http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews....&src=rss&rpc=22 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Indianapolis Colts' rain-swept victory over the Chicago Bears averaged more than 93 million viewers on Sunday, making it the second most-watched Super Bowl and third most-watched U.S. telecast ever, Nielsen Media Research reported. The 3 1/2-hour CBS broadcast of the National Football League championship from Dolphin Stadium in Miami drew nearly 2.5 million more viewers than last year's Super Bowl matchup, in which the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks, Nielsen said on Monday. In terms of Super Bowl games, only the 1996 Dallas Cowboys' victory over Pittsburgh posted a bigger TV audience, averaging 94.8 million viewers to rank as the second most-watched U.S. TV broadcast in history. The February 1983 finale to the long-running CBS sitcom "M*A*S*H" still ranks as the most watched American telecast ever, averaging nearly 106 million viewers.

I think it is quite likely that the Chargers and Patriiots could also have beaten the Bears. In general, I think the AFC has the superior quarterbacks and teams. It definately was quite a show. Having a Super Bowl in a rain storm, together with that half time show in a rainstorm, was quite a sight. I don't think the rain made a difference in the outcome of the game, except for the number of turnovers. I wonder what they would have done if there were a tornado or a really bad rainstorm.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...i-sportstop-hed David Haugh Gunslinger Grossman shoots his team in foot Published February 5, 2007 MIAMI -- While the Indianapolis Colts began celebrating their 29-17 Super Bowl XLI victory Sunday night over the Bears, Rex Grossman navigated his way off the field after shaking hands with one Colts player and quickly headed down the tunnel. This week of Grossman's life couldn't end fast enough for him. He knew. The Colts knew. Everybody watching the game in the rain at Dolphin Stadium and most people in the TV audience of 1 billion knew. "We missed some crucial plays, and that's the difference in the Super Bowl," Grossman said. But more than any other play, one throw cost the Bears their shot at glory. One throw robbed Chicago of its chance of finally putting memories of the 1985 Bears on a shelf for posterity. Sure, the Bears had issues against the Colts with their run defense, problems with the offensive line and breakdowns in the secondary. But all of those contributing factors to the loss might have been moot if not for one Grossman pass with 11 minutes 59 seconds left in the game. Grossman's decision to attempt such a throw given the situation could be described best as reckless. Ill-advised. Even ignorant, to use the word Grossman himself introduced into Super Bowl week. The sideline pass Grossman floated to Muhsin Muhammad in the fourth quarter changed the Super Bowl more than any other play. Muhammad wasn't that open, and the Bears didn't really need to take such a risk at the time. It turned out they couldn't afford one either. It's one thing for Grossman to be a gunslinger, but not if he is going to shoot himself and his team in the foot.

Huh??? Either you are talking above me, or you are talking silly. I vote for the former. I vote the later. Efforts to sound overly intillectual usually result in incoherent silliness. Sometimes people get away with it, but anyone calling herself a CHICK is definately not an Einstein. Further, equating Roman Catholicism to Castro's Cuba is more junk. Why not relate Islam to Castro's Cuba while you are at it?

Most likely there would then be a terror attack on Mecca. The Irish would be in charge of it.

The Super Bowl Theory says the S&P 500 should rise in 2007 no matter who wins. http://www.businessweek.com/investor/conte...week+exclusives

Oh go fondle your member. You talk as if the Superbowl is keeping people's attention away from you. Well Good. What possible of interest could come from an old stinky flea bag.

Off topic??? Die??? The SuperBowl is coming. The SuperBowl is coming. After Monday or Turesday it can die. Until then, go study a political book.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBN...UE&SECTION=HOME http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nmZBUzrSdQ By DON BABWIN Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) -- Sunday's Super Bowl has triggered questions that haven't been asked here in years. Like, if the Chicago Bears were 14 inches tall would they still win? And would a big bus loaded with Bears cross the finish line first in the Indianapolis 500? If you know the answers - yes and yes - you probably remember Bill Swerski's Super Fans on "Saturday Night Live" in the early 1990s. Knocking back beers, they took turns extolling the virtues of "a certain team from a certain Midwestern town that starts with a C, ends with an O and in the middle is HICAG." But even those who don't recall the beefy guys - made so by a diet of beer, ribs and Polish sausage - can't escape their rallying cry of "Da Bears." In Chicago and around the country, "Da Bears" are everywhere. Radio hosts can't stop talking about "Da Bears." The words "Da Bears" are irresistible to newspaper and Web site headline writers from all over the United States and even the frozen north of Canada.

I'm pretty sure marajuana will be legalised in my lifetime, but prostitution I'm not sure about - and that's a shame because nobody is dying from the former. Nobody is dieing from marajuana, but they are dieing from prostitution (aids, occasional murder). I agree that prostitution should be legalized, and taxed. Postitutes should be liscensed, and cloistered in red light districts. It is a win win for the government and the postitutes. The government can become their sympathetic pimp. BTW, I heard Vancouver prostitutes are the most attractive in the world. It sounds like a pretty open city at present, even without legalization.

Huh??? Either you are talking above me, or you are talking silly.

I am curious, what does your wife say about your situation. What do your inlaws say. Where do you work, or do you. Does she work. It seems that Quebec does not like immigration, even though you are technically not an immigrant. They seem to have found a simple way around discrimination prohabitions. Just do it. I was talking with a northerner who lived in North Carolina for eight years. He said that the southerners would prefer not doing business with northerners, but there were so many northerners living in North Carolina, that it really did not matter. That is probably what will have to happen to Quebec. The anglophones will have to move there enmass, and bring the jobs with them for the anglophones.

