Happy Groundhog Day! If the groundhog really does need to emerge from his hole for his weather report today, he'll need a snow blower, as we're in the middle of a pretty harsh nor'easter right now, and there's deep wet snow everywhere, so I don't need to check the news to know that nobody's seeing any shadows around here today, regardless of what Punxsutawney Phil says.

Speaking of checking the news, this one time I'll finally remember to honor the wishes of a long-time reader who was time-shifting the playoff games. I kept spoiling outcomes by mentioning them here, but I can discuss the Super Bowl just as easily without explicitly naming the winner. Of course congrats are in order for the winners and their fans, but the ending of that game will perplex me for the rest of my life, as I still cannot believe they called that pass play, and I don't think I will ever be able to understand it.

Also congrats to Darkv for winning our playoff pool, I had a shot at coming in second, but the last game crossed me up. I had been on a pretty good roll, as this was only the second Super Bowl I predicted incorrectly since Super Bowl XXXVI (the other was when I incorrectly picked the Colts to beat the Saints a few years ago). Hopefully I'll start a new streak next year.
