Superbowl party

[jeriorleans]

All of you Weggies could come give A.J. and the Saints support at our Superbowl party this Sunday. Unbelievable, New Orleans has gone crazy. We have even closed the schools and most offices! Just needed to lighten things up a bit. Sometimes I get quite depressed reading everyones stories, but sometimes I get excited to see one of the members getting better! Happy Superbowl Sunday to your all.

Love to be there. What are you cooking? I'll bring some hot wings! How I miss New Orleans. French bonet and coffee there yummy!

I'm laughing because I posted on Twitter just yesterday that I had no idea who was playing in the Superbowl or even when it was. I thought maybe it had already happened. It's great that it's in New Orleans. The city really needs a shot of joy. If a football game will do it, then go for it.

Sangye, your still in the dark... The saints are playing in the Superbowl, but its in Miami!!

[Dumpy]

Sangye thats O.K. the Super Bowl is in Miami but the party is in New Orleans. They say that you can not get a hotel room in the CITY and when they win you guys will hear the rumble up North.

LOL-- I really have no idea what's going on in sports!

I know football never touches a foot and is played with an oblong object!

True, soccer is realy football. Sangye - I don't know much about football or baseball either. Now hockey - at least I know who is who - that should count for something,

Hi, growing up in Europe I know what a wonderful sport hockey can be. Larger rink that makes player skate, severe penalties for bodychecking etc. What is called hockey here is merely wrestling on skates and the Vancouver canucks is by now a Swedish wrestlingteam. Moyan

Ok, I know nothing about sports but as far as I know football is played with a round ball, does touch the foot and is played by men who get paid far too much for doing this well.
Rugby is played with an oblong ball and scoring is called a try, as in "I tried!", American football is also played with an oblong ball but at least calls scoring something sensible. "Touch Down" I can understand, even if the men are wearing tights.
Hockey is played on grass with a plastic ball, by girls in secondary school wearing pleated gym skirts and knee high socks.
Ice hockey is just another term for murder, isn't it?

These are the things I know about sport from living in England.
