I have a prediction

Go, Lippizanners! (That's where we'll be Sunday afternoon.)

I like both teams. I was cheering Da Bears in the '80s, with Ditka's brand of football, Superbowl Shuffle, and all that.

I don't much care for dome/astroturf teams in general, but Peyton and the Colts have really impressed me over the last few years. I'm glad to see they're finally going to the Big One.

Mary's big "rubbing shoulders with celebrities" moment was getting to hang out with Da Bears in a bar during Spring Training. Of course, this was just the local pub in Platteville, WI, when she was staying with her dad, and she was 14 or 15. It's perfectly okay for young teens to hang out and drink pop in a bar in that part of the country (as it should be). She turned 38 yesterday, so this little adventure would have been during Da Bears' 1980s heyday, when the Class of '83 was hitting the ground.

Not that she give a flip about football. But all four of my brothers-in-law will be rooting insanely for Da Bears.

And, I kinda hope Da Bears win, just for the sake of the family. After all, they're Cubs fans, too.  ;)

My wife and I used to do that annual trek to the Platteville training camp.  It was surprising in a way to see how 'real' the players were in that environment at the bar. Seeing Jim Harbaugh, starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears, waiting in line for a beer and pulling out a 5 dollar bill.....paying his own way. I guess i was surprised to see them engaged in commerce rather than having people take care of them.

This years team does not have the personality of the 85 team but I wish them well.

I saw the 'Lippizanners'  at Madison Square Garden in the mid 60's  when Col. Podhajsky was still director.  As you probably know, Kevin, some of the worlds best 'Dressage' is done in NH.

I was surprised with what those big horses could do.

I now predict that Caleb will be one of a few colts fans at the Railroad on Sunday. He will bring both lucky shirts just in case they are needed like last week.

I think the Colts will win.
