The Super Bowl

So this weekend is Super Bowl Weekend.  This sports event will be viewed by more people in the world than any other program! Last year had over 111 million people, don’t know where they come up with this figure but that’s a lot.  Just say in, What has the super bowl become?  Some people focus on the food, which is the second largest day for food consumption in the US right behind Thanksgiving.  Some on the commercials and some actually watch the game.  There will be parties, get together and such and everyone will be having a good time.  Take a minute this weekend and remember the folks who will not be watching every second of it!  The United States Military folks.  I have a friend of mine that is an avid Giants fan and even though he is overseas he will be trying to get the game on AFRTS, Armed forces Radio and Television service.  Go Dennis! 

The super bowl is the big dance that most only dream of getting to. It is the annual Championship game of the National Football League. I think the playoff games are better than the super bowl.  If you root for my team, you don’t root for the super bowl, you root for a good draft pick!  Anyway, we are at Super bowl forty six, both teams have been there before, but should be a good game.  In Super bowl thirty two both teams met in the same fashions, with the New York Giants being the victors, I hope history repeats itself but I am going to be checking out the commercials.  The TV starts talking about the super bowl, its history, best plays etc at 12 PM, all day the TV is on talking about this and past Super bowls.  All day we are suppose to eat and when the big game hits, eyes are glued to the TV. 

I would like to see teams that have not been in the Super Bowl before play.  I am tired of seeing the Patriots, Packers, Steelers etc .  I think it would be cool to have the two last place teams in there every once in a while.  Hell maybe my Redskins would have a chance!  LOL, any way enjoy the game, enjoy the food and I hope who you are cheering on wins.  For me it will be good food, wine, good company, and relaxing, oh yeah and the game!  Enjoy, until next time.

Groundhogs day

Its Feb 2nd and this is whats making the news today, I figure they did not have anything else to report! So this is my take on it!

What is up with all these groundhogs predicting the weather?  You have the famous Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania; you have Hatteras Howard in the outer banks of North Carolina, a stuff animal in DC.  Guess he could run for Congress but that is another blog. Lol Anyway, Holy cow when does it stop? I know I missed a few but enough is enough.  Do you really think a ground hog can predict the weather?  They are rodents who live under the ground. Our meteorologist can’t even predict the weather.  They could get yesterday’s wrong.  I realize it has been a very mild winter, I mean 65 degrees in Jan is a bit much but If everyone just looked at the calendar they would realize we have six more weeks of winter.  We Delawareans know we get whacked with a bunch of snow in Feb around Presidents day. 

Ever seen the movie Groundhogs day, sure you have but let’s face it.  Some of us deal with that every day!  We do the same thing every day in and day out, see the same people, do the same job, it’s crazy.  So let’s face it, some things never change, winter is here, get used to it.  Get your snow blowers ready firewood in place, and wine by the case.  Sounds like it’s going to be a good winter, and in six weeks it will be spring. So put your big panties on and settle in for the winter we have six more weeks of it!  See ya in spring Until next time!
