Lowest rated Suprebowl in 7 years.

I know I watched the Puppy Bowl instead. Again.


I watched the halftime show and even
that sucked..


2 years now I tuned out. Would be more but I figured watch 50 and watched the one in NJ to see a cold-weather SB. Football hardly keeps my attention anymore. If I paid attention, teams would just be bets to me. No loyalty to anything beyond a point spread.

If I was offered a million $, I couldn't name
both teams who played. I know one was
NE, the other one I have no idea.

Perhaps all of us live in a cave of our own making. Some of us have a cave of great complexity and diversity and make forays to a variety of attractive options. Some of us live in a small cave with barren walls.

Now for someone who is considering entering into a monastic cell, I feel your analogy is somewhat curiously strange.

The last time I watched teams play through the season was 1970s. So as far as gaining or losing an audience, I'm not really a factor, as I might only watch a playoff game and then the SB.

But the actual SB game was pretty good this year. Lots of action. Both teams battled to the end.

The Dow gains 570, half of what it lost
yesterday. Cable news is down in the
dumps, I'm hearing, they were so hoping
for a crash today. As always, the worse
the USA does, the better the Dems do. Gloom
and Doom Obama, Mr New Normal..

It was a good game
I have to say I enjoyed it (especially the commercials)

SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon Heavy.

I'm impressed. the monster has 27 liquid-fuel engines in the first stage core and the side boosters. Getting all of them to fire and steer in the right direction is no small feat.

In addition, the side boosters were pre-flown Falcon 9 first stages, and they landed almost in unison at Cape Canaveral.

The rocket carried a dummy load, as is common on test launches of new designs. Anything else you hear about the load is a publicity stunt.
