d.: It looks like there is a light on in my best friend’s garage! He asked me to check on his animals while he is out of town. I wonder if Cal.E. decided to come home? I will check. “Cal.E., are you in the garage?”
C.: Yes, d.c. it’s me. I decided to come home and watch the Super Bowl. I am writing a letter to the commissioner, though. I do NOT think that any team should have home-field advantage in the Super Bowl, which has happened for the last two years!
d.: Cal.E., you do know that the Super Bowl is NEXT weekend, right?
C.: What is THIS weekend?
d.: The Pro Bowl.
C.: I thought that was LAST weekend and the NBA All-Star game was NEXT weekend.
d.: No, Cal.E. It is the Pro Bowl this weekend, the Super Bowl NEXT weekend, and the NBA All-Star game the weekend after that. All of this time, the Olympics are going home. I can understand why you came home, since you are such a big sports fan.
I WOULD like to know, though, where the Super Bowl should be played, since it is usually played in an NFL stadium. What NFL city would guarantee that it would be a neutral site?
C.: Houston
d.: Cal.E., that is NOT right. Accurate, but inappropriate. On another note, you do NOT have money on this game, do you?
C.: Oh, no, no. I have learned my lesson about gambling with Tom the Tabby. His enforcer almost broke all of my bones! I am done with that!
d.: Good. That first game you ever bet on should have taught you a lesson. I mean, THAT was the strangest thing I have EVER seen. When the Miami kicker kicked that field goal, the ball bounced off the crossbar, then one upright, then the crossbar again, then, the other upright, then, the ball just hung in midair until time expired! That swirling wind made it do that! It was the strangest thing I have EVER seen.
C.: Yes, we did not know WHAT the ball was going to do. It was so strange what it finally did. It hit the crossbar when it came down, then bounced up and…well, you know what happened.
d.: I do. They still show it on “Sports Center” sometimes. Well, I must be going, but remember NO betting on any of those games, Cal.E. I mean it!
C.: Okay, d.c. I will see you later! (Little does he know that I still have the money I won on the Miami Dallas game. What is the line on the Super Bowl?)
