I am so critical of this country and the way it has been dumbed down and WalMarted steadily for the past two decades that I am considering seeking asylum in Cuba ... it's not far and they can torture me at Guantanamo first!)

That is unless you are a member of a very small elite group.

Originally Posted By leemac I saw the game at ESPN Zone at LA Live (thankfully one of the ones that is remaining open). It wasn't in 3D which was the only disappointment. The Championship Bar was packed to the rafters with a whole mix of folks including a vocal English minority. It had a blast and would recommend it to anyone. Beer and football are the perfect partners.
