I was wrong.
Fonzie never admitted he was wrong, but the Carolina over Denver by a 45-17 score was a tad off and also my prediction of total Armageddon for the planet on Tuesday obviously never occurred. That’s the last time I rely on Wikipedia.
But let’s see a show of hands here. How many loyal Bradford Era readers thought the Panthers would score just 10 points on Sunday?
You did? Yeah and you’d better have Geppetto guide you to the mirror because your nose is growing faster than Pinocchio’s.
They say (and you they are) the Super Bowl was boring with all the penalties and the dominating defenses. I like a low-scoring game. It’ s less to comprehend.
And I was happy for Peyton Manning’s alleged swan song and that cry baby Cam Newton’s meltdown. Waaaaaaaaaa. That was a lame attempt to type in a cry. My special effects department has the weekend off.

After planting a kiss on Papa John (better pizza, better ingredients), Manning in a post game interview with CBS had something bleeped out about his wife. Then then he said was going to have a few Budweisers and say a prayer to the man upstairs.
So this Bud is for Him.

I’m a card-carrying Rock-and-Roller from way back and I thought the Super Bowl halftime show was crap. Can I say “crap?” I just did twice.
That British Coldplay band wasn’t even American and for a Super Bowl, that’s un-American.

Until a few weeks ago didn’t know a Zika from a Zima, but this nasty Brazilian mosquito is threatening the Summer Olympics.
That God we don’t have a bug like that around here, although at minus seven today that should keep the skeeters off the meters.
The only flying insects I have to worry about are bees because I’m allergic to the stings. So keep me out of the garden today.

Who the heck is Harry Statham?
Is he the office creep who hangs out by the cooler and asks if he can pour you a water?
No Statham is the Division II men’s basketball coach at McKendree University who just set the NCAA all-time record for victories with 1,100.
And where is McKendree? It’s in Lebanon (ILL) if you must pry.

These places are getting tougher to pronounce.
Where the heck is Monchengladbach? Try saying that with a mouth full of Oreos.
It is a railway city of 256,853 in western Germany that sports the fourth-place Borussia Monchengladbach soccer team in the Bundesliga.
I just had the schnitzel with a side order of Bundesliga and it was excellent.
