As you all know by now, it is:

  • Philadelphia vs New England

Let the Super Bowl hype begin!  It isn't going to be just a walk in the park for the Patriots, Philadelphia is a really good team.  Should be interesting!

Hmmmm.... I think I will pick:

  • Philadelphia vs New England ~ New England!!    smiley

Hope Gronk is back by then. It gets really intense here in New England about their sports teams, the media reports today that Gronk didn't participate in practice today.  Of course he didn't ~ the poor man has a concussion.  Take a deep breath people.....

The interesting thing will be which team is ahead near the end. If it is Philadelphia you would thing New England has the advantage because they always come back at the end. If New England is ahead near the end it will be hard to see what will happen. Philly will need to use Denvers formula of knocking Brady around and disrupting his timing.

Good luck, Joy. Picking New England!  Really, really don’t want Philly winning because they are division rivals.  

Charles - What a coincidence that you mention how NE likes to come back the last minute. Every year there is a Madden prediction and this year’s prediction goes down that way. Philly has a lead till late and then NE comes back and beats them ( like last year with Falcons).  Madden has been pretty accurate over the years. Better than most analysts.

So sorry Joy.  Your Pats almost did it. It was a great game anyway. Close score right down to the end.

a very competitive game. The radio this morning says Philly won by being aggresive. taking chances. Some even say Belichek may have been out coached.

Thanks, guys.  The Patriots were just out played by Philadelphia.  It is nice that Philadelphia has now won their first Super Bowl, though.

Yes, on to the Olympics, the Westminster Dog Show and then baseball season!!    You meant to say go "Red" Sox didn't you Cynthia?  :)

See you all next year!!
