USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Nosmo King]

There are those days. I just now spent considerable effort trying to get my computer to delete the unwanted character on the text when I finally figured out it was a spot on the computer screen.

And then I have been watching a lot of the Olympic trials to determine which of our athletes will complete during the glorious two weeks of the winter Olympics. I love the Olympics with all the pomp and ceremony and all the national flags flying and national pride and athletes competing for the sheer joy of the competition. . .

. . .until. . .I read the Drudge headlines tonight and saw that they are passing out a record number of condoms this year. 37 per athlete? Really? Have they added an event I don't know about??????

Maybe the Olympics will actually be worth watching this year?

Mom will tune in exclusively for the figure skating events. I'll tune in for everything but.

I'm with your mom. I love the figure skating competitions and the skiing. Nothing else much of interest for me.

Oops, I meant six weeks. (Though the weather has been so weird this winter, I wouldn't be surprised at snow in July. )

I had to buy the Stop and Shop brand cream cheese! Can't buy the Philadelphia brand!

 

[Foxfyre]

Hello coffee shop! It's Friday! Two more days until Superbowl!

I likely won't watch the super bowl but I hope you won't hate me if I philosophically pull for Philadelphia? The Patriots have made 10 Super Bowls, including Super Bowl 52, and have won five titles, all with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. New England is tied with the Cowboys and 49ers for the second-most Super Bowl wins behind the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have six.

Poor Philadelphia has only gone to two Super Bowls and have never won. They lost one of those two games to the Patriots. I guess I just emotionally always go with the underdog unless it is the Cowboys playing.

You are now on my list!!! Watch your back!



Just kidding . . . kind of!

The problem isn't the brand, the problem is eating cream cheese in the firsts place.

The only team deserving six Super Bowl trophies is my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers.

I'm still pissed the 49ers lost a SB.

 

[ChrisL]

Patriots. That is all.

Well the Patriots could match their record come Sunday. But of course Hombre and I are hoping it is the Cowboys who tie the Steelers and then surpass them.

Cream cheese is pretty much a staple in our house. And at least I don't have to consider the brand all that much when I buy it this week.

I would have a hard time dragging the poor thing out of bed and subjecting him to the cold that way, but it is once a year and it is brief and they do not harm him in any way. And because of his celebrity status, that is maybe the best fed, healthiest, most pampered rodent on the planet.

The Patriots win superbowls because they are a damn good team. There is no "I" in the Patriots. They play as a team, and that is first and foremost in their minds. They work very hard all year to get to where they are, and they are like a well oiled machine when it comes to football. Good coaching, a good understanding of the other team and how they play and what their weaknesses are, Tom Brady just has a natural knack for being able to read the field and the players (his experience definitely plays a role in this). Bill and Tom have a very good coach/QB relationship and are very close. All of these things combine to make the Patriots a great team (amongst other things).
