Football is over

Football is over, meaning we're about two weeks away from spring training. But before we return our sole focus to the National Pastime, we have a couple more thoughts about Super Sunday.

Watching the Saints topple the heavily favored Colts was remarkable. Christine compared it to watching the Rays beat the Red Sox in the 2008 ALCS. Maybe, but I prefer thinking of it as the 2001 Diamondbacks beating the Yankees. Or the 2003 Marlins beating the Yankees. Or the 2006 Tigers beating the Yankees. Or anyone beating the Yankees.

When the game ended, Van Halen's Top of the World played in the stadium, prompting Christine to say, "Why is it playing? The Phillies didn't win anything today."

I didn't win anything either - screwing up my picks for the Super and Puppy bowls. Christine didn't choose between the Colts and Saints and neither of her pups won either. We can't believe Jake won it.

As I was writing this, The Jetsons Nite Out was on. That's one of my favorite episodes - George and Mr. Spacely sneak out to watch a football game, played by robots. Oh well, enough football talk. On to baseball, played by humans.
