Sunday/ is that a nuclear reactor in your coat?

I did not watch the football NFL and AFL championship games on TV this afternoon, but I see the enormous sideline coat (if one can call it that) of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was made into a meme* on Twitter.   (The Patriots advanced to a record ninth Superbowl final, against the Atlanta Falcons).

*a humorous image, video, or piece of text that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in his enormously bulked up coat, keeping him warm on the sideline. And is that the bare arm of No 11 of Julian Edelman, on his right? Does he not need a jacket? Someone, get the man a jacket!

Sunday/ football overdose

Check out the enormous warming jacket (I think that’s what it is) that No 11 Julian Edelman (on the left) is wearing.  He plays for the New England Patriots (from the greater Boston area).

It was a BIG weekend for the National Football League with four play-off games.  Looking back, I am a little shocked to realize how much football I had watched ! Probably more than I have watched all season, yikes.  The Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers here on our home turf on Saturday to go through to next weekend, where they will meet the Greenbay Packers from Wisconsin.
