What a game!!!
Sigh... context for the uninitiated: The Super Bowl.
Surely no-one but the most die-hard Patriot fans would begrudge the Eagles that win. They were tremendous. On paper the game should have been a walk in the park for the Patriots, but the underdogs came out fighting with such spirit and courage. That first TD, one of the best you’ll ever see, set the tone, and their relatively unknown QB Foley playing against the almost legendary Brady played the game of this life. A couple of close calls by the referees – which I am not expert enough to have an opinion on so can only bow to their greater knowledge (though no doubt many Patriot fans won’t) – helped, but all in all, as a relative neutral, I have to give the honours to the Eagles as deserved winners.

Had I not incidentally seen it non TV, I would not have known what you mean. At least half of the world needs a little more context.
As for the flying part: I would have liked to do that yesterday, but it was a little too cold. Like an eagle is nice, but I don't have much of a runway. So it has to be more like a dragonfly.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

It's some strange slow-motion Rugby that they play briefly between ad breaks in the US, I think.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Rugby with Body Armour...

But it isn't.... even with all that "armour" there are serious concerns about the long term health effects in the game. Just about every contact they make would be not just illegal in rugby, but get you banned for life. Those guys are big and heavy, and they crash into each other hard.
The only resemblance to rugby is the shape of the ball.

Yeah, but as a former Rugby player who used to sit opposite a former US Football player I would tease him with that.

If the opponent gets up, he wasn't hoit hard enough!
I didn't see all of the Super aaaaaaaaaabowl, but I went to the Texas Bowl last month and watched tTexas anhilliate Missouri 33 - 17!

That pretty much sums it up.
The ad breaks get longer and longer, and soon, the entire game will be played in under 10 minutes, with a TV viewing time of 2.25 hours.

Just use an ad-blocker. Problem solved.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.

That's the trouble with pre-judging things... they aren't always what you think they'll be. I don't actually watch American football as a rule, but the Super Bowl is different... everything about it turns it into something bigger than the sum of its parts, and last night's game was a classic. Really fast and exciting stuff. End to end action, and you never knew up until the final throw of the ball who would win.

Well I didn't pre-judge, I merely told you about my experience of watching a live SuperBowl.

Fair enough. But it mirrors the commonly held perception of the game over here, which doesn't do it justice. Much like how Americans view cricket, unless one is prepared to try and understand the game properly, it's probably best not to have an opinion of it.

As someone who lives in the area where they held the fiasco, it was much more than just 5 hours of torture.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

It was a great game. Been an Eagles fan for a long time and it was exciting to see them play a great game and win when it really counts.

"Super Bowl" wouldn't mean anything to the uninitiated either.

Awesome possum!!!

Agreed,
My only regret is that Brady didn't spend enough time sitting on his butt in the grass.
But the
Philly defense almost didn't save the game. Fortubatly their offense player well above their ability!
