If you've never seen a NYC ticker tape parade, today is your chance.

There is a parade for the Super Bowl Champion NY Giants. It's a pretty cool experience.

Keep in mind that many people would like a parade for Iraq and Afghanistan war vets. Hopefully we can do it after they pull out of Afghanistan. Of course, if Obama doesn't win, the republicans will keep us in Afghanistan forever.

I'm not a football fan, but with all the hype around this game I had to watch, and I admit it lived up to every bit of it.

Wow. What an amazing display of athleticism and true grit from both sides.

people would think more about how great it would be to bring our soldiers home from Afghanistan. Just a thought.
