GO PATRIOTS.

After unsuccessful attempts to watch the Super Bowl legally on NBCsports.com (thank you, "access denied" page) and illegally on various streaming websites (thank you, US government), I am watching via video chat to Houston (thank you, Will).  I think I’m sitting on a coffee table.  Patriots just had an extra man on the field.  Giants just scored.  I can hear my dad yelling from here.

Football, American and otherwise.

I am now a supporter of the Liverpool soccer/"football" team.  Yinka, my buddy the security guy, has been trying to get me to be a fan of Liverpool pretty much since I started work.  He was very sad this morning, as Liverpool lost over the weekend.  I told him I was sorry for his loss, but I couldn’t be too sad because my team, the Patriots, had won this weekend and were going to the Super Bowl (!!!!!!).  He said he would cheer for the Patriots as his American football team, if I would cheer for Liverpool as my Premier League football team.  Having little to no conviction about soccer, I figured I could manage this deal.  So Liverpool, you are my team.  And my dear Patriots, I have won you another fan.

Also, people from Liverpool are called Liverpudlians.  This is amusing.
