I don't imagine there are many people leaving Arizona on this fine Super Bowl Sunday, but I'm one of the few. If I don't miss my connection in Dallas, I should even get home in time for the game. Unfortunately, I have a sinking feeling that God hates me and I'll miss my connection.

According to Slayer, God Hates Us All.
You're a Democrat. Of course God hates you.
I don't hate you but I do hate the airline industry.
Maybe god hates America- that's why he's allowed this
tacky, over-hyped game to become our premier cultural event....
I think the fact that you people are indoctrinated from an early age to identify so strongly with the outcomes of sporting events helps explain why so many of you tend to uncritically go along with being led into war, and to treat it largely as a matter of "rooting for your side." Knock it off.

You're just grumpy because ticket agents never let Us use the unity of the Trinity as an excuse to travel on one ticket instead of three.
Ahh... the tortured life of a blogger for the Atlantic... my sympathies :-)
Well, the Straight Talking Maverick who is actually from Arizona is choosing to watch the game in Boston, and as Straight Talking Maverick, he's picking the Patriots to win.
For the resident goyim I should point out that Matt's just being Jewish.

See, it's that kind of shit that makes me want to vote for Huckabee, even if he doesn't believe in evolution.
And on the 8th day, God put TVs in airport bars. You are truly blessed Matthew.
I didn't go without a bang all my life so you two could bicker about politics.

Ha! That's rich, coming from a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. God's just bitter that NYG knocked Dallas out of the playoffs.

Oh, for Dad's sake, at least try not to be such a Jewish mother streotype. "Nag, nag, nag, I gave up sex for you. Nag, nag, nag, how can you be 30 and not married?"
Though, I have to say, it is funny that of the two of us I'm the only one who ever got nailed.
I was going to chime in with a defense of the perpetual virginity of Jesus, and then I noticed the other meaning of 'Nailed.' Nice.
Jesus wins the thread!
I have one word for you: DVD.
Duh, I meant DVR.
God doesn't hate you, he is just overcome with wrath towards you, for having fallen away from the ways of your fathers, who built, in their errand into the wilderness, a New Jerusalem; return, Matthew, O prodigal son!
-- from "Whining's Reward: Or, the Forlorn Lament, for Matthew Yglesias' (or, All the World's) Declension, preached at Rehoboth, in the Colony of New Plymouth, in New England, the third day of the second month, 1673."
Looks like Matt missed the article in Saturday's Weekend Journal, about all the people who go to the pre-Super Bowl events to schmooze, do business, etc., only to leave before gametime. Leigh Steinberg among them, as I recall.
God hates Matt because He doesn't like typos, bad grammar, and people who know nothing about economics.
Or people from Harvard.
God is a Yale man.

No need to rush home. I have heard from a friend in the video scouting department for New England the game ends 31 to 17, Patriots' favor.
