And if Minnesota loses tonight then, let's face it, I win the survival pool. Again.

Which is outSTANding because, let's face it, I'm obviously never going to win anything else.

Chuck, I don't know if Keith is still dispensing HPF t-shirts for winning the contest since he isn't hosting it anymore.

Come to think of it, I think I picked Minnesota also which would be my second strike.

Did you give up your season tickets, Chuck? It looks like we could have a New England-Dallas Super Bowl in Houston this year which is going to mean scalpers will have a field day.

As for Ms. O'Day, she's a little before my time. The lady singers I grooved to in my day were Olivia Newton-John and ABBA. The day it really hit me how old I had become was when I saw Cheryl Ladd doing ads for menopause meds. That felt like a dagger.

Yeah, I gave up my tickets years ago which is one reason I now feel free to be so smug.
