Sorry, the government cancelled funding for that research project.

That must explain the great success private industry has had with it.

Even I, normally an extremely *harsh* critic of all things superbowl and
super sunday related, having witnessed the entire Green Bay phenomena
during the early sixties myself, was impressed with the outcome here.
There was no way I was *not* going to watch those last few minutes.
Patriotism really is no longer a valid paradigm in this country.
'They Might Be Giants' is the new American national anthem.

What about the propaganda piece in the beginning? NFL and the Founding
Fathers, rah, rah USA and NFL. Wow 10 solid minutes and even a token
woman (Pat Tillman's widow). I didn't know what to think other than
with all the steriods stuff in baseball; as if the NFL was really
vying to have the "National Pastime" forever changed. And then I
thought, geez, I hope they check those NFL players for steriods
someday!

Fortunately, I only watched the last seven minutes of the game.
That's the extent of my interests in sports, but since the sports freaks
will be talking about this for decades I needed to be up to speed on it.

I heard the last few minutes because the truck parked next to me in my pharmacy
parking lot happened to have it turned up too loud to ignore. Saved from
ignominy by circumstance, whew!

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.
