Quite possibly the biggest sporting event in the USA is coming up on Sunday. It’s Super Bowl 2017, and as another season comes to a close, the New England Patriots will take on the Atlanta Falcons at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Order up a dozen wings and ask yourself: are you ready for some football?
Will we catch a glimpse of President Trump on the side lines this year? Mr. President has connections to a number of the Patriots, which has some wondering if he’ll be a fixture on the side lines or anywhere at the stadium on game day. We’ve seen his hair blowing in the wind at several Patriots games but according to reports, it doesn’t look like he’ll be in attendance. He’s got much bigger fish to fry not to mention the security risk that would create. Could you imagine the chaos?
Who are you cheering for and will you be making a friendly wager? Football is serious business in America and sports betting stats spike during Super Bowl season. As for me, the Chicago Bears didn’t even come close (shocker), so I’m neutral. If you’re interested in another opinion or one man’s strategic method for placing a bet, check in with Brandon James as he gives football fans his view in a recent LSB article, ‘My Opinion and Four Bucks - NFL 2017’. He’s cutting it close but he’s chosen a clear winner. Want to know what his prediction will be? No spoilers from me. You’ll have to read all about it to find out.
Most importantly, will you be drinking the NFL’s official beer? It’s Bud Light, for those of you who don’t know. I’m more of a Miller Lite fan myself but that’s like arguing over Coke or Pepsi and we all know that Pepsi is best.
Well, LCB’ers, tell me who you’re betting on, what you’re drinking and, oh, don’t leave out the details of any good squares you bought.

You know what, the ways the world have changed can seem surreal if you grew up a handful of decades back. There was a t shirt kids used to wear when I was in middle school back in the seventies...in New England.

You know what, the ways the world have changed can seem surreal if you grew up a handful of decades back. There was a t shirt kids used to wear when I was in middle school back in the seventies...in New England. The shirt had the patriots logo and said, "I gave the Pats the pat on the back", which was kind of a way of saying nice try boys, better luck next year. That team from my younger years never won and nobody believed they ever could or would. But back in those glory days very few people believed an african american man would ever be president, gay people would have the right to marry like anyone else, the Soviet Union would dissolve more or less peacefully, and the hottest capitalist economy on earth for many years in a row, would be one ruled by a communist dictatorship. That last one is the funniest to me. The best capitalists are of course the Chinese. China being a one party communist state with the highest annual rate of economic growth rate for many years running. Higher than that of any nation on earth. And goodness knows what will happen next with THE DONALD in office. There could be HUGE changes afoot already. Makes me wonder how weird it will all seem in 2060, if I happen to somehow live another fifty years.

I just watch for the commercials :) Bovada has a fun Super Bowl party sheet where you can watch for silly things to happen during the game. Kinda cool and should definitely make things more interesting.

I live in Georgia, soooooooooooooo, I'll be sittin on the sofa with Joe, waiting for the halftime show, ha ha ha......... Just kidding! You do realize that the Atlanta Falcons have never won a Superbowl! They had only one previous appearance in a Superbowl, 18 years ago, Super Bowl XXXIII, in 1999, the Atlanta Falcons...
I live in Georgia, soooooooooooooo, I'll be sittin on the sofa with Joe, waiting for the halftime show, ha ha ha......... Just kidding! You do realize that the Atlanta Falcons have never won a Superbowl! They had only one previous appearance in a Superbowl, 18 years ago, Super Bowl XXXIII, in 1999, the Atlanta Falcons took on the Denver Broncos. The Broncos took that Superbowl with a 34-19 victory over the Falcons. A sad day indeed. The Falcons now have a second opportunity to grasp this elusive title they have never had before. Of course I'll be rooting for the Falcons, but risk money and actually bet that the Falcons are gonna win, well.................... I was born at night, but not last night, know what I'm sayin! Now, about the beverage question. My Joe will be drinkin his favorite beer, yes froggy, "It's Miller Time!" Me, I don't like beer, period. I'll be drinkin a nice Pinot Grigio, to each his own........
