Are you aware that the single worst day of the year for domestic violence is superbowl sunday?
I don't question your data, but in this context, I think it's over the top heavy to lay them on this guy. I don't argue that it's important for all of us to be aware that there is ugliness in the world and that a disproportionate amount of it is directed at women and the powerless, but I just don't think that's going on here at all.

I think you might have started a separate thread on the topic in a day or so, as I find what you are saying educational and you may have done a lot of good. I just wouldn't have done it here.

I appreciate your good intentions, but fyi that's a myth:

Personally, I think the big question here is whether his wife is a football fan. I know I'd be fuming if I had to head off to labor & delivery at kickoff!

Hmm I guess they don't give hospital room reservations for birth?
If they did, you could wheel in that big screen HDTV into the birthing room.
Well in the worst case scenario, I guess you could TIVO the game.
Good luck with the baby, and congrats!

Hey Dank, tell you what. IF your baby is born during the game and the Pats win, don't worry. I'll buy you a copy of the DVD. Enjoy your time. My little Pats fan was born last Valentine's day during the big storm. Take it from me, it could be a lot worse.

If the baby is born on SB Sunday, and the Pats win...think of the great possibility for names and the historical significance of naming your kid Tom, Wesly, Randy, Asante, Tedy, Mike, Lawrence, Jabar, Kevin, Logan, and so forth. If it's a girl...oh well.

I think Asante would work for a girl.

So naturally we hit up training camp knowing it would be our last trip there for a couple years, and my wife managed to get Tom Brady's autograph on one of his daily post-practice "drive-by" signings. So we were convinced this would be a special season...and even more so that the Pats would be playing on Feb 3, 2008.

So now the time draws nigh, and the baby has "dropped down". So the birth is imminent. The delivery room does have a small tv, but something tells me we'll be a tad bit distracted if we're watching the game on that set.

So does anyone have any incantations for me? Or know of any beads we can wear, or anything else we can use to ward off the stork until AFTER Feb 3??

Please keep us in your thoughts fellow Patriots fans! Help us ward off the stork with your Superbowl vibes!
Your new child is worth 10x no 1000x more than a SB. I hope you realize that. If not, we have another child on this planet without a loving mother and father.

The best things in life are your family. Enjoy. Oh, you can do both by the way. Every hospital will have the game on.

Jesus Christ lighten up. Can't you see the levity in this thread??
