I'll only be able to watch the commercials on the internet because the Armed Forces Network (AFN) feels the need to subject me to "Don't beat your wife; don't beat your baby" commercials.

And I'm sorry, but it's awesome that Fox Sports has current and former NFL players speak a portion of the Declaration of Independence prior to the game.

Interesting to note Pat Tillman's widow's portion was:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

I'm hoping the Giants win. I could tolerate Boston teams while they were losing (and even went as far about six years ago to start rooting for the Celtics in the playoffs) but now I despise them. The Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins are all on top of their respective league. Even Boston College started off strong enough to be in national title discussion this past season.

Edit: Holy crap, there's updated AFN commercials. It's basically a PSA, though. A Navy admiral talking about an organization called "America Supports You." At least he mentioned "today's game," so the commercial was filmed specifically for today.

Edit 2: You do have to respect any team that comes out to "Crazy Train," though.

It's all about the food at our house!

We are big football fans and so we are just about ready for the game to start!  I've made pizza rolls (pizza crust, sauce, toppings rolled up "jelly roll" style then baked and cut into slices), fruit pizza (sugar cookie base, white chocolate cream cheese 'sauce' and tons of strawberries) and of course our favorite "football dip" (chili with cheddar cheese soup mixed in ~ it sounds gross but it's yummy!).

Wow, the fruit pizza

Wow, the fruit pizza actually sounds really good!

I'm watching the first half of the game in my barrack and then for the second half I'll be heading to the on-post bar. I don't think there's going to be anything more extravagant than hot wings today!
