    Sitting home hosting a superbowl party, Don't have to leave till 3am ish.
    Dispatch calls and asks/leaves a message wanting to know if I can do a Detroit(Mt. Clemons) by 8am/7 my time. someone called off, really important load. I'm going to do it, but just gonna let him twist for a bit and just maybe he'll find someone else to take it.

    It could be worse. You could be a Lions fan like me. We have 1 whole playoff win in the past 56 years. It was in 1991 when I was 6 so I can't really cherish the memory.

    I'm in a TS in Mississippi. I heard someone listening to sports radio earlier. It's now raining, so his windows are rolled up. The TV in the lounge was on for the game, but there were only three people in there. I guess people are watching/listening in their trucks.

    Myself, I was planning on making the 40 mile trip to my mom's house to watch the game with my little brother. We got about 5 inches of nasty snow yesterday, so I ended up just staying put. Driving 40 miles back tonight with drunk people on expressways that are ice rinks didn't seem like a very good proposition to me.

    So I'm watching the game in my apartment with my cat.

    No different then any other day out on the road. Most of us have TV's and satellite tv on the truck.

    We're rolling on the road, I'm in the sleeper berth, we are listening to the game on Sirius Radio. We will stop to watch the second half before I start my shift, getting in enough miles so I can make delivery tomorrow.

    Speaking of rolling, how 'bout my beloved Seahawks!!!???? I went to their first exhibition game in the Kingdome. It's been a long time coming...
