I'm in Kansas City and don't really follow football THAT much but had been checking the score occasionally on my second monitor. I knew we were tied in overtime. Then I heard a bunch of gunshots in every direction and thats how I knew the game was over and we had won.

Murica.

I was just thinking, how can we call it American Football if we don't arm the players? Maybe just in the 2nd half, everyone gets a sidearm. After all, they're basically a well-regulated militia, right?

basically a well-regulated militia

A hell of a lot more of one than every single individual, as the courts seems to believe.

Wichita here, glad I was asleep. Not looking forward to work, though. If I pull the "isn't that hockey?" line today I'll prolly get stabbed.

For some real fun, ask them how many points Michael Jordan scored.

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Shit. I said Michael Jackson.

Damn I was in STL yesterday and had NO idea the Superbowl was tonight. I'm back home in SWMO now, and I've heard nothing. Weird.
