Hey Bill,

that just seems like soooooooooo many points. Two touchdowns. I thought the spread was 6.5 [8D]

Guess I have to follow closer.

I'm not a gambling man, but as I recall the Pats are good at winning, but not always good at covering the spread. Sometimes, I can almost believe that they realize they're in the entertainment business, and they don't want to run up the score so much that people lose interest in the 3rd quarter. Either that, or once they figure they've got enough points on the board, they go into run-down-the-clock mode and let the Defense control the rest of the game.

The big TV shares a room with the fixin's for the train layout. Hopefully, by this time next year I'll be operating and watching the game at the same time.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Mr Beasley, you have got it made. Big screen and trains. Beat the heck out of my garage, cold and only a washer to watch. [:D]

What is this Super Bowl you speak of?

Is it something to do with a GIGANTIC classification yard? [%-)]

It's on this forum so it must have something to do with trains, right? [sigh]

Paul, the super bowl is a big hole in the ground. All the US trains must cross the bowl at least once a year. It has a very narrow bridge, only two trains are allowed at a time. This time one train from Philly gets to cross, and one train from New England. If they both meet at the same time, which train will cross first ?[:D][:D]

I think the New England train will cross the most, but not sure about first. Proabably. This train crossing can even be bet on, so that makes it even more exciting.

I am still looking for my Charger train, saw an Elvis train, so Chargers can't be far behind. [:)]
