SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL

I haven't been this excited about a superbowl since the last one (I'm a big Pittsburg Steelers fan – it was very gratifying to see Cower and Bettis get their rings). My psychic brain says the Chicago Bears will win in a close one, 27-24. My football brain says that the Colts will wipe the floor with the Bears 42-21. Since I'm probably neither psychic nor a football expert, I will lose on both counts, but it's always fun to guess!

UPDATE: Ha ha! Like Bev commented, the only thing I was right about was how wrong I'd be (but it *was* still fun to guess!). For those of you who live like Ted Kazinski, the final score was Colts 29, Bears 17 (at least I got the hat right). People will blame the loss on Rex, but really, the Colts were simply better prepared and a better team. I will always be grateful for a thoroughly entertaining game due in part to all the shenanigans the rain caused.

Rain did not mire only the game yesterday, though. If you listened closely, you could hear the anguished cries of all those poor sods who invested in hi-def TVs. I'm going to start an email chain letter imploring people to send squeegees to CBS. Besides simply AWFUL coverage (at one point I swear they were transmitting the game over someone's cell phone), most of every shot was speckled with rain drops on the camera lens. WE GET IT, IT'S RAINING IN FLORIDA. Now can someone go to CVS and buy and umbrella or something???
