    It only came out this week that she was sick and also the reason why he dropped the Deflategate appeal as all the media calling her son a liar and a cheat were negatively effecting her.

    Terry Bradshaw just said on Fox just there that she has been sick for 18 months...horrible thing to be hanging over somebody. Hopefully she pulls through.

    Ya it only broke this week that she had an undisclosed illness. Must have been hard facing the media all year and playing with that hanging over him.

    Nerves only kicking in now. I really hope we win. Trying to decide whether to wear the home or the away jersey like it's going to have an impact on the outcome :o

    Beers and food all ready to go. Really hope this game lives up to what it could be and hopefully the Patriots come out the right side of a shootout.

    Worried about how many weapons that the Falcons have on offense. Not sure you can shut them all down.

    Going for Pats to win 31-24

    What is your problem with Skip Bayless all about pal?

    I think he's a charlatan, but really it's the format of that show and the contrived "battle" over every issue that bother me.

    I have to be up early for work so I'm sticking to light beers. Ten in the fridge. Slow cooker full of beef stew hopefully be ready for half time, and in the meantime I've got sriracha barbecue chicken, stuffed jalapenos, and mozzarella sticks.

    The sad thing is I'm watching the game on my own. Herself will be around for the second half but this gluttony is a solo run.

    Ray Lewis will be a first ballot hall of famer and he has a shady past to say the least, yet TO isn't a first ballot and has done nothing off the field. The HOF can forget the off the field stuff when they want to.

    Between BBC and Sky, which one broadcasts with the original US commentary and which dubs over it with Brits?

    Excellent, cheers. Was it the same last year? I could swear I remember having to switch channels a few times to find the original US commentary

    "Defer the choice to the second half."

    You had one job referee. One job.

    George Herbert Bush is looking frail. But he and Barbara are only recently out of hospital.

    Christ Bush Sr has got old.

    Poor fecker couldn't even flip the coin.

    Them being wheeled out is one of the most bizzare openings to a sporting event i've seen.

    Newbie question: what does this mean? i.e. Does it mean they get to pick which side they face in to for the second half? or does it mean they get to decide if they kick or receive for the start of the second half?
