Game On!

 ***** CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF PARTICIPATION *****

☹️


(by Primordial "touchdown!" Soup)


Super Bowls are a lot like weddings.  A lot of planning and preparation, a lot of anticipation, and a LOT of money, and then the whole thing is over in a matter of a few hours. 😁 But oh, the memories!  I saw where tickets are starting at $3400 each, just for the nose-bleed section!  You had to call in for tickets over $14,000 each. 😱

Some people watch the Super Bowl for the half-time entertainment, or maybe for the commercials to judge the best ones, or maybe even for the game itself.  I hate/love the game. It’s brutal and savage, but it also is a contest of athleticism.  I try to concentrate on the latter, just to help clear my conscience. 😊

Anyway, let’s make it a contest of fun for us bloggers here too.  I am going to ask some yes/no questions and some that involve numbers, regarding the outcome of the game.  If you are up for it, please play along. 


Super Bowl Contest

1. How many total touchdowns will be scored in the game? (includes total by both teams)  

Your Guess _____

 

2. How many total field goals will be attempted in the game, whether or not successful?  

Your Guess _____

 

3. How many 2-point conversions will be attempted in the game, whether or not successful? 

Your Guess _____


4. Will any extra point after touchdown be missed by either team? 

Yes or No

 

5. Will the game go into overtime? 

Yes or No

 

6. Who will win the game? 

Bengals or Rams

 

7. What will be the final score?  Note- One point given for each team’s correct final score.  E.g., if you say Bengals 31 and Rams 28, and you guess the final score as Bengals 31 and Rams 21, you’d get 1 point for the correct Bengals final score but no points for the Rams incorrect score.

Your final score  B: ____  R: _____



Contest Rules:

·       No entries will be accepted here after 3pm eastern time on 2/13/2022.

·       One point will be awarded for each of your correct answers. 

·       Try to format and answer the questions without complication.  IOW, don’t opine on why you chose your answers you did, or make your answers vague or hard for me to interpret.  Such answers will not be considered in your point tally. 

·       Poster with the most points wins the coveted virtual “Vince Lombardi Trophy” to be awarded here, sometime on Monday, the day after the game. And, maybe Snowflake, the forum owner, will feature your winning post.

·       May the luckiest, most clairvoyant person win (and they will)!  And no cheating please. 😉

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
