Super Bowl XLIX Odds

The early money has moved the opening line on SuperBowlXLIX from as high as Seattle -2½ down to Seattle-1 or even EVEN, . . . before LVAers even had a chance to bet.

The total is pegged from 48½ to 49½ depending on the individual sports books.

DonDiego has no side or total to recommend; he has very little interest in even watching the Pats play the Seahawks. Perhaps there'll be some more engaging teams playing in 2016.

2 teams the general public don't care for.

The Packers will be kicking themselves for years over that game

Perhaps Don Diego is looking for an alternative to the 2015 Super Bowl. May I suggest the second annual Nat Geo Wild Fish Bowl? Yes, you too can spend 4 hours on Fish Bowl Sunday watching a fish...in a bowl. This year, planned highlights include a cow being milked in the background.

As an Indy fan, yesterday was painful.

Accusations are swirling that the Patriots cheated. Again.

The NFL is investigating whether the New England Patriots intentionally deflated footballs during their victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday's rain-soaked AFC Championship Game.

A league spokesman confirmed the investigation, which was first reported Sunday by television station WTHR in Indianapolis, to ESPN on Monday morning.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, however, laughed when asked about the report.

"I think I've heard it all at this point ... it's ridiculous," Brady said Monday morning during his weekly interview with Boston radio station WEEI. "I don't even respond to stuff like this."

An underinflated football could be easier to grip and catch. NFL rules stipulate that footballs must be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch and weigh between 14 and 15 ounces.

YUP, ............... That is EXACTLY why the Colts only scored 7 points

BTW, The Patriots had this game won last Tuesday.

The Pats will win - that is all anyone who bets needs to know.

That does sound like intriguing television, . . . but DonDiego isn't sure that the National Geographic Channel is available in Appalachia. DonDiego hopes the milkmaid squirts some milk at a kitten during the show; that's always the best part of watching a cow-milking event.

Hey! The reader pr'bly knows the tradition that on Christmas Day Jews dine at uncrowded Chinese restaurants and attend performances at unoccupied movie theaters.

DonDiego requests creative suggestions as to how teechur and he can spend Sunday February 1st most pleasantly.

I'll be in Vegas again for Super Bowl, and just like last year I'll be winning on the Seahawks.

I think he gave a similar response when the accusations of signal stealing surfaced and we all know how that tuned out. All I can say is I hope if the investigation shows they cheated the NFL punishes them in a meaningful way as that would make them repeat offenders. I am not hopeful though given a perjurer remains in charge of the NFL after being caught red handed.
