Well after talking to everyone last night Renee and I are going to have a Superbowl party at our home. We live in Germantown,MD. We have a pool table and tv in the basement so all the guys will probably be down there and on the second floor is the 50in. dlp tv with surround sound. It will be a pot luck so everyone post what you will be bringng. We are going to make Puerto Rican style beef and cheese empanadas. The kick off is at 6:15p.m. so i guess it can start around 5:00p.m.

 

even tho' I'm not a football fan by any stretch of the imagination, I'd still like to come for a visit.
I'll bring my artichoke cheese appetizer..

 

Oh man, I wish I could join you.

I've already got plan for the day. You all have fun.

 

Chris, thats cool. Happy early b-day. Katie, Even if your not a football fan thats ok you can still eat and drink right .(lol)

 

Sounds like great fun! I'm in. Put me down for sodas & chips (the bachelor contribution).

 

yup

Here's something I just found that concerns me, from Sports Illustrated:If I'm reading that correctly, that means that only those who subscribe to the NFL Network via their satellite or cable provider will be able to watch the Superbowl...

If that's true, it's a pretty major change from being able to watch it on network TV!

I forsee a lot of very pissed off people.

 

It's all about money. I have that channel but for people that don't i think they are not going to be happy.

 

don't they have a contract with FOX or one of the major network broadcasters? Breach of contract on that scale is a big no-no...

 

It's my understanding that the NFL did not have that locked down with any network for this year. In fact, they originally planned on doing this for the last regular season Patriots game (where they clinched the unbeaten record), but the outcry caused them to allow the game to be broadcast on multiple major networks.

It will be interesting to see & hear the news development when many people realize they won't be able to watch the Superbowl at home without paying for it...

UPDATE: It seems they updated the article today to add in "(wink, wink)" at the end of the remark from Goodell, so it might have been a joke.

 

Please have your name on the list.

What about the chocolate desert, the one at Katie's was awesome, isn't it also a "bachelor contribution"?

The wife said she'd be brining something, I'll double check with her and let you all know.

 

Sounds good.

 

That chocolate ganache cake? That was killer....

 

OK, so the dish will be Rice and chicken South American style. See you all then.

Haemish, what's up with the chocolate cake.......... Do not forget please.

 

Heh.

You'll have to talk to Kattiya... because I had it REALLY easy last Saturday. She was going to the store to buy stuff for her and Alan to bring, and offered to pick something up for me too. She bought it, and I paid her back.

I think she got it at Trader Joe's.

 

Here is my address for who ever is coming. It's right of I270. Party time!

21331 Bunyan Cir.
Germantown,MD 20876

 

since I only see 3 people on the rsvp list, is this still going to happen? Just wondering...

 

Ya we are still doing it. Renee has some work friends coming also.

 

okie dokie...I'll be solo.

 

Made it home safe and sound..in less than an hour...NY won??!

 

Yup, ~38seconds left. 17-14. I can't believe they pulled it off.

 

Katie... I know you had a long way to go, and it was getting late... but you missed one of the best finishes in SB history.

Awesome game, awesome results (now I don't have to hear gloating Patriots fans for the rest of my life), and great party.

Thanks to Carlos & Rene - I had a wonderful time

 

I saw it on the 11PM news...looks like I missed football history...oh well.
Thanks Carlos and Renee. I had a very good time too. Paul was sorry he missed the sangria...
