Dont forget even if you hate football, some of the best (or at least the most expensive ) tv will be airing during the breaks of the game .

Cheap OT post to say GO STEELERS!!!!!
Wanted to go real bad but 3K for a ticket kept me at home with a new cam and a couple a dollars left for beer and munchies for the game.

Rugby?!? Is that the same game played by men with odd-shaped balls?

:O)

My childhood memory of the one time I played real Rugby involved getting lifted off the ground by a guy who was twice my match weight, and shaken until I let go of the ball.

Didn't play it again after that! :O)

OT: My wife just turned on Animal Planet and is greatly enjoying the "Puppy Bowl" which is a bunch of puppies they videoed running around in enclosure they built and made to look like football field.

15 min later I heard another peal of laughter and "Ohmigod! Now they have kitties!"

Oh I would be remiss if I didn't mentioned they have water bowl in each end zone and camera in the bottom of the water bowl.

The wife just said, "They should have this channel on every day of the year, but also Bunnies. It should be Puppies and Kitties and Bunnies."


Also we greatly enjoyed this news story last week. Check out the enlarged photo!

Wonder what a "wardrobe malfunction" would consist of in the Puppy Bowl...

I don't know about a wardrobe malfunction, but one of the "players" just relieved himself on the field, then the crowd of puppies promptly ran right through it! Hope they clean up at halftime.

What a mess. I'm calling the FCC.

Well done Steelers! - Did the Seattle team have oil on their hands? More fumbling than a first date!

Stevie was great, Mick was great and Aretha IS the Queen of soul! - She, and the choir, hit a key-change that I hadn't heard before in your National Anthem - anybody else get that? Towards the end. Maybe the last 3 or 2 bars? Beautiful.

Oh yes! can somebody tell me the artistic relevance and inspirational reason behind the chaps dancing with "White Sticks"? Stevie? Yes? Oh dear me . . . .

Grazie

I've got the whole thing, from pre-game to post-game, on my edit disk. Just played back her part. Key change on the final "home of the brave," Also, Dr. Hook played a slightly different chord at "our flag was still there," but not a key change. I've heard both before, but I've heard (as we all have) several hundred versions.

Still the best, IMHO, is Dr. Arthur P. Barne's version, first played by the Stanford Band, at the "Big Game" in 1963, just eight days after Kennedy was assassinated. It is completely unique, unlike any other rendition, and powerful almost beyond words.

The band and its new director also clicked with his arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner, which featured the striking effect of a single trumpet playing the first half of the song, joined later by soft woodwinds and tuba, and finally bringing the full power of the brass only in the final verse. Played at the "Big Game" against Cal, just eight days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Barnes said "I've never heard such a loud silence."
