Mind you I could really give a shit about the game and who wins now that Detroit fucked the dog again. But it is a fun excuse to get together with friends and hang out for the evening. Watch TV, eat good food, and so on.
Going down to the neighbors. Mike and Jodi Ben.

We have kids, and I don't have a lot of friends anyway, so I'll just be watching from home. Maybe I'll make my self some of "Micah's famous buffalo chicken dip**" and maybe a batch of those little cocktail wiener dogs. -- but then again, I need to get some blood work done on Monday for a doctor's appointment this week so maybe I won't overdo it on the fatty foods. I'll probably send/receive about 50 text messages with my cousin every time there's a great/horrible play or penalty/bad/missed-call. At least, thats what happens most weeks of the season anyway. He might be at a party or something though so maybe not.
*well, 7 of the last 13 years at least.
**ok, maybe not my recipe (http://www.franksredhot.com/recipes/franks-redhot-buffalo-chicken-dip-RE1242-1).

Was supposed to go to my friends party, but wife is out of town, kids have a cold AND pink eye. So yeah, spending it at home trying to get kids in shape for Monday.

Videoing other team's defense coach hand signals, coaching his player's to violate a rule (to be fair that could have an honest mistake), and now the deflate thing.Since it it is a west coast vs east coast or ugly ass uniform vs serial cheater game I'm meh about it. I guess I'll go ugly ass uniform west coast.

It was a good day. Tomorrow is my birthday so I got a new coffee maker and Mario bros for the wii. Ended up playing in the snow with the kids for a few hours and playing a few hours of wii. Then ended it with the Super Bowl. Pretty damn good day if you ask me

What a crazy ending though huh? I thought for sure the Patriots were going to loose. Especially after that crazy catch that got Seattle to the 5 yard line.

On the interception, I thought the play call was fine. Not great, but fine. Sounds like they were considering the run from 3 WR set (my speculation), but New England stayed in their goal line defense (which according to one random twitter comment hasn't happened in 240+ similar situations this season). So at that point the advantage is to throw. Also, given the time and one timeout you can't run three times, so you'd have to throw at least once if you don't get it in. If you throw on 2nd down, then the Patriots still have to defend against both the run and pass on the next two downs.
Despite all that, it would have probably been better to run on second down. Start with the goal line offense and run. Less chance of turnover, sack, penalty. If you don't get it in, that's not bad because time runs off the clock and leaves New England with no time left to get a field goal to tie. You just try to push it in again.
Also, the 49ers are still the greatest dynasty ever...
