Colts vs. Saints. Professionalism vs. Karma. New Orleans, city built on hedonism, vs. Indianapolis, heart of the pragmatic mid-west. Emergency rooms from coast to coast and border to border are on full alert for cases of avocado overdose. Yada, yada, yada.
Point is ... this is an essentially American day. A national holiday lacking only the official designation as such. As some guy pointed out here, a few years back.
Any reader who predicts the exact score gets an official Vermont Tiger baseball hat.

Well, since I already *have* an official Vermont Tiger baseball hat (*two* in fact), I'll instead offer this pre-release of Audi's 60-second advert for this year:

I'm not sure why Audi management thinks this will help them sell more cars - but the world depicted is certainly one that a fair number of our fellow citizens are itching to impose on the rest of us....

Geoff,
I may not have won a hat, but I sure won the grand prize of the day by attending the Licata - Kemper talk in Manchester. Hardly a dry eye in the room. Great job Tom and Hugh. Thanks Geoff for making it possible.

Hey, Glen:
Right on the money.
Sorry we didnt have a chance to talk at yesterdays gathering. Appreciate the comments about the event, though I really didnt have much to do with it.
Id like to deliver the hat in person some day this week. Can you shake loose and grab a cup of coffee some morning? Just about any day will work for me.

I protest Glenn getting the hat! Geoff, did you not see the time of his post? It was about the time Tracy Porter crossed the goal line with that interception.
I should get the hat for calling Glenn's ruse.
Pretty sneaky, Glenn!

Geoff,
I'm with txgordo! See as how the time of entry doesn't matter, I'm submitting a new guess...

Thanks for the heads-up about today's Interactive TV meeting about the budget. Will you be coming down? If you are, please bring my hat. Thank you.

Now Gordo, you stay out of this. I simply used a teleprompter.
If it's good enough for POTUS, it's good enough for me. :-P
