One Giant Leap....


Can you tell me where my country lies?,
Said the uniform to his true love's eyes
It lies with me, cried the Queen of Maybe
For her merchandise, he traded in his prize

Well, Maria and I ventured into the dark seedy underbelly of central Getafe last night. It actually was neither dark nor seedy, but we had fun, como siempre (like always). We spoke in Spanish a great deal, or sometimes she speaks English and I speak Spanish. Anyhoo, i am getting better.

We got to one club at like 1:00 and it was empty. By the time we left at 4:00 it was packed. Spain is truly nuts that way. It´s a rare day we get home at 4:30 .


Back in the USSA
Two weeks between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl is idiotic. I don´t even have to listen to all the talking heads and i am annoyed.

Here´s another reason to bet on the Giants, despite all logic. The JKS Factor. In the 1986 Season, James Kevin Sheridan went to the regular season game between the Giants and the Denver Broncos. It wound up being a Super Bowl preview, with the Giants going on to dismantle Elway and the Broncos (ah... the good old days).

James Kevin Sheridan was at the Giants - Patriots season finale, a Super Bowl preview. The conclusion can only mean a Giant victory. That and a huge payoff to officials from the ´72 Dolphins to keep them the only undefeated game.

While the Pats going 19-0 would be great for the NFL (and this league gets its panties in a damp wad about storylines {see Jerome Betis playing Super Bowl in hometown of Detroit in 2005 season}), two brothers quarterbacking teams to a Super Bowl win in back to back seasons would be virtually impossible to repeat. It´s always feasible another team could go undefeated. So the fix is in: bet everything you own, children included, on the Giants. That´s what i´m doing!!!!!
