Football madness

The Super Bowl is almost upon us, bringing in its wake its unique form of insanity. The commercials are the best part, of course - I watched the game last year in the Dive, sitting with a copy of Malory's Works in my lap for those boring bits between commercial breaks - but the casual viewer is also treated to the antics of some really, really strange fans.

My dad just informed me that this afternoon is playoff time - one game at 2, one game at 5. Some fans take this more seriously than others. Consider this poor woman, who had her labor induced so her husband wouldn't miss the Bears-Saints game today: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6391994?MSNHPHCP&GT1=9012.

Labor of love, eh?
