As you've probably heard by now...

THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS HAVE WON SUPERBOWL XXXIX!!!!!

It's like a delicious championship sandwich...nestled between two layers of Superbowl victories is a rich, creamy center of Red Sox World Series win. It's enough to get us through the long, hard winter, making it seem a little more bearable this year. Speaking of which, how did the Groundhog make out? I never heard.

Now the pressure is on the Celtics to being home a championship (well, not really, but that'd be either weird or scary). And the Boston College men's basketball team are undefeated so...well, fuck BC, actually. ;)



And on a side note, did anyone else happen to catch the "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet? It was just puppies for 6 straight hours. In a pen made up to look like a football stadium, filled with chew toys and water bowls and cameras. The commercials made it look intruguing with exciting football music (think NFL Films or the theme to MNF), but during the broadcast itself it was more gentle soft rock. It was almost mesmerizing. They're even selling a DVD of it on their website!

I haven't decided yet whether this was utter stupidity or sheer genius.

And another thing. I must have seen 3 or 4 ads so far for the movie Son of the Mask. And each one would have me believe I would be going to see a completely different movie. Now, I liked The Mask, but seriously, who greenlighted this project for theatrical release? The movie practically screams "direct to video". That is, assuming, of course, that the movie absolutely had to be made in the first place.
