It's been a busy week at work for me as I worked over 60 hours this week so haven't had much time too think about the game. Once I finished up work for the week this afternoon, my wife and I went to get groceries and I heard two people talking about the game tomorrow it got me so excited I wanted to tackle the chip display featuring Matthews and Polamalu...

If I feel the need for a "fix," I come out here and bloviate for a little while.

Have you ever had a TV come up broken on a big game day? That would be not come up actually. A TV of mine died at the beginning of a Celtics playoff game, but that was so long ago it had vacuum tubes in it, which you could fix yourself. Problem wasn't a tube though.

What would you do if your TV died? There was a power outage in my neighborhood the day/night of the 2008 ALCS seventh game. Went to my son's place ~ 45 miles away and watched the Sox lose. I don't think I could watch a big game of one of my teams at a neighbor's house because where I live there are no Boston/New England fans. They'd think I was insane.

How's this for suck:

I have to wait until 7:30 PM to begin watching this one with the DVR.

My son has something he absolutely must do and we watch games together. So my whole crew is going into a "cone of ignorance" and we start late.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Yep. I will be "live" by some time in the 4th quarter, I would think.

I've done this before.

The hour of not watching is horrendous but being able to miss commercials and blow through half time is pretty good.

Hey, my son is my son.....

I AM READY!!!!

I believe the team is ready, I hope the stadium shows up, I know we we all will be psyched.

Brady's numbers against this team are not as good, I believe he will have a great game, but he needs some playmakers to also show up.

It is ~32 ish here, snow, the beer is in the fridge, the Goslings is ready, should i be lucky enough to crack it.

Let's go gang, lets match their intensity.

I don't go more than five minutes without thinking about it. And this has nothing to do with confidence level as I am extremely confident. I just can't wait for this game to happen and it's WAY BEYOND NORMAL.

Tales of Pats obsession before this AFC Chhamp game go in this thread.

I lost it a long time ago, if you happen to see it let me know.

There was something wrong with him during the game. He's seen spewing Gatorade gulps shortly after swishing it in his mouth and another time he's seen sucking on a towel. Also, another player in the huddle had to verbally relay the plays to the offense once or twice because McNabb was having a hard time annunciating. That's maybe where the "McNabb puked during The Super Bowl" thing got it's legs.
He was under the weather for whatever reason but there's no evidence he ralphed.

Troy Brown has stated that McNabb was dry-heaving on the field.

You win the "Are You Losing Your Mind?" pre-game ritual contest!

What a great way to kill these endless hours, going frame-by-frame through Super Bowl XXXIX to see if somebody dry heaved or went for the full technicolor yawn. Bravo!

Is your name Abraham Zapruder?
