PERHAPS THE ONLY REASON TO ROOT FOR THE PATS: In something that demonstrates the rare confluence of many of this blog's obsessions--football, food, gambling, and politics--here's the annual "Congressional Super Bowl Bet" report. If the Eagles win on the shoulders of Adam's boy Donovan F. McNabb, Sen. Edward Kennedy will graciously provide a gourmet meal from Boston's Legal Seafoods for Sen. Rick Santorum and 20 members of his staff. If, however, Adam Vinateri manages to kick yet another miraculous last-second field goal, Kennedy and his staff will indulge in Geno's cheese steaks courtesy of Sen. Man-on-Dog.

Kennedy and his staff apparently have previously enjoyed Primanti Bros. sandwiches from Pittsburgh courtesy of Sen. Santorum after the Pats defeated the Steelers two weeks ago. Now, much as I might like the Eagles to win, I'm unambgiously supportive of anything that causes Sen. Santorum to diminish himself.
