Not one thread for the greatest show on earth. And it is The Show. The Yanks know how to put on a show. The pre-show is four hours long. And the pre-pre-shows stared last week. I've been a fan of the New England Patriots since before Grogan broke his first bone. Just a natural thing since The Maritimes and New England have such a long, entwined history.

Anyway, the Superbowl is just hours away. The ultimate sport. Involving equal amounts of physical prowess, mental accuity, honed athletic skills, opponent analysis, varying strategies for field position and time management, adaptability, sheer heart and will, and so many other factors that many spend their whole lives as mere students of the game. There is no other sport that involves the fans the way American football does. It is as much chess and finesse as it is smash-mouth.

Are you ready to party !?
