Stop it already!  Just play the damn game already before anyone that really doesn’t care, won’t care.

Spoken like a true New York (Jersey) Giants football fan, don’t you know?

Wait, if you haven’t already had enough I think tomorrow’s pre-game show is about six hours long.  What can they possibly talk about?  Surely it won’t be about the commercials.  Though THAT might be an interesting topic of discussion, rumor, and dare I say, innuendo?  There I said it!  So what!  So what?  I don’t know.  But, I do know I like saying that word.  Innuendo.

So, the game will officially start at a bit after 6:00pm Eastern Standard Time.  By the way, why does all time being quoted in the United States start with Eastern Standard Time?  Don’t people in the other time zones feel a bit slighted?  Like second class citizens?  (umm, or in their time zones, THAT’s the time that’s quoted first?  I guess if I travel real fast to catch the same commercials in other parts of the country…. I will finally find out for sure!  I think that’s more exciting right now than waiting for the game to start).

And, please, don’t even get me started on who’s playing.  Remember?  Giants fan?!  Let’s go Yankeeeees!!!

If you have to watch (can you imagine being so bored by all the pre-game hype that you actually fall asleep just BEFORE kickoff?), do yourself a favor and turn off all the pre-game stuff; load up on refreshements… and stuff yourself just as the game begins.

Do you remember the year that they created a silent 30 second television spot for everyone to go to the bathroom lest they miss any of the commercials?  THOSE were the good old days!

Game on!

• And So the Conversation Turns Only because I really don't know what to write about today.  It's almost like today didn't happen.  Perhaps it didn't.  What happened by you? I look at the clock, and realize it's time to make the donuts, errr, time to post on my blog.  Or on Facebook,  On on my......
• Wednesday Blooms Everyone's happy.  So it seems.  But the Market tanked.  I really do not know why.  Some will say it was profit takers... and some will say they're jittery and don't know what to expect in the coming days, months, and years. I say the time is now.  I say that......
• And So The Conversation Turns The clock ticks on... birthday's come and birthday's go.  Tommy's extended birthday celebration ended with an ice cream cake, and a trip to the movies to see "Madagascar:  Escape 2 Africa".  A full review is on the Squirrel Forum.  Tommy will reach double digits next year.  I remember my 10th......
• Trivial Matters Well, it matters to some, or many, it seems.  People love talking about trivia, and asking and answeing trivia (not trivial) questions. There was so much demand that I was "forced" to open up a board for just this topic on the Squirrel Forum. What is it about trivia that......
• I Want to Get Away... Not so much do I want to hide... But, I sure would like to get away... on a vacation.  Too much cold.  Too dreary.  Where are the smiles?  Where's the warmth? Though hiding out might not be a bad idea either. Why do we want to hide?  Do we have......

• Super Bowl Pick (and Personal Finance Links) The Super Bowl starts in some 45 minutes as I start to type this. When I was watching the Patriots beat the Cardinals by 40 points in week 16, I couldn't have imagined they'd make it this far. As a Patriots fan, I don't really have words to describe how......
• The Super Bowl XLII edition of the Carnival is up A big thank-you to Broke Grad Student for hosting this week's Carnival of Debt Reduction.  It has a Super Bowl XLII theme.  This was put together over the weekend because I had forgotten to send the posting information until this weekend.  Thanks for bailing me out BGS! The Editor's Picks......
• Why I Hate The Advertising During The Super Bowl I know I am going to get a lot of flack for this, but I do not really like the Super Bowl. It's not that I don't like football; I think it is an OK game to watch, but I prefer watching my Red Sox to any other sport. But......
• Super Bowl History [/caption] Origin: The Super Bowl was created as part of the merger agreement between the National Football League (NFL) and its competitive rival, the American Football League (AFL). After its inception in 1920, the NFL fended off several rival leagues before the AFL began play in 1960. The intense competitive......
• Super Bowl Party Versus New Year's Resolution Okay, the Super Bowl is set. Israel's New York Football Giants versus the undefeated and unstoppable New England Patriots. I don't think the Giants have a chance, but I didn't think they could beat the Buccaneers, the Cowboys, or the Packers. Now that you know who is in the......
