Unreal.

100's of thousands of marchers are filling the streets in just about
every city and town in MA today, carrying signs, chanting, wearing funny
hats and making a lot of noise.

Anti-Trump rallies, you ask?

Of course not. They are expressing support for the Patriots in
tomorrow's Superbowl game. 7th Superbowl appearance for Tom Brady.
Only disappointment is no Gronk on the field this year. Just in ads.

I have a big bet with my brother. Naturally, I took the Patriots, 'cause it seemed the patriotic
thing to do.

I am rooting for the Pats of course but Atlanta is hungry for a win.
They have only played in one Superbowl back in 1999 (and lost). This
will be the Pat's 9th time, Brady's 7th time looking for his fifth
Superbowl ring.

Harree must be terribly conflicted what with having a New England
heritage of sorts but loath to seem a patriot in any way. I'd expect
him to respond by saying he could care less.

I may check on the Stupor Bowl to see if the game is entertaining and competitive or just another snorefest.
In this area I, like most Maritimes, would support our cousins in the Boston States.
I'll have to make sure I see the Lady Gaga Show.
She was delicious in that Haunted Hotel tv series a couple of years ago.

Up to about Superbowl XXII or so the halftime entertainment consisted
mostly of marching bands with an occasional singer or recording artist.

For the most part the halftime shows have been all downhill since with a
few exceptions, IMO.

I liked the bands. Haven't liked any of the crap since.

The football game itself has been mediocre so many times they had to
do something to justify the 10 megabuck a minute the best ad spots go
for.

I spent a day with Matt Light who has three rings during his time with
the Pats. Very nice guy and a career Patriot which is rare these days.
He's also an avid hunter and shooter while running a great charity.
