| The meat dress continues to inspire controversy, doesn't it? | |
| They preserved it somewhere. I think someone should have eaten | |
| at least part of it. We may never know if it was well done and | |
| in good taste. | |
| I hope she doesn't show up in a dress made out of miniature oil | |
| pipelines that might leak oil onto the field. It could delay | |
| the game. | |
| Ha, she could come out in a bee hive. That could stop the game | |
| too. | |

| A cricket one-day international between Sri Lanka and South | |
| Africa in Johannesburg was brought to a grinding halt when a | |
| swarm of bees descended on the field and stopped the game for | |
| over an hour. | |
| Groundskeepers and players alike tried their best to contain the | |
| bees. The tried-and-true �let�s push them in a bucket with a | |
| coke can� didn�t seem to work, so a player turned his helmet | |
| into a beehive to attract them. | |
| Finally someone called the beekeepers to deal with this mess: | |
| The game resumed, and all was well. There are no reports of mass | |
| stingings. | |
| I'm off to work. I hope the tips are good. | |

| The Falcons lost 34-28. I think they played well. The Patriots | |
| didn't score a touchdown till the end of the third quarter. They | |
| had a field goal. Then they came back in the fourth quarter and | |
| there was a tie 28-28 and won in over time. I hope the Falcons | |
| will be given more positive coverage after this game. They said | |
| this was the first time that the Super Bowl went into over time. | |
| I'm disappointed that the Falcons lost but it's just a game. | |
| As for Gaga, yes I watched it so I could comment on it. There | |
| wasn't a huge political statement made but there were other | |
| things that I noticed that is common with entertainers that I | |
| really don't like. But that's the industry and what they push. | |

| Thank goodness Lady Gaga didn't mention Trump. She gets | |
| points from me for that. I know she has strong political | |
| views, but I think sports should probably be allowed to be | |
| sports. | |
| I heard the score on the radio early on and thought the Falcons | |
| probably had a win in the bag. Then I was in the store and a | |
| fellow that works there said it was close -- and he had a bet on | |
| it for the Patriots. Then he said it was tied. He was almost | |
| delirious when they won. | |

| I give her points too. I was expecting a major political | |
| statement from her. The songs she was singing, the lyrics, I | |
| think were her way of making a political statement. Her fans | |
| knew that and they loved it. | |
| I read a couple of news stories about the game. It looks like | |
| the Falcons are being represented in a worse light more than | |
| ever. | |

| There's still news about the Super Bowl. | |
| http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/02/13/robert-kraft-downplays-patriots… | |
| [quote]Patriots owner Robert Kraft spent some time with | |
| President Donald Trump this weekend, and seemed unfazed by the | |
| prospect that at least 10 percent of his latest Super Bowl | |
| roster wants no part of a similar offer. | |
| During an appearance on the Today show, Kraft said the fact that | |
| at least six of his players have publicly announced they won�t | |
| be joining the team on a White House visit wasn�t terribly new. | |
| �Well, you know what�s interesting, this is our, I�m happy to | |
| say, fifth Super Bowl in the last 16 years,� Kraft said, via | |
| Phil Perry of CSNNE.com. �And every time we�ve had the privilege | |
| of going to the White House, a dozen of our players don�t go. | |
| This is the first time it�s gotten any media attention. You | |
| know, some of the players have the privilege of going in college | |
| because they�re on National Championship teams, others have | |
| family commitments. But this is America. We�re all free to do | |
| whatever�s best for us. We�re just privileged to be in a | |
| position to be going.� | |
| It�s not the first time it has gotten attention, however. | |
| Quarterback Tom Brady skipped the last one two years ago when | |
| Barack Obama was in office, but would ostensibly make this trip | |
| since he�s friends with President Trump. | |
| But so far, Devin McCourty, Martellus Bennett, Chris Long, | |
| Dont�a Hightower, Alan Branch and LeGarrette Blount have all | |
| said they won�t make the trip, several of them explicitly saying | |
| they didn�t feel welcomed there. | |
| Kraft joined President Trump and Japanese prime minister Shinzo | |
| Abe for dinner at the Mar-a-Lago resort on Friday night. | |
