What did people think of Brady's sideline demeanor during the game? It seemed like every time NBC showed him he was staring at the ground spitting like a baseball player.

Brady is an elite spitter. I was wondering if he was spitting constantly or if the cameras had impeccable timing. There was one really slow spit that I found amusing.

Why was the cat ejected? I saw no red card. I will say that the cat is quite used to humans; a feral cat would have been scratching and clawing when it was handled, and you would have seen some shredded security staff. Maybe this is the kitty that is missing in the Doritos ad.

Here's something to ease the pain of the loss for (male) Patriots' fans. A nice bit of eye candy for those who appreciate same.

I don't watch Extra.
I don't know who she is.
I had no deep routing interest in who won the Super Bowl.
But I'm glad the Giants won.

Definitely an Anfield cat (inevitable Twitter account) and the wags would say that it's safer in the ground than on the streets. I don't know if you caught the song coming out of the Kop at the end of that clip, but it was this:
"We only hate cats, / we only hate ca-a-atts, / we're no racists / we only hate cats."
(Based on this.)
And the club wonders whether it's a descendent of an abandoned cat adopted during its glory days in the 80s.

Screw the SpoFi fantasy baseball league. This season I'm going with Baseball Boyfriend.

And the song before "we only hate cats" was "a cat, a cat, a cat" to the tune of "attack, attack, attack". You've got to give it to the Kop improv brigade.

Damnit lbb, I don't know what to do with that. Guess I will take my pawn business elsewhere!

You can still get a Jacksonville Jaguars Torry Holt T-shirt. While supplies last.

I'm holding out for one of the new Jags cheerleader outfits.
