Have to say, I'm a girl, so I don't get all of the playbook/stat type of football. But I really do enjoy watching, and I pick up enough just by watching. I was right on my prediction for the game earlier, though I was kind of hoping the Hawks would pull off the upset. Oh well.

I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I'm rooting for the Patriots tonight...I'd love to see them go the perfect 19-0. I wasn't really paying attention to the whole "Spygate" thing, so it doesn't really bother me. The "running up the score" argument has no weight in my opinion. There was a good article on Yahoo! recently about why people love to hate the Patriots...one reason was the "holier than thou" attitude, which I could see. I don't follow them close enough to notice that...and I don't live in Boston, so I don't have to deal with the fans should both teams get the championships...and I'd rather the football team got it than the baseball (I'm a HUGE Rockies fan).

Should be a good game, at least. Going home to watch as soon as I get off work...

early on with the play-action pass pass on fourth down, and they wind up getting a TD a few plays later. Hmm, looked like Garrard's knee was on the ground. Too bad Belichick didn't challenge it.

but I feel the need to weigh it against seeing the the little number "180 comments" that routinely shows up per quarter when you do it the other way.

It's kind of like running up the score...:)
