What a fantastic feeling to know that I've conveyed the complexity of the game, and the intelligence required to play it. Far too many science nerds (like me) think that it's the realm of "dumb jocks," but that simply isn't true.

I'm thrilled you enjoyed the SuperBowl, and here's to wishing you many more enjoyable hours as you peek in on the game's progress. -Scott- Wow, you have totally made my day.
