I do understand that I don't live in Minneapolis -- at least not now. I did for too brief a time several decades ago -- and I'm not much of a football fan. There are several teams I'm willing to root for, but none of them are in this year's Super Bowl, alas. And even if my all time favorite team were there, I'd simply be glad and hope they'd win.

I do not want to be trashing fans, but still, ten days? It seems disproportionate.
