This year for the Super Bowl we did a house swap.
The guys went to one house to watch the Super Bowl in peace and quiet -- otherwise known as "No kids squealing to watch Dora/Curious George/Arther/Finding Nemo
"
The moms gathered at my house with the kids and the food and the TV for background noise while we discussed the important things -- such as what one needs to buy for her baby due this summer, share ideas for kids lunches, address our kids' learning curves and solve the issue of world peace. Then watch the last two minutes of the game.
I think we had a superb plan. I can talk about the Super Bowl now at work, I got to visit the girls without being shushed, the kids got to play
And the guys owe us big time.

How sad is it when you have teams and teams of little guys, ages 8 to 13, play their hearts out in the Super Bowl of the year for Grid Kids, and the Herald can't even represent these teams of kids and coaches. We can sure put in the paper articles about soccer and other events from the pros, but can't take one page to discuss and congratulate these local boys for being the best they can be.
Also a big thank you to all the coaches and assistants for dedicating their time to work with these teams and teach them what team sports and sportsmanship is all about. You should be honored. And to the Tri-City community, if you ever want to watch a real game of football, you should take in a Grid Kid game. Some of these guys could be pro ball players in 10 or 15 years.
Stop and think, Tri-City Herald. The Tri-Cities is where the news is at. For a final word, congratulations to the teams that won this year's Super Bowl. All of you played a fantastic game, whether you won or lost.

The strangest coaching decision during Super Bowl week wasn't when Bill Belichick ordered his defense to act like matadors and wave Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw by for a touchdown from 6 yards out with less than a minute left in the game. That's just the one people will remember. The really odd one came four days earlier when the uber-prepared Patriots coach, anticipating a halftime show that would dictate a 30-minute intermission rather than the usual 12, ordered his players to take a break from practicing football and practice sitting in the locker room for a half-hour instead.