Most likely you do not disagree with the US about something, you disagree about everything. Your intillectual focus in life no doubt is to disagree with the US. Your silly post about supermarket tantrums just reinforces your empty tank in the grey matter department. To say the US was wrong in deposing a cruel dictator because his killing innocent people was ok is simply stupid. Basicly, that is what you contend, so suck that up.

And where do you get your mushrooms from? It is almost funny listening to American bashers, they can be so out of touch with reality. By their outragous comments they demean their credibility.

It used to be baseball, but now the NFL is king.

As far as Iraqis killing Iraqis this wouldn't be happening without the invasion by Bush. I don't see how you can decry responsibility for these deaths. Decry responsibility???? I will have to look that one up. That one isn't a rhymy word. But if you mean deny responsibility, yes on behalf of the United States of America I will deny responsibility for Iraqis killing Iraqis. I think any idiot can understand why. He or his representitive (Saddam's) who pulls the trigger is responsible for a death.

You have to give it to that Saddam though. He certainly stood on principle. He could have had a decent life in some country like Marcos did, but NOOOO. His sons died by bullets, and he died by a rope. Before the attack, Dan Rather gave a rather sympathetic interview where Saddam offered to duke it out with Bush. Both Dan and Saddam are history now.

I played High school football, and understand the game reasonably well. My question is, "What on earth does the rest of this thread have to do with politics?" I am happy to see that there is interest in Canada for American Football, even though the (Toronto) Globe and Mail ignores it. Since the forum is Canada/US relations, and American Football has the national sport of the US, I can not understand what your beef is.

One of the fun things to do is google the newspapers of the cities in the playoffs, and read what their sports sections have to say about things. Apparently Schottenheimer will be around for another season, even though AJ Smith (the GM) would like to see him gone. The problem is he is under contract for another season. http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/charg...-1n18marty.html January 18, 2007 For the better part of three days, a city's disappointment was tinged with wonder. Now fans' grieving can continue unfettered. The speculation has given way to a comfortable certainty. K.C. ALFRED / Union-Tribune Marty Schottenheimer will return as Chargers head coach in 2007, but he declined the team's one-year, $4.5 million contract extension for 2008 that included a $1 million buyout. The Chargers announced yesterday that head coach Marty Schottenheimer will return for the 2007 season. While concerned by Schottenheimer's epic playoff failings, team President Dean Spanos and General Manager A.J. Smith decided continuity was most important for a team that finished with the NF.

American Football will be played in other countries, including Canada. http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20070109/1034446.asp Bills face shot at game in Europe By MARK GAUGHAN News Sports Reporter 1/9/2007 The Buffalo Bills did not get any national, prime-time exposure in 2006 but they have an outside chance to get some international exposure in 2007. The Bills are one of six teams being considered as potential home teams for a regular-season game next season in either Great Britain or Germany. The other teams that could "host" the game are San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Kansas City and New Orleans. The home team would be giving up a game in its own stadium, meaning it would play only seven regular-season home games. The Bills released a statement Monday saying they would approve if the league asked them to move a home game. "While the NFL makes the decisions regarding the playing schedule, the Bills certainly are supportive of the international regular-season game initiative," the statement read. "If our team is selected to participate, it would be great recognition for our city in an international forum, not to mention the tremendous experience it would serve for our players, coaches and staff." The site of the game will be announced on Monday. The two teams competing will be announced during Super Bowl week. The "visiting" team for the game will not necessarily be one of the six teams that could host the game. Every team in the league ultimately will get the chance to go abroad under a plan approved by league owners in October. The owners agreed to take up to two regular-season games a year outside the United States, with the possible sites limited at first to Mexico, Canada, England and Germany. There will be one this coming season, and Mexico and Canada were eliminated from consideration with Monday's announcement. New NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has pushed the idea, saying the benefits of reaching an international audience outweighed the negatives of some teams having to give up home games. The NFL intends to plan the games so that teams will rotate over a 16-year period, with each team playing outside the country twice over that span, once as a visitor, the other as a home team. That means a team would lose one home game during that span. In 2005, the NFL staged its first regular-season game outside the United States when Arizona hosted San Francisco in Mexico City. A crowd of 103,467 packed Azteca Stadium, the largest crowd for a regular-season game in NFL history. When the plan was OK'd in October, Mark Waller, senior vice president of NFL International, said the international popularity of certain teams would not necessarily determine who goes abroad. He said people in foreign markets were more concerned with simply hosting a regular-season game, rather than exhibitions in which the best players tend to see little action. NFL Europe currently consists of six teams, all in Germany.

What is an illegal war. War is War. There is no supergovernment to legislate laws regarding War let alone enforce them. The UN is a forum with very little teeth, and what ever teeth it has had has usually come from the US. As far as phony war on terror, someone destroyed a major American property, that is War. Not facing up to it will not make it go away, it has been tried, not facing it as Clinton did. As far as abuse, I and most Americans have no sympathy for scumbags. The American people would like out of Iraq though, but there is no marching in streets against scumbag abuse, let alone for Bush impeachment. The hundreds of thousands of lives??? Most lives lost are Iraqi killing Iraqi, both pre and post Saddam. Not American killing Iraqi.

Not everyone agrees that TO will be in Dallas next year http://www.cowboysplus.com/columnists/tcow...aw.3698c1a.html Ultimately, there was no need for popcorn. Ultimately, there was no show. In his biggest game and what surely has to stand as his last game as a Cowboy, Terrell Owens caught two passes for 26 yards. He was a nonfactor.
