It’s an unpopular opinion, and will NEVER happen given that this is a multi billion dollar biz, and that the Super Bowl is their modern day crown jewel…but just once I’d like to see that modern day crown jewel take place outdoors, in a cold weather region.

It's even worse, I was playing football indoors (obviously) with a balloon at 2am (even more obviously) and caught my right kneecap flush on the side of one of these characters. Only one winner that night

Knees are tricky wee buggers, dislocated mine when I was at university. Luckily I was drunk (obviously) so I remember very little of it, but the physical therapy afterwards was no joke. Glad to hear you're getting through it all well 👍

That’s great to hear! My issues were obviously different, exacerbated by the multiple previous surgeries, but you are definitely more of the norm patient.
Don’t forget the stool softener. I wouldn’t wish that issue on anyone. Well, almost anyone 🤣

Thats good you are serious about this. I think you'll progress nicely. Jumping into the PT with a dedicated outlook is half the battle.

The composition is terrible, but 2 lovers traveling across the world to stand transfixed in front of Botticelli’s homage to love is so compelling.
The model for this Venus was Simonetta Vespucci (cousin to the famous Amerigo). She was Bottecelli’s muse & died at 23. He is buried at her feet.

From an interview with a Delco resident, just now:
"A hoagie tray is a meaningful unit of generosity. People know what that means."
