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 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. |

Isn't it technically against the rules to broadcast or reproduce images or video from professional sporting events? Sure we all do it, but the cell phone companies seem proud they have given us the option to.

What else is there to do on Super Bowl Sunday?
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mo···episodes
BTW, who gives a damn about soccer? It's soo slow and low scoring. Gah. I used to play a sweeper and I still hate watching the game. It's akin to golf. Slow and boring.
Call me when the world decides to field a real FOOTBALL team.

most likely that will apply for reproduction of another station's transmissions. As for broadcasting I seriously doubt someone will bring a laptop only to have it jacked. Of course you will stand out with a sore thumb as well.
Frankly I don't think this rule applies but it does on certain ways scratch the surface a bit.

Well have fun doing it then. However at my age I have no intention of going outside and rolling around in the snow.
And of course as you have no idea who I am and what I do for exercise then I suggest you keep your personal remarks to yourself.
Thank You
