My wife's watching it. I catch it when I walk through the room, but I really prefer college football to pro.

Found a great guitar clip from the Lawrence Welk show. The thing I find most outstanding is that in places it sound like Rock and/or Roll.

Good for you. Get in the garage and make something cool.

I like foose ball about as much as I can stand rap music.

In other words, I don't.

I don't mind the game all that much, they just spend too much time between plays, standing around, patting one another on the backside, etc. Now Aussie rules footbals the action never stops and after they tackle the player they go after his family and friends.

Cardinals aren't playing so I don't care who wins.

It's on right now here at work, but I was just doing research on e-readers. Jackweeds is all I can think of. Between device manufacturers wanting to lock in file types and publishers wanting to make books unable to lend out or give to someone else and customers asking the same stupid question over and over again, I give up for now.

Not a football (or sports really) fan.

We did take the advantage of going grocery shopping while everyone was home watching though. I counted 7 people in the store. It was great.

I just watched The Who's set on Youtube.
They're taking a lotta heat over on the Telecaster board, but I thought the lads rocked.
I hope I'm still out there in 20 years with that kind of energy and attitude!

I'm a big Jets fan,but did not even know they were in the championship game last week until it was over,so that will tell how much I'm into the NFL.I'm still living in the NYJets Vinny Testeverde years of the late 90's.Great,but heartbreaking for Jet fans.I guess I never recovered.

LOL! I'm still in the Joe Namath years! They got pretty far this year. I saw that Broadway Joe was at the game.

Oh yea!I enjoyed those Glory years with Broadway Joe a lot.I was not born yet,but I would do all I could to relive them in books and ESPN Classic.Same with the Mets of that era.That short Testeverde period was certainly the most exciting time since the Namath era.Lot of similarities,just not the same outcome.It was always thrilling for me to go to Shea Stadium for a Mets game and imagine Joe & the Jets playing.

I fell asleep, and when I woke back up the came when from 1 point to 14 in the other direction, with 2 minutes to go.

I'm more upset that I missed Family Guy. I saw right up to the first commercial, then it was lil' miss sandwoman spreadin' her love on me.

They should have used better songs - they used nothing from their formulative early days. The big hits - Pinball Wizard, Baba O-Riley, See Me Feel Me, Won't Get Fooled Again, and 1 or 2 more I'm missing.

How about - Can't Explain, Happy Jack, The Kids are Alright, Magic Bus, Substitute

Hi Everyone!!!

In Canuckistan, we can't figger out how they award TDs when they stop after only 100 yards ...

BTW, I missed the whole show. I saw some commercial with Pete and Roger
playing big Gibson acoustics. Is that what they did at show time???

That would've been kewl!!! Especially if Janet Jackson popped in (or out).

IIRC guitars are cheaper here as well. (Not that I'm glad of the fact.)

I loved that show. Too bad it got the shaft, and was cancelled early.
SCI-FI did a tv movie and tied up some loose ends, but it wasn't the same as if they gave the show another season or two.

If you dig Farscape....give Firefly a try. Another show that they didn't give a chance. There's only 13 episodes, but they are great!

No Superbowl for me. Not a sports fan....

Alternated between watching movies, and playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare on the Xbox..

Oh, I'm a big fan already of Firefly thanks! Loved the movie, too - I don't know if they will do another but it was an awesome show. Looking forward to Nathan Fillion playing the Green Lantern in the upcoming film.

My wife and I have watched the super bowl together for years. Almost like a date. We fix some nice food, not chips and dips, open a good bottle of champagne sit back and watch. We usually don't have a dog in the hunt but we enjoy the evening. This may have begun back when we lived in Dallas during the 90's and the Cowboys were in in the super bowl a few times.
