I'll watch certain teams, but not to the exclusion of other activities. I
got an inquiry just now about taking an extensive cycling trip in lieu of the
Super Bowl. Fine with me, as I was only interested in having the Broncos win
so that Peyton Manning can thumb his nose at the Colts for having released him
as they thought he would never play again. Shows that John Elway is an
excellent judge of horse flesh and that Manning is not easily defeated.
