Don't know why you are so hyped up about this game.

The positive of the high-powered offenses in which both teams will pull everything out of the bag will be negated by a geriatric half time show and the continual crap about New Orleans. I'm tired of hearing about it. It was a tragedy and I've been there and have friends who were directly affected. In spite of the media's attempt to damn the city for its attempt to recover, the city has been healing ever since.

However, these alleged "journalists" moved on until it is convenient for them to use the city's misfortune to their advantage even though they refused to reveal the cause of a major portion of their problems. For the sake of these fine people, leave them alone and allow them to once again thrive.

Nor do I! It ain't no rugby and sure ain't no softball!
Yesterday on the just started SixNations-Cup we've seen the game between England and Wales on tv! No Superbowl can match that game.

Today my son and I will go to our rugby-field to see our U17-team, who do exceptionally well this season. Second place in competition, untill now.

Oh, rugby.

For a minute there I thought you were refering to the tough, manly sport of lacrosse. Now, that I would be interested in seeing especially with Six Nations players.

Irish,

Since you're living in the oversee colony, you might be forgotten that the UK contains more than one nation: England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
Add the the two best main-land european rugby-nations (Italy and France) and let them play each year for the SixNations-Cup. A super bowl in Rugby!

Oh, no, I have not forgotten that the UK is multi-national. But in North America, Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy is known (at least to those who care to learn their history) as the oldest participatory democracy on earth.

Couple of interesting reads:

The Six Nations: Oldest Living Participatory Democracy on Earth

Iroquois Confederacy (American Indian confederation) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia

BTW, there are many "foreigners" who know more about American history than most citizens of the US.

Well, it certainly was a good game and the rhetoric was suppressed once the game started.

I like the on-side kick to start the half.

Agreed on all counts. Best time to pull the on-side is when no one expects it... like the half time kickoff.

But that 1/2 time show was a complete embarressment (to those of us who used to get pumped up by listening to the Who).

Some musicians get better with age, but on the whole I haven't seen too many mid 60 year old rockers who can put on a show like they did in the mid 60's.

I heard some of the audio replayed on the radio this morning. Seemed to sound better than it did yesterday. I think it was so bad because we had to look at them.
