    This is my favorite time of year, sportswise. We're into Wild Card weekend, when I pretty much binge watch, trying to catch every game. Next weekend are the Divisional playoffs... followed the weekend after that by the Conference championships. By the time the Super Bowl rolls around a couple weeks after that, it's pretty much anticlimactic as far as I'm concerned. The SB has become more and more a mega entertainment event, where people hold SB watching parties, and in many cases the game itself plays second fiddle to all the festivities. Lots of non-fans tune in just to see the commercials, which has become a thing in itself. There's also the over-the-top halftime show, where entertainers try to one-up each other every year. So Wild Card and Divisional weekends are my favorite.

    watching those two movies showed how big a target the super bowl would be
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Black Sunday is an "old as hell" movie (1977). Special effects were probably pretty hokey back then.

    Never actually saw the movie, but yeah... that was back when disaster movies were all the rage (Towering Inferno, Earthquake, etc). People couldn't get enough of these movies and Hollywood just kept on churning them out.

    Luckily no one has ever tried to put Black Sunday into practice. At least no one that we know of.

    Back to the games themselves.

    Wild Card round is over. Divisional Playoffs are next.

    AFC:
    Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs
    Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills

    NFC:
    Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles
    Washington Commanders (really the Redskins) at Detroit Lions



    Like many, I'd like someone besides the Chiefs to win the SB this year. I don't think the Texans will be up to the task... but if the Bills win their game I'll be firmly rooting for them to beat the Chiefs in the AFC Conference Championship.

    I thoroughly dislike the Ravens, although they're playing pretty hot right now. So I'll be decidedly rooting for the Bills.

    Rams-Eagles... meh. Either is fine with me. It should be a great game, but I'd slightly favor the Eagles.

    Washington is a good team, with probably the best rookie quarterback in the league this year. But like many, sentimentally I'd like the Lions to win. They've never won, and they have a great team this year.

    I'm gonna be honest, and I hope not to jinx anything. (Yes... knock on wood).

    As a longtime NFL fan, I've frequently wondered the same thing. I mean... these terrorist nuts like high profile/ high headcount targets. Hence, 9/11.

    The Super Bowl is one of the premier events in U.S., sports or otherwise.

    Sure... security is tight. But you know these terrorists. They'll scheme and scheme and find ways.

    In fact, Hollywood sometimes (unwittingly) tries to give these nuts ideas. You'd think someone would've tried something by now.

    Then again, maybe they have, and have been silently thwarted without too much fanfare or publicity.

    Anything's possible.
