I'll actually be watching the SuperBowl tonight - a habit I picked up in school with some friends back when the Rams and the Raiders were still a force. Although I supported the Cincinatti Bengals and Boomer Esiason, after drawing them in an early sweepstake at the start of their winning season - total fluke, I didn't plump for them after the victory, honest! Re: Ray's Monopoly post, I mildly disagree - I think the winning strategy is to remortgage aggressively and use debt, though it depends how many players you have. But that's a riskier read across for real-life, I appreciate. Nice to see from Alexa that traffic picking up around here at last. Richly deserved.

Great minds think alike - I am big into heavy remortgaging too when playing Monopoly. You're right though, I think that is a bit riskier in real life. Re: American football's popularity in the UK... I have heard it is actually fairly popular there, as your comments show anecdotally - but just HOW popular is it there? @Craig: You are very welcome! Thank YOU for the entertaining post! @Mike: I actually caught most of the game - my sister-in-law is visiting me this week and she is a big fan, so I had the game on. @Sam: I keep waiting for you to submit one of your fine articles, my man.
