When I read that book Cold Beer & Crocodiles(I've mentioned it before and recommend it to everybody), the dude was always eating Austrailian Meat Pies. What are these exactly? Are they like regular meat pies?

Well I didn't think you guys got meat pies at all in Northern America??

Basically an Aussie meat pie is better than any other in the world. We use actualy beef steak mince (not offal) smothered ina gravy and it is encased in pastry making for one delicious treat!

You guys don't call it offal? (I think I spelt it correctly)

Offal is like Liver, Kidneys, Brains, Intestine etc. Officially meat pies only have to contain 25% actual beef but many companies in Aus. promote the fact their pies are 100% Aussie Beef

In America we call it "A McDonald's Hamburger" They include everything except the "Moo" in their meat.

Well, the Patriots pull off another play-off win. What an exciting game! Just when it looked like all was lost, (down by 11 points with only 5 minutes left, Brady throws an interception) the Patriots find a way to win. The Chargers had been talking trash all week and even already had a victory parade planned. It was disrespectful and the Pats came into the came pissed. Now it's off to face the Colts, the winner of that game goes to the Super Bowl.( Oh yeah, da Bears won in overtime. :whatever:

:whatever:

well the bears seem to play just well enough to win , nothing more , I found it funny the announcers before the Pats games were talking alot about Brady being in so many playoff games and having 0 interceptions , then out of the blue he throws 3 sunday ..

I have the feeling that the pats will have a tough time with the colts as there talking some of 2 black coaches meeting for the first time in the super bowl , that being the COLTS VS THE BEARS .. and lets face it its not all about winning its about ratings and getting money to the teams and the networks ... ... the colts sold out on tickets in 5 minutes after they went on sale .. We sold our season tickets for the bears about 6 games back and they included first chance tickets for playoff games , I wouldnt go up there and sit in the cold anyway .

The one fact you're missing is the Patriots are a better team than the Colts. Not that they can't lose, anything can happen on any given Sunday. The Patriots have sold out 180 consecutive games, ever since Bob Kraft bought the team. When you win three Super Bowls, tickets aren't easy to get. And if we end up facing the Bears in the Super Bowl it's going to be a :spankin:

:spankin:

for them.

the point you have missed is the forces of evil often decide games like what are coming up , dont ever think its all decided on the field , some of those dropped passes turn out to be big money makers for the guy that dropped them .. You are right though the PAts are a good team , but I dont think it will be a blow out , Maybe if they were playing at home but the colts will put up a fight at home .. Time will tell .. turnovers will be the key , just watch and see who makes them , then in about 6 monthes see what they have bought or aquired ...

I only watched the part of the 3rd and the 4th quarter, but I think the Colts mounted a bit of a comeback.

Either that's a deliberate understatement, or you're just yanking my crank. They were ahead by 18 points, driving to add another touchdown, then the whole thing came crashing down.

So one would presume they ended up losing?

Yes, one would be correct in that presumption.
