A pub, a soccer game

How British is that? Manchester United v. Blackford Rovers, for those who follow the game. Man U just scored, and it appears the crowd at the Cat And Canary are Man U fans.

Update: For those who care, Manchester United won 2-1. Fun game.

Super Bowl XLIII

I didn't have a dog in this fight, so I decided just before kick-off to root for the Steelers for the simple reason that I identify more with Pittsburgh than with Arizona. Nothing wrong with Arizona, I just don't get out there much. But I kind of like Kurt Warner, so it was a tough call.

Anyhoo...I thought Pittsburgh's James Harrison would have been a good MVP pick after that 100 yard interception return for a TD, but that cheap personal foul late in the game - punching a guy on the ground then shoving him back down - negated everything. I thought he should have been ejected, and this guy does, too.

Congrats to the Steelers and condolences to the Cards...it was a great game.
