What are your Superbowl plans?  What's your prediction and why?

I apologize for my holier than thou outburst on the Superbowl.  I find myself watching it with my husband and enjoying Da Bearz lead. 

I still feel that it is a horrendous waste of money that could be used to help others, but when anybody plays their hardest and does their best, it is to be celebrated.  This is our version of the "games" at the Coliseum in Rome and as I said before, (different take) nobody gets killed.  This is no different than the World Cup in soccer - futbol.  Since it is truly American and I bleed red, white and blue - I will standby it and defend our freedom of choice to entertain ourselves as we choose.

So, I thought I would let my Vox neighbors know that I am a bit of a hypocrite and apologize for it.

1. There is no way that the actual play in the game can live up to the hype. 

2. The US of A should be mightily embarrassed by the amount of money that is wasted on this day.  Think of all the good it could do if all of this money was donated to children's charities here and abroad. 

3.  It is a ball game and unless the fans go berserk, no one will die because of it. 

4.  It makes rich people richer  and I don't see how that is helping anyone.

So, in answer to your question, I'll probably be reading a book or working a puzzle. 

If I have a preference, it would be for Rex Grossman to get the respect he has coming.  That said, the Bears should win so Grossman can be vindicated.  He is a decent role model.
