    A few years ago I would have been watching the TV from the time I got up until the game was over. Yesterday I was up in the mountains taking a Winter Survival Course and didn't get back until half time and only watched the 3rd quarter of the game. Life is so much better now that the Broncos are such a small part of my life.

    After a Broncos loss, there are more accidents the next day, and more women needing a shelter from abuse...pretty sad. I like Pro Football, but the money and energy spent on something that produces at a best a negative sum benefit to society...getting harder and harder to be a fan.

    I don't doubt that but do you have any links to back that up?

    This myth was proven false years (decades?) ago, regarding the Super Bowl. It put forth by the feminist radicals one year. It had legs, that's for sure. But it's bullshit.

    Good on you for working in a women's shelter. If you find it coincidence that DUI accidents are higher on SuperBowl sunday's and that the rear end collisions are up a measurable amount during rush hour after a home team loss, well that is great for you.

    Domestic violence related hospitalizations also increase after a major snowstorm, but then that is just coincidence too I guess.

    Regardless, people get WAY too wrapped up about Pro Sports.

    Yep and the media is such a help, here is a screenshot of the 9News Home Page Saturday night, 18 different stories about the Broncos, not a single actual news story on 9NEWS website.

    Easy now. I'm just saying that the myth that domestic violence skyrockets during the Super Bowl is just that. The statistics just don't show that. Never worked in a woman's shelter - don't know where that came from. http://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/superbowl.asp

    And yeah, folks get way too wrapped up in pro sports.

    I was having fun playing board games at the brewhouse rather than watching the game. My friend and I went to another restaurant for dinner and saw the "highlights" of the game...it looked pretty bad :P
