  • WifeGeeding DIDN’T got into labor during the Super Bowl!!!

  • WifeGeeding DIDN’T got into labor during the Super Bowl!!!
  • Eli was a highly considered name for our son, after yesterday’s performance, maybe it should have.  But trust me, I’m plenty proud of Walter.
  • Many would think that Eli Manning’s first name is actually Elijah, but no, his first name is actually Elisha.
  • Before this season, active NFL players put together a list of who they considered was a top player, and a list of 100 were compiled and broadcast on the NFL Network.  Eli was nowhere on the list.
  • I still want to know if Brady or Eli got Peyton’s locker.
  • When the Giants knock the Cowboys out of the playoffs or playoff contention, they end up winning the Super Bowl.
  • Did anyone catch the music being played at the start of New England’s last drive?  Whoever decided to play classic NFL Films music right before that drive made a brilliant move.  I believe this was the song.
  • I noticed Biff Henderson of The Late Show with David Letterman actually got to kiss the Vince Lombardi Trophy as it was presented to the Giants.
  • The world is a better place when a Boston based sports team loses a championship.
  • I enjoyed the half-time show.  It wasn’t the greatest, it wasn’t bad, it just met my expectations and I was entertained, and that’s about all I can ask.
  • A funny Bob Sturm tweet: Well, on the bright side, at least New Yorkers will finally have the confidence to brag about their teams.
  • As I’ve stated before, I really love how the NFL starts the season (well, not this year because of the strike) with the first pre-season game of the year at Canton, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, by having the new enshrines introduced, and then ending the season with a Hall of Famer presenting the championship trophy to the winning team.
  • The Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee must have something wrong in their heads.   Not voting Bill Parcells into the Hall is beyond crazy.  And they will soon have to start letting some wide receivers in.
  • Parcells should have been invited to do the coin toss considering the two head coaches in that game started under him.
  • I will say I like that they have the option of putting only four or up to six members in, and that a veteran’s from days gone by have a chance to still be selected.  There are so manly unique skill positions involved, I think the number of people they let in are just right and the hype over the Hall seems to grow each year.
  • Aaron Rodgers is one classy individual.  The more I hear him speak, the more I like the guy.  His speech after winning the NFL MVP award on Saturday made me respect him even more.
  • The NFL started a new tradition this year by having an awards show type of production the day before the Super Bowl in which MVP’s and other similar things are announced.  Good idea, but they should move it to the week before the Super Bowl, actually, it the awards show should just take the Pro Bowl’s place.  I can’t imagine how tough it must be for Peter King to write a column for Monday that covers Hall of Fame, awards, and of course, the Super Bowl.
  • WifeGeeding and I have this agreement in which I don’t have to do any housework during football season.  Shit, the season is over.
  • I was at a church leadership meeting on Saturday morning and most of it consisted of a PowerPoint presentation.  The speaker started off by saying , “I’ve been wanting to learn more about history, so I’ve been reading Bill O’Reilly’s Killing Lincoln.”  He lost me at “O’Reilly”.
  • He went on to say that he wanted to start off with a mental exercise he took away from the book and asked us “Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb.”  I gave the obvious answer to that old riddle, that tombs are places where people are entombed, not buried, so no one is buried in Grant’s tomb.  He didn’t like my answer and stated he wasn’t trying to trick us like that.  However, he went on to say that both Grant and his wife are buried in the tomb, that most people forget about his wife.
  • During that meeting I discovered a middle-aged man, that is very familiar with technology, thought there’s no need for the church to use social media – and he wasn’t joking.  Mind-boggling I tell ya, mind-boggling in today’s day and age to keep the church relevant.
  • I’m stating it now . . . I think the Baylor men’s basketball team is going to end the season with a championship.  I haven’t watched many games and I certainly don’t root for them, but they always seem to have the resiliency to find a way to win.
  • Jack in the Box has made the Bacon Milkshake a reality.
  • The ladies in our church small group were planning to throw a surprise baby show for WifeGeeding.  They asked if I could bring her to a local restaurant on Wednesday and I agreed.  However, when they saw how big she was at church and that she was three-centimeters, they feared she wasn’t going to make it to Wednesday, so they threw both of us a surprise shower yesterday afternoon.

    Oh you know what the Pats lost there was a collective scream from Boston. Now I don't have to hear about the Pats on every conference call, ending of emails, and meetings. I'm by no means a Giants fan but they are easier to ignore than the Pats fans!! Whew…dodged a bullet for sure!

    I think the guy who thinks your church doesn't need social media should read "Tweeting Church" when it gets published in the next month or so.

    Interesting story about Brady's supermodel wife afixing blame for the Patriots loss.

    "The comments riled Gisele, judging by video obtained by online gossip site The Insider, with the model making it quite clear to those around her who she thought was to blame for Brady's failure to land the win.

    "You [need] to catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball," she is heard saying. "My husband cannot [expletive] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."

    Although Gisele mentioned no names, she almost certainly was referring to wide receiver Wes Welker — who was judged widely to have made the costliest fourth-quarter drop — along with a spilled catch by tight end Aaron Hernandez."
