A Word of Warning for Tomorrow

Super Bowl Could Be Heart Health Hazard

NEW YORK (AP) -- For rabid fans of the New York Giants and New England Patriots, this Sunday's Super Bowl won't be just a game. It may be a health hazard. Heart attacks and other cardiac emergencies doubled in Munich, Germany, when that nation's soccer team played in World Cup matches, a new study reports....

Hey, I said that two weeks ago as the Packers-Giants game came to its sad and depressing tension-filled ending. I turned to my wife and said- when I started breathing again:

I'm too old for that kind of game.

But we will see what tomorrow brings.

I say it will either be a blow-out for the Patriots (most likely) or an exciting over-turning of all the odds and the new curse of the bambino when New York beats Boston. I am hoping for the latter just for the fun of it. But I expect history to be made with what may well be the best team in the history of the sport.

Actually I am glad it's the Giants that have to face the Patriots tomorrow and not my Packers. Wait till next year.
