OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Bob Cook, one of the every Super Bowl club members, died this weekend. He couldn't make Super Bowl XLV.

It would suck to be a grandkid of one of these guys. "Sorry kids, I could have put all of you through college, but instead I decided to drop a hundred grand so I could attend the #1 TV-watching event of the year."

That he was a Packers fan and season ticket holder makes me smile a little.

In his defense, he's a little less of a douche than the "I've missed births of my own children" guy. Going to a Super Bowl in the 1970s was hardly the bank account killer it is today. And I believe the NFL started offering these dopes a chance to buy tickets at face value 20 years ago, when the secondary market was getting out of control. He also owned a travel agency, so I'm sure a junket to the Super Bowl wasn't nearly as cost-prohibitive as it would be to you or I.

Not as much as Huey as he is one person closer to getting his beloved's season tickets.
