A Perfect Sunday

Well the Patriots have one last team to spy on this year, they can peep the UNDEFEATED '72 Dolphins pop their annual bottles of celebratory champaign. I've been waiting all season to write about this, and now I can. While I would have had no issues with the Patriots winning the Super Bowl, I am tired of the Dolphins getting blasted for celebrating each year when an undefeated team has it's first loss. I do not feel this is in anyway classless. I am sure that anyone of these players would be the first to congratulate a player for besting one of their individual records.

But the undefeated season is a team accomplishment , it sets them apart from every other team ever, (except the 15-0 1948 Browns), more importantly it keeps their bond strong. These guys love getting together every year to celebrate their accomplishment, and I don't blame them for not wanting that to end.

I also believe the Patriots will have Coach Shula and his boys worried again next year. Until then Great season New England, but not good enough.

Super Freak




First off I need to handle a few things. We, (Karen, Mattie, and myself), want to express or gratitude to all of you who made a point to send your sympathies for Karen's Dad. Whether on the blog, by phone, by text, in a card, or in person they were all greatly appreciated and helpful. I also owe a special thanks to Stacy Silva for setting us up with a cheap hotel room for the week, don't know what we would have done if we didn't have a place to get away from everything.

Second, the President's State of the Union address. I sat in the hotel and took notes, problem was it was hardly worth writing about. The only thing more boring than this lame duck's speech was the snoozer of a Democratic rebuttal. The one thing I thought was interesting about it was that W continued his trend or renaming things. Last year global warming became global climate change as he finally admitted it existed. This year the term Pell Grants for kids became the new code word for school vouchers.

Now on to the purpose of today's post. We have two "super" events coming up. The Super Bowl in a few hours and Super Tuesday in a few days. My question for all of you is which are you more excited and/or intrugued by?

I am definitely Super Bowl coveraged out! I've had two weeks of it, which is way too much, and just want it to be over with. It really is completely ridiculous, Tom Brady's foot, Plaxico's prediction, WHO CARES? Let's make a big deal about the Giants thinking they're going to win, honestly what are they supposed to think, "We've got no chance, were just going for the sunshine and to watch commercials."

On the other hand Super Tuesday is going to give us a great insight into who our Presidential candidates will be and which direction our country will head into over the next 4-8 years. So obviously my vote is for Super Tuesday, of course I'll be watching both anyway. And incase you're wondering the Ohio Primary is March 4th.
