Will's Good Idea for Super Bowl Sunday

Hibachi last night with friends. The girls love hibachi. 

We spent a lot of time yesterday thinking about our victory over SODA PDF. What's the reason why? We've flown off the handle, freaked out, and gone nuclear on companies, and been a complete a-hole to their customer service staff before, with little effect. Why'd we win this time? We think SODA PDF caved because we went to Twitter. We'll keep that in mind. We'll also be writing about this all week. 

The Big Game at the End: First off, if anyone gets that reference we'll be highly impressed.  Mrs. Stroock is looking forward to her Eagles' second Super Bowl in five years. They've really had a good streak during that time, haven't they? And let's not forget her Phillies went to the World Series last year. A heck of year. 

Despite being a Giants fan we'll be pulling for the Eagles, of course. We won't be disappointed if the Chiefs win. We've always liked head coach Andy Reid, who took the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2004, by the way. We're not throwing or attending a Super Bowl party this year, but our father is coming down for the game. 

As to the contest...Andy Reid is not great in big games. Chiefs' QB Pat Mahomes is hurt and when he can't scramble, he's not the same. Outside of Jason Kelce, Mahomes doesn't have great receivers. We think the Eagles' historically good pass rush will win the game for them - going away in the 4th quarter. 

As for Will's Good Idea for Super Bowl Sunday...in a World War 1990 short story compilation, why not a story about a sports ball team playing on during the war? The war begins in late spring, we've always kept the timing deliberately vague, so that means baseball. There's a baseball reference in World War 1990: Castro's Folly.  Bahhhh! Who has the time?
