A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
Completely off topic, but. . .I can’t resist the urge to share this.

I grew up with the Nintendo Entertainment System. Duck Hunt, Super Mario Brothers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game for the win! Oh, and blowing on the games really does work!
And for you football fans, especially Bears fans. . .
CJ may be pulling for the Colts, but I know DA BEARS will win.
Update: The NFL has pulled the first arsehole stunt I’ve seen reported this year. Shame on them.
The NFL has nixed a church’s plans to use a wall projector to show the Colts-Bears Super Bowl game, saying it would violate copyright laws.
NFL officials spotted a promotion of Fall Creek Baptist Church’s “Super Bowl Bash� on the church Web site last week and overnighted a letter to the pastor demanding the party be canceled, the church said.
…
But the NFL objected to the church’s plans to use a projector to show the game, saying the law limits it to one TV no bigger than 55 inches.
“We have contracts with our (TV) networks to provide free over-the-air television for people at home,� Aiello said. “The network economics are based on television ratings and at-home viewing. Out-of-home viewing is not measured by Nielsen.�

I remember blowing on the games~except they were ATARI games. Now I feel old.
) Blowing on the games still works for Gameboys (my kids do it all the time!)

Tracy….if you are old, so am I because I totally had an Atari system

I wonder if a 55 inch projection is authorized?
Tracy
okay Deb, I’ll tell me age (it’s really no big deal) I’m 33, closing in on 34 (in 2 months)

Terri
You raise a good question Anthony.

Even though Mr. Manning is nice to the troops, I still have to go for DA BEARS. I just can’t cheer for a team that beat our beloved Patriots. As for the church,that is just ridiculous. We have a teletheater in town showing the game tomorrow and I would be willing to bet that their screens are larger. Shame on the NFL!

Love the prayer, but who is Krenzel?
Since this is a “briefing”, here is the final score:
Bears 41
Colts 13
This is not a prediction, since earlier in the week I was visited by the Ghosts of the Chicago Bears Past, Present, and Future in a dream. I snuck a peak at the final scoreboard while the Spirit of the Chicago Bears Future was dragging me around Miami. That was a mistake – no real suspense in watching the game for me now.
Anyway, the whole Dickensian tale is linked below, but will probably only be understood and appreciated by Bears fans:

Tracy…I got ya by about 6 years

DWSUWF,,,Could you please change that score so I win at least part of the Super Bowl pool at work?

Okay, so both teams are playing sloppy football. Damn the rain, they all need to get the butterflies out of their stomachs.
