<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey all you football fans, when the Super
Bowl is done and Chicago wins you might enjoy reading <STRONG>Friday Night
Lights.</STRONG> I grew up in San Angelo, Texas<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3> and was a rabid fan of high school football.
finally adopting a more reasonable approach to the sport and its consequences
for young men, when I moved to Idaho. I haven't watched either the TV
series or the movie, but the book is a worthy read. Not as intellectual as
some of the tomes you recommend, but still enjoyable, or not, depending on your
response to it. And now I'm in the middle of <STRONG>Things Fall
Apart,</STRONG> one I should have already read but haven't.
What else are folks recommending? </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And my reason for not supporting New Orleans:
well once a long time ago when Morton Andersen was playing for the Saints, I had
lunch with him and my niece--he was her date,not mine, and he was an arrogant
ass. Of course he has probably grown up into a fine middle age fellow and
kicker who still gets in the game, but that's no le hace to me....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Matt,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do watch football when I can. I am sure I do not follow it as much as
you do. Bottom line is that the Bears beat my Seahawks and the Pats beat my
Chargers, so naturally I want them both to get an ass whippin. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want the Colts and Saints to go. Neither has won the
Superbowl. I think who ever wins the AFC will win the Superbowl.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I was a betting man, I would bet on the Colts, but then again, I
thought either the Chargers or Baltimore would win the Superbowl this year.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Football and basketball are the only sports I really like. And baseball
isn't a real sport unless bowling is also. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

the Superbowl.<BR>><BR>> I like the Saints because of a number of

sticks together to try and make it through the <BR>>bad as well as the
good.<BR>><BR>> My teams are out, but I don't want to see the same
