Football weekend here
This is the best weekend that will be seen in each NFL season. New England just beat Denver and in what was a pure football showdown. Before this is finished Seattle and San Francisco will take each others pulse, with Seattle so benefiting from its stadium and it designed acoustics.
Not that there is much of professional sports viewing here(that includes many colleges in some major sports), the focus is primarily on finals, or semi-finals, or any major event. Today was a day to watch a game, and when I turned the television on there was no real favorite. But then I saw Belichick and remembered him completely and more importantly what I already knew was that I wanted Peyton Manning to win. There is a soft place in my heart for his hometown New Orleans personally, and his younger brother's erratic play had somehow won two Super Bowls while the steady brilliance of Peyton only one. Say it's the teams they played for, but Peyton has one last choice here to win a Super Bowl.
Now back upstairs to the television for the second game.

I was pulling for Peyton, too. The pre-game shows made it clear that his life will be completely over if he doesn't win another Superbowl.
