Congratulations on winning the Super Bowl prediction contest Spike. Your prediction was really close, especially considering how many points most folks thought the Chiefs would score.
We'll be hearing this all week "Tom Brady won the Super Bowl all by himself"
Tampa Bay's defense was the real star of this game but Brady will get 100% of the credit.
This is true but I think Mahomes screwed up a lot too. They were just out classed! Hey, the TB owners have to get their money's worth! ( I don't know what Gronk is making but I know Brady signed a $50 million dollar contract.

A little girl was staring at me before Christmas ( she was with her grandmother, I think), at the bank and I waved my beard at her and said " Ho ho ho , if you're not good, I won't come and see you." Her grandmother leaned over to her ear and while she looked up at me, she pointed and said, " You see there? That's what I've been telling you?" LOL! Even the girls behind the counter laughed!

A episode of the current season of the UK TV show QI put forward the following:
When the Vikings invaded in the 11th century, English women found them attractive because they washed more often than the native British men. The Vikings tended to come without women, so they married English women, upsetting the locals. One monk, John of Wallingford, claimed that Danes cheated by washing. He wrote: "The Danes made themselves too acceptable to English women by their elegant manners and their care of their person. They combed their hair daily and took a bath every Saturday, and even changed their clothes frequently, be which means they undermined the chastity of the wives." Thus there is a theory that all of that stories about Vikings raping and pillaging were written by Englishmen whose wives were taken by more attractive Danes.
I must remember to have a bath on Saturday to make myself irresistible to women.
That was excellent Hoss!! I didn't know that! Very interesting! Thank you!
