Think it would be a good idea if all SuperBowl comments were just reserved until next year. Honestly, have you ever seen Peyton Manning play like he were a normal quarterback, prone to making mistakes every now and then? Yeah, you're not alone. So, moving on.
Want to know what life has been like in D.C. for the last few days? Just take a glance at this poor teddy bear:
Had no chance. It's actually even cooler to look at the tree in the background on the right, as it succumbs to the weight of the snow.
Officially, Ronald Reagan International Airport had about 17 inches. Most of the suburbs were in the mid-20's as far as accumulation. Oh, but there's more to come. Starting tomorrow afternoon, another Winter Storm Warning takes effect, with 10-20 more inches of snow expected.
Yes, you read that correctly. This region is expecting 10-20 more inches of snow, on top of the two-plus feet already on the ground in places. Keep in mind that the temperature hasn't gotten above 34 degrees, it was in the teens the last two nights, meaning the vast majority of the snow is still packed in.

This is the definition of calm before the storm right now. I am planning on hunkering down in my office and on couches in DC this weekend so I can actually do things during this snow storm. The projections say 16-24 inches over about 36 hours. Should be fun.
What else happens this weekend? The SuperBowl of course. The game obviously matches the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts. Maybe on Sunday I'll give a prediction. Right now, I don't even know who I want to win.
Which is okay, because right now, the fight is not between the two teams, but about the pro-choice and pro-life crowd. Let me explain.
Maybe you've heard, the Evangelical Christian group Focus on the Family has purchased airtime during the big game and will use it for what has been quite the controversial ad. It hasn't been seen yet, but it will reportedly be former Florida Gator quarterback Tim Tebow, a devout and outspoken Christian, sitting with his mother, talking about her decision to not abort him despite warnings from her doctors of a health issue.
The second the subject matter became common knowledge, it blew up. Women's groups across the country immediately attacked CBS, saying it was reversing a long-standing policy of not showing controversial commercials during major sporting events (not sure if I've ever seen something like that during March Madness). On that point, the women's groups are right - CBS did change the policy. But it is their policy, which they are free to change whenever they want.
