Why does it need such a Bovine theme?
From the quoted article:
"Cingular Wireless Beefs Up Network for Super Bowl XLI"
"The company's network team has set up two cell sites on wheels, or "COWs", in the stadium parking lot."

Da Bears will win.
Why? Their uniforms are better looking. The Colts have rather boring uniforms. It's a female thing. Not sure if works for men. |

I wouldn't be at all surprised if these two "Colt" trucks would be transferred to the recently hit(Friday) central Florida disaster area and not be at the Super Bowl at all. The tornadoes and storm killed a lot of phone lines in 4 counties in central Florida and the area has been declared a national disaster site.

| guess the NFL has given up banning cam phones....
last summer they were exploring the idea of banning any and all recording devices including camera/video cell phones from playoff games including of course the superbowl.
i hadn't heard anything since, and i guess they rightfully gave up on the idea. |

said by zipjay :jesus people its just a football game Exactly. Why are people even on the phone anyways? Shouldn't they be watching?
I'm willing to bet 99% of conversations consist of "WOW, z0mg I'm at the Superbowl!! LOOK FOR ME, I'm the ity bity dot with hair halfway up across from the second McDonalds sign!!! Yeah, I know... isn't that cool?" Or other worthless banter.

I agree. Personally, I have not watched professional team sports, since 1987. Just seems boring and waste of time. |

said by zipjay :jesus people its just a football game Amen! But, I'm old enough to remember a time when phone calls were usually important, we didn't need a lifeline to buy a roll of toilet paper and we went to a ball game to see the game. |
