I'm a long-time Bears fan, living near the "Windy City" but I sure wanted to see the Vikings play in their home town facility, and, of course, defeat the Patriots and the Bill Belachik (sic) syndrome. But you have to give Brady credit, he is a great "come-back" quarterback, having pulled off many 4th quarter "come from behind" final wins.
For my money, he'd be smart to quit now, while he is relatively healthy, enjoy his knockout blonde wife and the kids, and maybe do some volunteer coaching for NFL groups that work with needy kids that need a "hand up" in life.

Got a B17 in 48 scale and also recently acquired a 96 scale USS Constitution, Ol Ironsides. I built that ship once but had to sell it before a large move. Now I can build it again.

We do, which is quite a feat considering there is no ice here for about 99% of the time .

He was the hero of a 1950s/60s Disney movie, "Hans Brinker and the silver skates" which apparently influenced a generation of Americans (wrongly) about Holland.

Ah, that was the guy with the finger in the dyke (just googled it). It's not a Dutch story, so we hardly know anything about it.

Finger in the Dike- maybe Holland-- Finger in the Dyke- a LPGA tournament- where you see the "Dykies wearing Nikes" and the caddies take liberties with their digits- "Hole In One" takes on a new meaning!! Hansie

I'll trade your five inches of snow for all the flooding we are experiencing here in the Midwest. Hansie

"Hans, are those silver skates on your feet?" "Ja, Katrina, they are made of silver"-- "Wunderbar!-- the Amerikans have their Lone Ranger, but he only has silver bullets- here we have: Open whorehouses in Amsterdam, free to smoke marijuana, great Heineken beer, and men rich enough to afford silver skates- Life is gut, Ja?"
