I have a coworker originally from New England. He plays a New Hampshire radio station on his computer every day. There's not much difference in stations here and there, at least until the weather starts dropping. He's over the moon, of course, since both of his teams won yesterday. I was quite pleased for the Red Sox, actually, but watching the Redskins get utterly blown out by the Patriots was depressing. And I like the Patriots usually! I was hoping our defense would put some kind of fight. C'mon, guys, when the backup quarterback gets a rushing touchdown, you know things are going bad. And then Alabama gets LSU. *winces* Can I just hide now?

Not sure what to think of the Wembley game. I do wish they'd gotten to see a better game, but with the mud and rain and pitch conditions and the opponents, well, I think it did pretty well. Trying to explain "running out the clock" and "taking a knee" to a British audience might take some time. Maybe we should stick to exhibition games over there. I would be amused to hear British commentators on the game, just for curiosity. It was pretty amazing seeing all the various NFL jerseys represented. I remember chatting with someone years ago on the Compuserve sports forum about American football. He was in Wales. *shrugs*

I wasn't terribly thrilled about Boston; it's only been a few years since the last time they won, and I'd have liked some lesser team to have a chance. On the other hand, Colorado was being much too arrogant. (And as I mentioned, the Red Sox did seem infectiously jolly throughout.)
