Post-game comments. I understand the game was broadcast in 232

I'm sitting here, wondering why in the world I wrote so much about a
topic that is of no more than passing interest to me. Perhaps

more recent post on the topic of breastfeeding, here…
All that "praise the lord" crap during the acceptance of the trophy ceremony really chapped my hide. Like the lord gives a fuck about football.
232? I didn't even know there were that many countries.
Checking Wiki...yes, there are 243 "entities considered to be countries". I wonder which 11 didn't make the grade. I'm guessing North Korea is one, but on the other hand I hear they have a huge Bears following over there. :)
