know that.

My goodness, all this football stuff has overwhelmed the talking heads. Now I won’t know whom I’m not watching. And, I was going to suggest PJ, that you add Fareed Zakaria’s GPS on CNN to the Sunday list. I’ve watched him a couple of times. He seems to discuss issues more thoroughly and the guests don’t talk and yell over one another.
I guess hubby will be watching those football guys running around on the teevee. Oh well.
Wow, my Sunday has a hole in it.
I really don’t much care about the SB this year or in many recent years but we have had some better games lately. My initial impulse was to catch a movie and get Chinese food, maybe trying to recreate a Jewish xmas tradition. However, a couple of friends who are equally disinterested are planning to get together to jam and then watch the game so I will be doing that instead. O’Bama did not invite me.
When I grew up in W.Va. we were NY ‘football’ Giants fans because they had a linebacker from WVU named Sam Huff. CBS News did a special about him once which was unusual because he was a defensive player and TV was not as sports saturated back then. It was B&W and Mr. Huff, #70, was W. If pj were so old he would have probably been a Browns backer since they had Orange alums James ‘Jim’ Brown (best ever) and Ernie Davis on their team. Brown went on to tremendous fame springing from his appearances at the Apollo Theater and a movie role with Raquel Welch. Happy African-American History Month!
By all rights we probably should have been Browns fans since we were in the region of the state that was more Ohio inclined than the northern panhandles where Pittsburgh was the ‘big city’.
I decided that if I was going to watch the game I need to root for someone so I will be pulling for the Steelers, old school NFL and owned by the prObama Rooney family. I also liked their new coach when he was on with Olbermann the other night. I don’t want to endure the hosannas that will be flying if the other team wins.
If anyone’s desperate you can mouth the name and imagine what pj would have said…

Thanks Vernon, it’s good to know what I’ll be missing.
Frank Rich has a good column today:

I’d say ‘missing’ is being very kind and generous.
Kyl suggested that he sees the centerpieces of the current legislation — rebates to the working poor who do not earn enough to pay federal taxes, the creation of new government programs, and substantial aid to the states — as inefficient and unnecessary. He hinted that a Republican filibuster is likely unless the bill is rewritten to focus on tax cuts and some kind of housing bailout.

The Steelers win. The owner thanked O’Bama. :banana:
How come Jeebus doesn’t get blamed when his guys lose? I could not hear the entire post game show but I did not hear anyone mention the lord, not even the Kurt Warner in defeat. Did he just feel completely forsaken? :jesus:
I had a drinking game if the Cards had won for mentions of the lord. PTL that they didn’t because I am sure many participants would never have made it home.
:alc:
I made a lot of pretty decent sangria and found a recipe for a Peruvian green garlic sauce I am going to tweak a bit to perfection (I hope).
