XLII


Alright - I found it, on France 2:

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS/NEW YORK GIANTS - Football américain
Date : 04/02/2008 , Horaire : 00H25

Notice the hour --- it looks like not a lot of work will get done on Monday (by me anyway)! The color commentary on the French TV guide reads:

Qui succédera aux Colts d'Indianapolis, les tenants du titre, éliminés en finale de Division par les San Diego Chargers? Après un sans-faute lors de la saison régulière (16 victoires en 16 matches), les New England Patriots de Tom Brady sont les grands favoris de cette édition 2008.

Well --- it's a good thing that the games aren't played on paper - and besides, what do the French know about REAL FOOTBALL anyway?

So, here's hoping the Giants have one more upset in them. I would feel better if we had this guy suiting up, but I don't count this crew out - they seem to have a lot of heart.

Let's GO GIANTS.

I took a minute to translate the French TV Guide on Babel Fish(Some of us can't speak French yet.):

Who will succeed the Colts of Indianapolis, holding them of the title, eliminated finally from Division by San Diego Chargers? After a without-fault at the time of the regular season (16 victories in 16 matches), New England Patriots of Tom Brady are the hot favorites of this edition 2008.

I say it's time to end the "without-fault." Giants will win this match.

Hello McKeegans! I know I'm a little late, but welcome to France! It sounds like you're really enjoying your time here.

I'm sorry I missed your trip out to Versailles--that's where I'm living now, and I would have loved to meet up with you guys!

I'd love to see you guys sometime--it's been such a long time. If you have any questions about anything Paris- or France-related, feel free to email me. I'm no expert, but I do know a thing or two about life here!

Enjoy the Super Bowl! Hope to see you guys soon!

All the best,

Kallie Celeste

Patriots are now with-fault. Giants are holding them of the title this edition 2008.
Hope you were able to stay awake for the whole game!

No problem staying awake for this one, the problem was going to sleep afterward! That wasn't accomplished until after 5:00 AM.
