Super Bowl

“Super Bowl
It's not a game, it's MONEY.
Jacksonville awaits defining moment
"Since 2000, Jacksonville has invested $10 million, raised from private donors, in upgrading infrastructure and security. The city hopes for an estimated $300 million economic return."

"Most people know it's in Florida, but they don't know where,"”

“It's cancelled!”

“I've got $50 on a board. My numbers are 0 and 3. Woo Hoo!!”

“Of course hosting the Superbowl is about money... why else do cities try to bring these large sporting events to their cities? It's a huge influx of cash into a city.”

“Sports is about money. I did not know it was a secret.”

“The Patriots have arrived.

What a zoo. The traffic has already started to suck here at the beach. In February no less.

I am not looking forward to my commute this week.”

“They jacked up the gas prices more 15 cents a gallon around here, citing an increased crowd surcharge is legal. Bastards. That, and many restaurants around here are doing likewise. Surcharges at restaurants. Sheesh.”

“Capitalism is the life blood of Democracy.

Making money is a good thing for the economy.”

“SKY.NET Department of Transportation Traffic 17 Cams

Is that humanpackmule leading the pack?”

“Yep that's me trying to get around those slow moving New Englanders.”

“Nowslimmer it's very funny that they don't have any cameras on the downtown roads; that's going to be one giant cluster---k.”

“This is shaping up to be a real shoot out!

“On the way in to work this morning a police motorcade closed the onramps to traffic on the biggest east west commuter road so the Patriots could get somewhere. Not a big deal though. They were there and gone.

Traffic suddenly got light today. I'm guessing a bunch of people decided to take vacation this week. I know of at least 4 people at work who are doing that and are spending it doing all the Super bowl related stuff.”

Sir Paul's Playbook
By TIM CARVELL


This year's halftime entertainment will be provided by Paul McCartney, who will entertain for the entire 12 minutes and whose every word and move will be vetted and reviewed by the league.

Re: Super Bowl halftime show

THANK you for coming by this morning; my wife was very impressed to hear that I got to meet a former Beatle, especially one who isn't Ringo. She wanted me to ask if you remember her. She saw you at the Milwaukee Arena in 1964. She says she screamed "Paul!" throughout your show, and that you looked over and winked at her. She was wearing a red hat. Anyway, if you do remember her: She says hi.

Moving on. We've reviewed your set list and dance routine, and we have just a few notes:

We like the simple shirt and slacks that you have chosen as your outfit. However, to prevent even the slightest possibility of a "wardrobe malfunction," we were wondering if you could maybe wear something extra over your outfit? Or maybe under it? Like an extra pair of underpants over your usual underpants? Or maybe a sweater, and a second pair of pants over your original pair of pants? Nothing too noticeable - just a little insurance. I'm sure you understand.

"Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da": Is there something you can say after "life goes on" that's not "bra"? The word still makes us a little nervous around here. Thanks.

"Blackbird": "Take these broken wings and learn to fly"? It's a lovely image, Paul, but: Children are going to be watching this. No parent wants to have to explain injured birds to their children, especially not on Super Sunday. Can you sing around it so the bird's wings aren't broken? Maybe the bird could take its "bucket o' wings" and learn to fly? KFC may pay for the product placement. Just a thought.

"I Saw Her Standing There": "Well, she was just 17, you know what I mean"? I am fairly certain that I do not know what you mean, but I do know that she'd better be at least 18. Make that 21. Or 25. She was just 25. That works fine.

Sorry to circle back to this, but we've been thinking more about your outfit. Maybe you could wear both the extra underpants and the sweater and extra pants? You know, just to be safe? Also: Some of us are a bit worried about the hip motions while you're dancing. They seem a tad suggestive. Could you maybe dance without moving your hips? Or your feet? You may, of course, continue to use your arms.

"A Hard Day's Night": We're a bit concerned about the line about how, when "I get home to you, I'll find the things that you do, will make me feel all right." That is upsettingly vague, like the things that she does might be rated, you know, more than PG. Maybe you could sub in something more specific and G-rated, like: "But when I get home to you, I find the board games we play will make me feel all right." It's the same general idea, I think you'll find.

"A Day in the Life": "He blew his mind out in his car"? No, Paul. No, he didn't.

"Get Back": So let's see: Our hero, Jojo, "left his home in Tucson, Arizona, for some California grass," and our heroine, Loretta Martin, "thought she was a woman, but she was another man." And here I thought Ringo was the funny one! You really had us going for a minute there! (Um, if you weren't joking: No.)

