Football Game? What football game?

First off, I would like to congratulate myself for two reasons this morning. One foreven being able to pry my eyes open this early in the morning after last nights celebration of the demoralization of BJ Penn by George St. Pierre. Congratulations GSP! And two because sometimes I am SO smart. 4th round TKO!  Oh yeah, everyone told me I was crazy and GSP couldn’t TKO Penn but he made HIM QUIT and that’s the best thing he could have done. But of course, the celebration was cut short AGAIN by the UFC and letting Thiago Alves in the ring after George just went through “the top contender” but that’s griping I’ll save for another day. Onto more pressing matters of this little football game.

So I hear this little contest today is actually pretty popular?  Between the American election and the Superbowl, I don’t think I have even seen a news story or TV commercial for any other product in the last 2 months AND I LIVE IN CANADA.  No wonder they charge $2.7M for 30 seconds of commercial during the Superbowl, they haven’t shown an actual commercial in a month and they need that ad revenue baby.
