Superbowl!!! Superbowl!!! After all that’s been said and done, now it’s time to put everything aside.Tonight’s the night. Superbowl 42 is Football history in the making. The Giants are no wallflowers, they come to play the NFL biggest game and win. I think the Patriots understand this, but not so much the fans. If both teams play at their best, the Giants will lose, but we can’t count on that. I also think it will all come up to the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, and will be determined by a field goal or a single touchdown.
So for the last time this season GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!

 After a week of holding out hope of buying a Wii anytime in the near future, I’m spent. I know from my quest that I am not alone. Hell, I’ve run into a lot of the same moms desperately hoping to appease their whiny kids by waking up at ungodly hours and schlepping out to the nearest Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Circuit City and any other promised mecca just to secure within their tiny, tight grips a new Nintendo Wii bundle for a mere $250. Having wasted my Sunday morning high-tailing it to every electronics/technology superstore around and being met with the same bemused reaction ad infinitum from every salesperson, I’ve started to catch a bit of the anti-Wii. There’s only so much flaunting and teasing one company and one product, for that matter, should be allowed. With the new Playstation 3 valued anywhere from $400-$500 and XBox 360 at $350, game consoles are the hottest ticket around this holiday season and they don’t come cheap.
But not coming at all?
Conspiracy theorists and other people with way too much time on their hands aside, I’m not of the mindset that Nintendo is holding out on us, more that they simply haven’t manufactured enough Wiis to fill the supply end of their high demand. The fact that the search for the Wii has borne the brunt of every late night talk show (if there wasn’t a writer’s strike) and DJ’s AM joke doesn’t discourage me. If anything, it compels me to push on in my search. The reality being no one relishes healthy competition more than myself. I get that glazed, demonic look in my eyes and march to the possessed beat of a win-at-all-cost drum. But there is no winning with the Wii.
I’m self-defeated at the moment. Angry at Wii, at Bill Gates for his damn Xbox 360 (completely unrelated). Incapable to discerning if I even want the Wii so much anymore, or I just can’t stand to not finish something once I set my mind to it. I may be feeling anti-Wiiish at present, but much like the initial hurdle of running from mile 7 to mile 8 when training for a marathon, this might be more of a mental obstacle than anything else. I might wake up tomorrow with renewed hope, but for now I’ll stick with the odds of the Patriots beating the Steelers this evening. Those are odds which will more likely play out in my favor.

  “I don’t know how you measure levels of being deaf, but we couldn’t hear anything out there.” No, it’s not a part of a war veteran memoir, nor one of a demolition expert. This quote belongs to New England Patriots QB Tom Brady, talking about the crowd noise on the Sunday game in the RCA Dome Vs. the Colts. Yahoo! reports that The NFL is looking into allegations that the local team piped in noise during the game, to help distract opponents when the other team is on offense. From what I hear, it’s not the first time this is happening. If one rule fits all, the Colts should be punished the same way the Patriots were punished after the ridicules Spygate thing with the Jets.
