How I wish I had some tickets and I would give them to you but unfortunately I don't. I will check with my son and his friends and I will let you know via your wife of course if I can help.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS

Condolences.

I am equally passionate about the Washington Redskins who can't seem to get it all together. Maybe this year…..

Amy,

Can"t say I disagree with any of your assessments here. Too bad you were only in utero for THAT game – though it was certainly warmer for you. I would have been on the side of my Cowboys for it –sorry.

Chris:
Yes, there is something truly special about sitting with 67,000 of your friends, holding your beer as the ice slowly forms inside the bottle and watching football while the snow swirls around you. The Packers offense line traditionally plays with no sleeves or undershirts under their uniforms. Those are the tough guys!
I have been going to games for as long as I can remember (actually I was at the '67 Ice Bowl, but sadly my Mom was pregnant with me at the time and I didn't get to see it). If your travels bring to the Northland, look me up and I'll see what I can do.

As to Favre, I really like his wife she used to live a few doors down from my cousins and their kids went to school together. Brett needs to have his head examined and retire to play golf.

Way to be spiteful, John! I got plenty of responses from Lakers fans and nobody else was quite as mean-spirited as you. Congrats!

Third best record in the league, an average age of around 26, and a brand-new arena opening next year – seems our team will be around for a while. You guys will be scrambling this off-season to stay competitive with your free agents leaving and Fish retiring (and maybe even Master Phil driving off into the sunset again – I am a life-long Bulls fan from Illinois originally, so I know the pain of ineptness, as well as what a team under the Greatest Coach ever can accomplish).

Yes go Magic – in the toilet where they belong. They are such a worthless team they were lucky to even make it to the finals. Maybe within ten years they will be able to beat the Lakers that is if the Magic franchise is still around.

This email was cute & made me laugh. Good timing- Thank you! Good luck with finding tickets & I look forward to the next email/newsletter!

I can't offer tickets, but I am rooting for the Magic. Not only for my friends in the big "O", but I also hate the "evil Kobe".

Janis –

Thanks for the very kind words.

Mary Jo,

Not quite! Plus you pummeled my Cubs this weekend. Of course, so does everybody else! Goes a long ways to explaining why I root for some winners off the baseball diamond, doesn"t it?

Estella –

Wow! I guess it was His will then, since my wife was able to get tickets and we went to the game last night.

Yes, there are people everywhere starving and/or without shelter, but we, as Americans, give more than double the second most generous nation in the world (England) yearly, and I give regularly to charity, year after year, too… even when I didn"t think I could “afford” it. That we continue to have starving people and people without shelter in our world, is one of those mysteries of life — not easily explained.

To say, “Who the HELL do I think I am” seems a bit extreme to me and even pious (and I don"t mean the “positive” definition of “pious”). Since you reference God so much in your email to me, perhaps you"re aware of Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." I DO give God thanks, but I also believe he wants us to enjoy life and the bounty He"s provided for us.

It will now be my will to remove you from our database.

I really hope you get those tickets so you can enjoy your birthday. You are truly blessed to be so accomplished at only 37 years.

All the best,
Janis
