Even I, normally an extremely *harsh* critic of all things superbowl[snip]

Oh, is *that* what this is all about?

Since I don't see any mention of the aerodynamics of a spinning
football, or the impulse given to a 70kg wide receiver by a body blow
from a 110kg linebacker traveling at 8km/h, or the minimum elevation and
muzzle velocity required to launch a football from the 35 yard line at
the goal and have it pass above the crossbar, I don't see how any of
this is relevant to sci.physics.

Since there are, to my knowledge, as yet no known cases of a punt or a
field goal achieving orbit (even when kicked by Lawrence Tynes) it also
seems irrelevant to sci.space.policy.

Since the most notable celebrity at the game, aside from the players
themselves, was Gisele Bundchen and she didn't even uncover her
Victoria's Secret lingerie, let alone bare a breast, and they didn't air
any political ads, it doesn't look like alt.politics.bush is a relevant
group either.

Since the number of offensive players that may legally be in motion at
the time of the snap isn't legislated by Congress, nor a case of
suspected pass interference tried in court, nor whether to retract the
stadium roof a White House executive decision, this subject seems
unlikely to be relevant in *.policy or alt.politics.* anyway.

So you've scored the trifecta: your usenet post was irrelevant in all
three groups it was crossposted to. The average being seventy percent.

F'up to sci.physics, for want of anything better that I actually read
regularly.

The term actually does apply to science, physics and rocketry as weii,
you know that, right? The patriots lost, and the underdogs won, so that
involves politics.

I think that pretty much covers it.

Next.
