[Flannista]

I choose the Patriots over the Ravens and the 49ers over the Giants.

There, I said it.

[treesta]

Gotta root for the Ravens. Only local team to make it thus far. Do think the Giants will take it today? I'm gonna wear my 'Skins jersey, though.

'Skins fan through and through.

[treesta]

Where are my burgundy and gold pom-poms?

[Flannista]

I'm wearing fat pants.

[Matissta]

Flann, the 49ers?! It is soooooo over between us! I'm so hurt by your betrayal.

As a true fan, I'm sticking with my team.

treesta, the Ravens are more than a step up from the Redskins. Good for you for supporting a winning team...but not today.

[Matissta]

The parents of the "Onesie Palooza" baby are rooting for separate teams in the Patriots/Ravens game. He's from the Boston area, while she's from the Baltimore area.

I'd hate to be in that household. Although we're pretty close to that at Flann's, now that I know she's rooting for the 49ers!

Actually, I wouldn't mind if any of the teams playing made it to the Super Bowl.

Go GIANTS!

[Sista C]

Giants. Ravens. Done deal.

[treesta]

"treesta, the Ravens are more than a step up from the Redskins. Good for you for supporting a winning team...but not today."

Matiss, I think that is called a triple-backhanded compliment. Damn, you are good.

[Flannista]

Four syllables from Sista C.

Four LOSING syllables.

[Sista C]

I'm betting a box of crackerjacks on my picks, Flann. Yours are just plain wrong. Miracle margarita or no.

[Flannista]

Matiss -- are you threatening to "un-friend" me?

[Flannista]

I'm going to text the Onesie Palooza mom and see how they are handling the divided loyalties in their house, so I can get tips on how to handle ours.

Matiss -- remember -- the GOOD tequila is at my house.

[Flannista]

I take that bet, Sista C and I raise you a box of Snow Caps.

[Flannista]

Sista C -- who's Betterhalf goin' with?

[treesta]

Good picks, Sista C. I'm with you.

[Flannista]

Et tu, treesta?

Forget the fresh lime.

[Sista C]

Behalf says "Defense Wins Championships" - Ravens
Blood won't let me go against NY

[Contemplaysista]

I'm going with the Patriots and the 49ers.

My beloved hails from the Bay Area so we are with the 49ers all the way to the Super Bowl!

[Flannista]

Charlissta says, "Offense sells tickets and defense wins championships" -- and SHE'S a professional, licensed spiritual director. And if SHE says so, then better half must be onto something.

But all of youse is wrong. Comtemplaysista -- who doesn't even live in this country and does sitting meditation every damn day chose the way I did.

Patriots because I have beloveds in New England and the 49ers because San Francisco has a great modern art museum.

[Sista C]

I accept your snow caps bet, flannista. I expect the size box one would find at CostCo.

[Flannista]

Never been in a CostCo, Sista C, and won't after today because I'm not goin' to have to buy them.

Hell, I'm bettin' Twizzlers, too, -- the ones you get at Costco in those barrels.

[Sista C]

Atta girl, Treesta!

[Flannista]

treesta is showing up around 1:30 so we're properly snookered before the first game actually begins. She'll be cryin' in that margarita before the first half of the first game is over.

[treesta]

What better bettin' - Crackerjacks, Snowcaps and Twizzlers - Costco or any other variety.

[treesta]

Takes two margaritas before I start cryin', Flann.
