That Little thing on Sunday

Unless you're totally oblivious, you might have realized that the Super Bowl is this Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles finally got past the NFC Championship game take on the New England Patriots. Gothamist is totally flummoxed as to which team to pull for. The Patriots and the Eagles are both rivals of our local football teams, which have not come close to sniffing the Super Bowl since 2001 when the Giants were embarrassed by the Ravens.

For the betting man, the Patriots are favored by seven points. Gothamist hasn't had much luck gambling this year, so we won't be wagering any money this year. That said, it's hard not to think the Patriots will win it again. The most dangerous player on the Eagles, Terrell Owens, is hobbled by a bad ankle, while the Patriots seem to be unstoppable in the playoffs.

Kickoff is around 6:30 eastern, and half time will feature a performance by Paul McCartney, hopefully without a nipple slip. Who do you like to win the game?

Re: That little thing NEXT Sunday.

Jen and Tien, have you lost your minds?? Have you seen the New York Knicks play? Did you check out Friday's game against Sacramento? I just did! Can't you have this thing in a field and have everyone watch grass grow instead?

Hey, maybe some of those Beatles fans will want a glimpse of some good old Paul McCartney nipple. Will we have geriatrics screaming and fainting in front of the stage, too?
