"Losing" this was worthwhile simply because I got to see Brady keep making "The Brady Face" late in the game.

Wow my Ravens pick is starting to look more likely. We'll see if Ray Lewis can pull out one more win.

Dammit! I was tempted to pick the Ravens, for the Warhammer 40k's Blood Ravens Space Marines Chapter, but I finally chose the Patriots due to the supposedly better odds.

Seems my chance to gift the prize to Ian is gone... :(

great game by the 49 ers :D, was a bit disappointed by the Baltimore game though.
Posted January 21, 2013
Well, I guess I'm out, and no, I still don't know anything about American football :-)

Oh and if Homer's legitimate business associate calls me to say, "accidents happen all the time", I'll just say, "likewise to you, brother, likewise." :-P

tinyE: For those of you who didn't read the fine print: all posters who picked Atlanta or New England (present company excluded) are officially out of the pool and thus owe Homer 500 USD apiece. Should you be unable or unwhilling to make payment, please allow Homer to introduce you to his "legitimate business associate" who will be on call to remind you that "accidents happen all the time and you never know when you might trip on some stairs or fall off a building".
Meh, people "accidentally" fall down elevator shafts and land on to several bullets all the time. There was even that time when someone got "accidentally" stabbed with a knife 17 times. Darn slippery knives...

Shot in the back of the head 6 times. Police called it the worst case of suicide they had ever seen.

How could they be so sure wasn't just an accident? :D

I want to give a shout out to Homer. This has been a really fun and interesting give away. Now, we all need to root for JIM not JOHN.
Posted February 03, 2013
Todays the day. Good luck to everyone who got their picks!

Am still reeling from the Seahawks brilliant comeback, then last minute loss. For SB XLVII i'll be rooting for the 49'rs for no other reason than i'm a west coaster. Enjoy the game all. May it be a lively contest!

Game starts in about 20 minutes. Can be watched live on the official CBS site. Legit. CBS is the rights holder to the broadcast. Go to cbs.com and find it. Or follow this direct link to their player http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/live/player

Oh, and viewing online from cbs gives the viewer 5 different camera angels to view from !

Thanks for sharing that. Is some serious security (one aspect of it anyhow).

Wow I thought that was real for a minute!! Scary!

Well, the photos are real, but the story is more complicated. Oh and it's not this year's SB either.
