Out of the Blue

Happy Groundhog Day! Happily Punxsutawney Phil has predicted an early spring this year. Staten Island Chuck says the same thing, so the onset of warmer weather in these parts is confirmed by science. Hopefully the clairvoyant woodchucks in your area had similar good news. Speaking of which, do they celebrate this in Australia and other south of the equator locales to predict the timing of autumn? Never pondered that before. In other Groundhog Day news, Ned Ryerson says it's the best day of his life. Maybe because he's been revived for a Super Bowl ad. Oh yeah, that's the other thing: today is Super Bowl Sunday. I'm already dead and buried in our Playoff Pool, so I'm just hoping for an entertaining game. Here's hoping your festivities for the "big game" are excellent, and you don't suffer any beer or chicken wing related calamities along the way.

I made the mistake of watching Shannon and Skip on the Super Bowl pre-game special today. Skip Bayless has left me dumbfounded by making the argument that Dak Prescott is a better QB than Patrick Mahomes. He argued this for a good 15 minutes.
Yeah, I understand the idea of wanting spirited debate to have an entertaining show, but Bayless is often ridiclous in his opinions. His shameless promotion of Dallas is obnoxious at best. And this is from someone who has been a Dallas fan since 1972. Another example of bad sports TV is Tony Kornheiser on Pardon the Interruption. A guy who makes me feel like I am a Millennial. I've watched the show for years and for the last decade have been hoping for the heart attack / stroke which would force him into retirement, but it hasn't happened yet unfortunately.
