Roger: Um, Jason? Sports-chatter's about to come on. Jason: Hee hee... I got the gatling gun! Roger: Jason? It's the week of the Super Bowl soaking up every pre-game detail is something of a tradition with me. Whaddya say? Can I watch the TV? Jason: Hee see, I got the fire darts! Roger: Son? Are you even listening? Jason: Hee hee... I got the fission bazooka! Roger: Darn it! Why won't this clicker work?! Jason: Hee hee... I got the batteries.

This also being a classic strip, for those of you who remember, the Super Bowl used to be telecast every year on the last Sunday in January (Which explains the storyline). Now it’s the first Sunday in February. And it is not the final bowl game of the NFL Football Season. The AFC-NFC Pro Bowl from Honolulu, Hawaii (Which always follows the Super Bowl a week later) is. But from what I’ve heard, it’s also considered to be the least watched Bowl Game in sports broadcast history. Even I don’t watch it.

Poor Rodger. Outwitted by his superiorly clever son (again).

Wow Net1360, pedantic much? Starting next year, the Pro Bowl will be played during the off week before the Super Bowl. Check out the story here: http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80dbeb16&template=without-video&confirm=true

Super bowl - I’m guessing it’s not the plate you use at an all-you-can-eat buffet?

Lewis Black: “I watch the Super Bowl every year because I have no religion and the Super Bowl is on Sunday, so at least I’m trying.”

Pick Jason up by the seat of his pants, carry him to the front door, open it, fling him outside and tell him he has been sitting on his butt long enough and it’s time for some fresh air.

Wow sentinatim, thanks. Now the Pro Bowl moves from an island with palm trees to a state with palm trees (well, both Florida and Hawaii are states).

My daughter was born at halftime of the worst Super Bowl ever played. We had a party for her first birthday, and the NFL game that day was probably the best Super Bowl ever played.
I watched the country I was supposed to be defending by some Byzantine excuse for logic in Vietnam snatched back from ghouls, Constitutional criminals and war profiteers today.

Nett1360, The Pro Bowl is so anti-climatic! Think about it! The Super Bowl has been getting better over the years, remember when they used to be blow-outs? The Pro Bowl is a real let down, in fact, after the Super Bowl, Sundays become just another day of the week until SEpt. rolls around again!!
