Great facts, Paige. My hubby is so anxious for the Superbowl he's making my life miserable. LOL Happy Thursday! *Hugs*
It's all chinese to me lol
Happy T13!
I know absolutely nothing about football.
Great list! Having no vested interest in this year's game, I beleive I'll root for the underdogs and say, "Go Cardinals!"

I don't get American football. It's such a long game with so many stops and starts. LOL - It's probably just as well I'm an ocean away to avoid the rotten tomatoes. I prefer rugby any day! :)
Happy TT.
Go Steelers. I LOVE football, thanks for the trivia, even if the fact about my team is depressing. Maybe next year Cleveland.
Awesome! I was rooting for the Saints this year because they haven't been.
I can't wait for Sunday!
Wow, that's a lot of facts.
Happy TT.
Janice~
Interesting list!
I'm curious what non-SB show cracked the top 10 most watched show! My guess is the M*A*S*H series finale.
Here's another SB fact - all 3 of the Patriots SB victories were decided by an Adam Vinatieri field goal.
Jeanne - Congratulations on the Steelers' win!
Inez - Thanks!
Stephanie - LOL! We're huge football fans, too!
Adelle - LOL!
AliceAudrey - LOL! We're huge football fans!
Heather - LOL!
Shelley - LOL! Too funny! We've never seen rugby, but we're huge football fans. It's really easy to follow once you learn the game.
Lia - We're huge football fans, too!
Jennifer - Thanks!
Janice - Totally!
Mel - Thanks!
The Bumbles - I think you're right about the other show!
*hugs*
Paige,
Where did you find the football on the "Thirteen" banner? He is hot! Are there any more of him?
