Mayors bet food on Super Bowl - Yahoo! News

BOSTON (Reuters) - When the New England Patriots and New York Giants face off in Sunday's Super Bowl American football championship, the mayors of their home towns will have an edible wager on the line.
Enormous amounts of food are at stake in the traditional bet this year, and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg have pledged to donate their winnings to homeless shelters and other charities.
A win by the Patriots, giving the team a record-setting 19-0 season, will bring Menino a hefty smorgasbord of New York delicacies, including pastrami sandwiches from the Carnegie Deli, pizzas from Staten Island and Caribbean-style beef patties from the Bronx.
If the underdog Giants win, Bloomberg will be sent a package including 42 pounds of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, 100 cups of clam chowder and 144 Boston cream pies

What a nice thing to do.  It is great that while we are wolfing down all our food this Sunday, that some people who really need it will get some food.  I think that both of them should give it no matter who wins. 

Still I hope the Dunkin' Donuts etc. get the distribution

Gee, I think someone wanted some national attention

ESPN - Senator wants to know why NFL destroyed Patriots spy tapes - NFL:

"WASHINGTON -- With the Super Bowl fast approaching, a senior Republican senator says he wants the NFL to explain why it destroyed evidence of the New England Patriots cheating scandal.

'I am very concerned about the underlying facts on the taping, the reasons for the judgment on the limited penalties and, most of all, on the inexplicable destruction of the tapes,' said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., in a Thursday letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell."

Mr. Specter, why are you releasing this information now. Why not a month from now or a month ago. Your timing make it look to me like you are trying to get your name in the news, not to look for the truth.

Facts are, others did it, Pats get caught and punished, end of story. Why are you making a big deal of it.

One of the most stupid ideas that I have ever seen.

Flo and Friends was funny today

At least I thought it was.




You can catch it at Flo and Friends

Someone needs anger management

FOXNews.com - Man Sets Radio Station on Fire Over Playlist Change - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News:

"Paul Webster Feinstein, 24, has been charged with second-degree felony arson for the Jan. 5 fire that caused $300,000 damage to the studios of 91.7 FM KOOP. He faces from two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Feinstein told investigators that he was 'very unhappy' about the changes to his playlist, said Austin Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Nye. The songs were intended for an Internet broadcast that occurs when the station is off the air."

The article says he acted normal most of the time. Guess people can hide a lot of stuff...

They said it was a media circus at the Superbowl

I really did not believe them though....

So that you do not have enough to worry about.

` NEW YORK - For rabid fans of the New York Giants and New England Patriots, this Sunday's Super Bowl won't be just a game. It may be a health hazard. Heart attacks and other cardiac emergencies doubled in Munich, Germany, when that nation's soccer team played in World Cup matches, a new study reports. While history suggests European soccer fans can get a bit more worked up than the average American football fan, doctors think there are some valid warnings to be shared.

Super Bowl could be heart health hazard - Yahoo! News

You know, drinking too much water could kill you but we do not have health warnings on it.  Yes a person with a sedentary lifestyle could have a heart attack but so could I walking down a stairs.  Get over it people, When your time has come, it has come.  If you do not take care of yourself, expect a death when you least expect it.
