Football Trivia

 Latin scholars remind us that in a few weeks they will be playing Super Bowl LVI - but thankfully in Southern California and not in Green Bay for who wants to be in Northern Wisconsin in Mid-February.                                   The Packers were ambushed on their own frozen turf this past weekend and were eliminated from further consideration, which will give their QB time to get VAXXED.      As further insult we have one of Donald Trump's henchmen describing their coup attempts as including the "Green Bay Sweep" while oldtimers will recall the real "SWEEP" was Jim Taylor leading Paul Hornung on an end run but certainly not political.

In Kiss Me Kate, Cole Porter admonished us to "Brush up your Shakespeare" - which I did and found a Bill Shakespeare played football for Notre Dame mid-1930s. While he did place kicking, he was not a punter, which we know has a taint of gambling in the United Kingdom. tjs
