TOM BRADY VS...ROGER BART??

That’s my choice for Sunday, though really, there is no choice.

Tom Brady leads the Patriots against the Chargers Sunday at 3 for the AFC championship. I don’t have tickets.

Also Sunday at 3, Roger Bart (right) leads the cast of “Young Frankenstein” onto a Broadway stage. I do have tickets.
Or, more accurately, the Dearly Beloved has two tickets and one husband who will be firmly in tow.

You know Brady.
If you’re not sure who Bart is, he’s a very talented guy, best known as the crazy pharmacist on “Desperate Housewives” a couple of seasons ago.
So I will be at the show…enjoying…and hoping I get to see the end of the game. In the nearest bar.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Bart and the other headliners take Sunday off…TO WATCH THE GAMES?

NO. NOT AT ALL.

I know the understudies have talent, but hey, nobody’s going to watch the game to see Matt Cassel quarterback the Patriots.

Have a good weekend, and Go Pats! (And Giants, too.)

Now, Gerry, you just know I couldn't let this one go without comment! If you're really desperate, I'd be glad to supply a play by play to your Blackberry. Because you know I'll be firmly planted in front of the TV, with one of those adult beverages firmly in hand! So, ummm, have fun?!?

BTW, does Dearly Beloved know what a good hubby you are? ;)

I don't have a Blackberry. This may be the first time I've ever seen the value in having one. And it may be the last.
Truth is, I was totally on board with this. I just forgot to say, "Hey let me check the NFL playoff schedule first."
And THAT would have gone over real well.

What's funny is that I'm the one who's the real football (read sports-in-general) fan. MY Dearly Beloved always tells his friends that he's the luckiest man alive - never gets grief for watching sports on TV, 'cause I've usually flipped it on before he does. When he works weekends (pharmacy mgr) I call him at work with play and score updates. LOL! Well, then, I hope you really do enjoy!

I don't have a Dearly Beloved, at least one who wears my ring...technically (long story, but she lives in Minnesota). But I agree with you Gerry...GO PATS. But I've never been able to root for the Yankees in helmets (the Giants).
Have a great time in THE CITY. At first glance, I thought that picture was Dan Ackroyd, in one of his brilliant SNL skits. But upon closer inspection, no. Again, safe trip!

Pats and Giants! Who would have guessed the Giants would win yet another one on the road? Both games were enjoyable.
