So this is what we did while waiting for the most overhyped event of the year. We’re talking about the Tim Tebow ad with his mother, of course. What, you think we were going to say the Super Bowl is overhyped? Nah. How could a game be overhyped when most TV stations and newspapers have run stories about it for two weeks? How can it be overhyped when, on the day of a game that begins at 6:25 p.m., the pregame shows start at 9 in the morning?
Overhyped?

Anyway, here was our day:
9:05 a.m. » Listened to discussion of Dwight Freeney‘s impact if he doesn’t play. Thank goodness for this one. Had not heard a word about this all week.
9:25 a.m. » Saw the weather forecast for the next several days, which included the possibility of more snow Tuesday night.
9:26 a.m. » Called TV repair shop to ask whether they, you know, could remove a brick from the TV.
1:00 p.m. » After shoveling snow again — and with shoulders burning, knees stiff and back aching — returned inside and saw shots of South Beach. The palm trees, the sand, the ocean … bliss.
1:01 p.m. » Called TV repair shop back to ask whether they, you know, could remove a book from the TV.
1:15-2:30 p.m. » Caps-Penguins game. Enough said. Though we did sneak in a debate on Gregg Williams‘ supposedly mean defense. Are they dirty? This is football, right?
4:00 p.m. » The Madden Nation championship. Like we needed to see some kid rewarded with $100,000 for sitting on his fanny all day playing a video game. So we returned to the couch to watch more football and get paid for it.
4:33 p.m. » Turned on “Cops.” Waiting for an appearance by Michael Irvin and Warren Sapp.
4:30 p.m. » Watched President Obama under friendly fire (from Katie Couric). Man, who knew how well he was doing.
5:30 p.m. » Oh, this was not right: a special on the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders making their swimsuit calendar. How sexist. We changed the channel. The nerve! (OK, the better halves have left the room, so we flipped it back to the Cowboys cheerleaders with the sound down. Shhh, don’t tell).
