Would that be Reggie Possum, tight end out of Nebraska, just off the injured reserve?

Teddy was cute but I did not see any quills on him, a psuedopine?

I hate the Giants, go Pats!

I'm much more of a college football fan, but once the Cowboys are out of it, I go for my former home team, NY Giants.

Not to mention that even the commercials have sucked lately. I may take a pass on this one, and I'm a football fan.
My thoughts exactly.

DW is totally crushed and I will sulk about the Pats loss (again the Giants), but both teams fought hard and the Giants earned the win.

Congrats to you NY fans...

Congrats to the Giants. I thought it was a great game even though I was rooting for the Pats. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. I would love to see a rematch in next year's Super Bowl.

Did one of the quarterbacks have some kind of iPod touch device on his forearm? At one point I saw him flip open something.

Maybe he was just tweeting (IN SUPRBOWL HOPE 2 WIN).
