And Manning gets away...

yes, the Superbowl was amazing. Not just a good game, an amazing game. Nobody gave the Giants a chance but nobody thought the Giants defense would do THAT to Brady. And then there is that play. I'm not going to try and rewrite what proper sports journalists have written - just check out the NY Times post-game articles and read why American sports journalism beats the UK. Partisan? Yeah! An understanding of why sport can be a great thing. Oh yeah...

And now it's Super Tuesday tomorrow. Who knows what will happen? Hillary cried again today - surely to god no-one will fall for that again? But, you know, it's California. Obama is catching her though, according to the polls. Then again these are polls that said he'd take New Hampshire by 10. I saw an Obama speech on CNN the other day (don't remember where). He really is good. There's not much there in terms of policy but so much in terms of that most shallow thing - vision. And you get the impression that the USA and the world could handle a bit of optimistic vision right now. McCain seems to have the Republican party nomination sewed up - that's a bit of a relief. Romney is a bit odd. And a bit wrong. So it could be Obama against McCain, which might be the best two options America has. Personally, I think either Rebublican candidate could kill Hillary because nobody really wants Bill in the White House again.

But let's go back to the Superbowl - what a game! The Giants killed them. Superbowls are normally a bit rubbish - game over by the end of the second quarter, people moving away from the TV to the poker table after the half time show. This time, no-one will remember Tom Petty's show from this year. And that, ladies and gentlemen, can be nothing more than a victory for us all.
