I\'m not a fan of football or any other professional sports. However, I don\'t care if other people are into them. Live and let live, eh? Many of \_my\_ interests certainly bore a large fraction of the population to tears.\

However, this does bother me:\
\
\"The Times reports that the people of Minnesota spent half a billion dollars (more accurately written as \$500,000,000.00) to build a stadium and make concessions that led to being able to host the big game today. And, like every other city that has invested heavily in the NFL over the last decade or more, they will certainly lose money, probably a lot of money. More money than we can easily visualize.\"\
