A new season:

Well... the Super bowl is over. Next Sunday I’ll do my taxes. It can;t be any worse than yesterday.

Several minutes had passed by after tuning into SB actvities around 6:15 when i realized I'm supposed to be watching theese infernal commercials. I wish I hadn’t. Most did not pull on my heartstrings or make me laugh. For almost all, I didn't know what was being sold. Except of course when I saw a horse in a pasture being kind to a bird and knew it was this year's Budweiser effort. I thought it was pretty good. Northwestern’s Kellog school of Busienss picked the best and worst and rated them all. Their best was Google’s AI buying a new home. I don't remember it. The worst was Coinbase.

The Stock market’s S&P had a trillion dollar rebound on Friday. Roll that number around in your head for a minute. As I wrote last week, cash hates being on the sideline.

Breezy Johnson won the Olympic Gold for the USA with her Downhill performance in the Olymoics. Breezy won the Gold just in case you missed it in the Lindsey Vonn injury story. Not dismiss the courage of Vonn, but Breezy won the gold and taht was the biggest story.

The Question:

Seattle's Kenneth Walker won the SB MVP. Who were the five previous winners?

Digital is cooler, but analog is easier. Yes, for many, many applications, on/off buttons are optimum.... and they don't collect your personal data.

By the way. Wasn't surprised at the out outcome of the SB. My pick was based totally on hope. But I knew it woudl take a lot because in reality, the NE Offense hadn't really shown up throughout the playoffs.

The Clintons being called to Congress to testify under threat of contempt sets a precident for all succeeding president, especially if the Dems win in Novemrn and you know who gets subpoenaed. That's just new fact of life.

As usual, I planned errands for the respite that is known as the SB halftime show. A lot of people will want to make comments about it because of political innuendos. But I expect it was the same as all of the others with the star jumping around among lots of booty-shaking dancers to uproarious applause. Though, this year it was in a language foreign to about 80% of Americans.

There's a theory going around that many stocks that have zoomed up because of AI tech money may now studently be downgraded because of new AI superiority form newer related companies. Business cycles become shorter and shorter.

For the past few years many people around here have been saying, “I miss the good ole’ snowy winters.” Now they are saying when will it end. Just in case you forgot about human inconsistencies.

I’m right-handed but ever since a small injury to my left arm I’m realizing how much I used that that lefty instead of right. Aaah, the things humans don't know.

This about the time of year I see red hearts flowing in air. This is also the time of year when men panic realizing they don't have a gift yet, or a reservation for a romantic dinner somewhere.

In case you are interested, Prince William and Catherine are sending out word that they fully understand the tragedy and the acts of perpetrators, and that want the people of the world to focus on caring about the Victims.

I got tired of watching SB ads so I missed one from the Epstein Survivors urging Biondi to get out the truth. I expect these woman now adults have a lot of truths a lot of people don’t want to be heard.

All in all, I waited anxiously way too long before the SB to begin, and I went to beb early to sleep away the disappointment. Training camps start in about 5 months. I; should be ok if the Red Sox don't suck.

The Answer:

Last year's winner was Jalen Hurts of teh Eagles. Prior to him we had Patrick Mahomes, Mahomes again, Cooper Krupp ( Yesterday a key player for Seattle), Tom Brady (With Tampa Bay), Mahomes again, Julian Edelman NE, Nick Foles and at Number ten, Tom Brady for New England. In case you are keeping count, Brady won 5, Mahomes and Montana 3.
