Any response to my e-mails yesterday concerning your website malfunctions?

From downstairs, Mick, that Pink Floyd video was outstanding. Gawd, I love English rock. And roll.
Poor Freddie, getting blitzed and lamenting his so-so chili. I have enough culinary problems in the kitchen without getting soused!
One of my good friends is bringing chili to the SuperBowl Party this eve. And as his girl is a “healthy eating” type and vaginarian (LOL), it will be meatless. Jeez. We’ll see.
I care very little about either team, but will be pulling for the NYG. I just hope that North Platte’s favorite son, Danny Woodhead, has a great game for the Patsies.
My call – NY 28, NE 24…

Zamvet: Had vege lasagna at Christmas with spinach instead of meat…not bad. Just think of it as spinach ravioli on the flat! Take your own meat sauce…we do a marinara style sauce (thick) w/Italian Sausage.. that should solve your dilemna!

Oh and Pink Floyd rocks! Saw them at Symphony Hall back in the early 70’s and about 5 times since…once back to back at Grant Field…for free!

Just like last time, the New York football Giants are getting hot and healthy at the right time. You have to go with the better defense.
G-men – 24
Patriots – 20

Road, I’m only being a smartass. Though I hail from the Midwest – the land of steak and potatoes – I’m down with anything yummy, meatless or not!
And I was at one of those shows at Tech. The concert itself was incredible – the Division Bell tour – but no beer sales at Bobby Dodd? Sheesh.
Peadawg, if it’s Madonna, she still looks pretty hot. And that voice of her’s is even hotter…

I could say that I have no preference, which is true at this point, however, after the kick off I always find myself leaning toward one or the other as my favorite. Go Falcons next season. maybe???

My dog of a team was eliminated from this hunt back in week 11 or 12. Or maybe I should say “back in the year 2000 when we last had a competent quarterback”.
Anyway, good column today, Jay, but did you have to go all squishy at the end?

Or maybe I should say “back when our fake mascot was named ’snowflake’” in case any of you remember that.

Sounds good, Road. Luv me some cheese cake!
Oh and as to my prognostication on the final score, I wouldn’t wager a thin dime against the line on that outcome. Here’s to hoping it’s at least a decent game. So many of them aren’t…

Looks like Eli Manning jerseys are outselling Tom Brady jerseys in Indy by 3-to-1.
Did you know Tom and Gisele are the richest celebrity couple in the world, even outpacing Brangelina?

Today’s paper reports that over $4 million was diverted from a reservoir project and bond money to projects in former Gov. Perdue’s home town. Jay when, in the past, you’ve asked us to suppor a tax increase for some project, I’ve complained about just such bait and switch tactics as this. You have generally dismissed me saying there are built-in guarantees that the money will go where it is intended. What say you now, Jay?

Jay, if NY gives Brady time, they’re lost. Gotta keep the pressure on. Watch the tight ends and backs underneath.

Who cares, I am boycotting the Sooper Bowl if the Falcons aren’t there. But just wait, next year the dirty birds will overcome their only two minor deficiencies…no offense and no defense.

As usual, Jay Bookman finds himself on the LOSING (wrong) side of the argument.
But I admire you picking your hometeam

Super Bowl Sunday and someone’s talking about soccer of all things. If I’m ready for a snooze I’ll be sure to turn on the red devils and the blue lions. That’ll put someone to nappin doubletime.

Great match, though Kam.
That last goal by Man U was a beaut. Though that first PK was a gimme.
Rooney is one of the more famous footballers over there, isn’t he?
I get to see so little Premier League action that it is a real treat for me. BTW, why are the Red Devils so reviled?

I’m in trouble, guys. I’ve been predicting a similar score to Jay’s all week. I’ve got NE (-2.5) and Under (55).
I know that everyone’s saying that Eli is hot, but I don’t see the GIants scoring a lot of points today. I think 2 weeks is long enough for the NE D to come up with a good scheme. On the other side of the ball, I don’t think NY is going to completely shut down Brady and the NE offense.

No-neck Rooney is known non-affectionately as Mr. Potatohead.
Man U is the Dallas Cowboys of the EPL. You either love ‘em, or love to hate ‘em.

The Super Bowl “contest” has almost become secondary ………. a “rock event” where there just happens to be a football game going on.
Has anyone thought of just having a half time event for these guys to perform?