Just got back from a meeting with wardrobe, and they want me to ask: How would you feel about a suit of armor? As I understand it, you've been knighted, so you probably have one lying around, yes? If not, we can provide one for you. Just ask!

Well, that's all we've got for now. If anything else comes to us, we'll let you know. Can't wait for the big show! Rock 'n' roll!

“~snort~”

“Tree--
You are right, that was a rotten thing to do to a kid (especially one who was paralyzed!)... If he didn't plan give it to the boy, he should have said something (at the time) to the effect that he could wear it for a little while, but that he would send him something later. (maybe his own, smaller necklace?)

To make it seem like a gift and then to take it back is terrible!”

“maybe Culpepper should take the kid to Jax for the game. Then, they'd be square.”

“Limpy, the kid lives here in Jacksonville.”

“On another note, they just interrupted regular broascasts locally so Paul McCartney could give his spiel. I turned on PBS.”

“even better for culpepper!”

“The Playboy party is just getting started, and the SI swimsuit party started at 7. There were some major effin' fireworks going off to the north about an hour ago; they shook the house! The only places north where they would do that are Hannah Park, about 3 miles north, and Mayport Naval Station, about a mile or 2 north of that. It's kind of fun monitoring the goings-on for the SB.”

“So here's a silly question. What time is the game? I'm trying to decide which party to go to and trying to gauge my schedule tomorrow.”

“I wish I could be more specific Ruby, but the big hand/little hand concept of time seems beyond your grasp.”

“Oh puhlease, bacpack.

Just a simple answer would suffice.


What time is the game?


If you won't tell me, I might be forced to turn on the television for the first time in three weeks.”

“A F T E R S U P P E R”

“It took you more effort to employ the space bar and your caps lock key than it did to have just answered my question directly.

Whatever gets you off.”

I did not know if you were trying to fit your party schedule into the pre-game introductions or the kick off half an hour later.

I don't think you do either.”

“Whatever. Have a great day tomorrow with all your friends, bacpac.

I know I will.”

“If you can figure out what time supper is, I am sure you will.”

“You might want check out FOX.com if you really have a tight party schedule.”

“SEAHAWKS baybee !!!”

“God I hope this game doesn't turn out to be a stinker. It is nice to see a couple different teams in it though.”

“I think the Boise Pistons will be up by π over the Toronto Marlins at the end of the 7th period.”

“*YAWN*

LOL”

“Woo Hoo Hawks!

There's a Trojan getting a Super Bowl ring, no matter which teams win. But I still want Lofa and the Hawks to win.”

“Party at my place!”

“Go niners..oops I mean Go Seahawks.”

“Now I know why the Carolina Panthers didn't make much of an effort to get to the Super Bowl....


...it's in Detroit this year. WTF? Who in the hell wants to spend a week in Detroit in January???

“"But it was Cowher's decision to wear white that caused the biggest stir in a town where it's difficult to drive past more than one or two houses without seeing a black and gold Terrible Towel or banner. Cowher became perplexed at the constant questioning about the issue at his weekly news conference, finally saying, "You want to know what shoes I'm wearing, too?"

"I didn't think it was that big a deal what jersey color you're wearing," Cowher said. "Maybe that's just me, OK? To me, if you're not playing at Heinz Field it's an away game. I think anyone can understand that rationale. If it's a sensitive issue to people, I'm sorry."

Sensitive issue, maybe. But could it be superstition?

"We've been playing well last three weeks on road, and this is another fourth game on the road -- I don't know if that's superstitious," he said."

Steelers are already messed up with that announcement. Hehehe. Steelers are so not going to win.

“STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-LERSSS!!!!”

“No surprise that the Steelers are already confused about whether they consider themselves the "home" team (which they were). Seahawks have confused the opposition all year.”

“Ya can't say we aren't getting into the Seahawk spirit around here...DOH!

“Wow, the Super Bowl Committee must have put in a call for "perfect" weather. It snowed about 2-4 inches by my house last night. Hopefully, a little covered the city so that it doesn't look quite as gray....

I'm cooking a killer batch of Chili for my friend's party.... (a re-creation of a slightly overly hot batch... no... extremely overly-hot batch that I cooked 2 weeks ago. ;-)

YUMMM”

“Keys to the game:

Can Walter Jones neutralize Porter which will demoralize the Steelers?

Will the Seahawks special teams coverage not break down?

Can we not fumble away the game as they tried to with the Redskins playoff game?

If the Seahawks take a big lead, will the referees try to keep the game close with bogus calls?”
