I'm in Bloomington (IU) right now and I think the Colts will take it. I also think there will be stories in Monday's paper about drunken fraternity students damaging property on campus.
The NFL has nixed a church's plans to use a wall projector to show the Colts-Bears Super Bowl game, saying it would violate copyright laws.
NFL officials spotted a promotion of Fall Creek Baptist Church's "Super Bowl Bash" on the church Web site last week and overnighted a letter to the pastor demanding the party be canceled, the church said.
Initially, the league objected to the church's plan to charge a fee to attend and that the church used the license-protected words "Super Bowl" in its promotions.

"We have contracts with our (TV) networks to provide free over-the-air television for people at home," Aiello said. "The network economics are based on television ratings and at-home viewing. Out-of-home viewing is not measured by Nielsen."
I know things like this have happened before, but it just amazes me how penny pinching NFL execs can be. I don't know much about the Nielson ratings and how they are calculated, but it seems that numbers would be pretty inaccurate anyway on events like the superbowl because everyone and their second cousin goes to watch the game at a party.
And the fact that just this one instance isn't going to stop the bazillion other gatherings that are exactly like this one.
Anyways, Bears 28 Colts 24. Bear's D scores or directly responsible for at least 14 of the Bears' points.

You realise it took the Neocons a couple of weeks to realise Colbert was actually a parody? They thought he was a Neocon comedian.
