Ahh, I didnt know the connection.

I gotta root for Manning because:
1) My daughter adores him
2) He's a classy guy
3) Sorry, I'm not a surfer dude Pete Carroll fan - (but he's never done anything to me!)
4) I really don't care...but I'd like to see Denver win it for Peyton. Lol...

Lastly, my brother is a HUGE packer fan.. HUGE! Does that get me any extra points?

Don't get me wrong, Manning is cool and he can be funny (at least in the commercials. There's a few Badgers playing for Denver, Monte Ball and I would love to see him win also. But, I did live in Washington for a while and the poor Seahawks need a boost.

I'll give you two extra points for the brother.

Will that be one lash for every "Omaha" you're off?

Just so there's no confusion Blue, 0 was already taken on page 1. I just noticed that.

[RafaelH]

I noticed that too.

I didn't hear an Omaha, but Omaha.com heard one when the Ponies got their lame touchdown. If that stands we have a tie with 0 (yours truly) and 2 (windowsidiot), both within 1. Nice job windowsidiot. Maybe she'll double with us! LOL

Now excuse me while I peruse Ms. E's Showcase and await her decision.

[MsElena]

I've been researching the web, I had friends that were keeping track because they placed bets on it too. The Omaha Chamber of Commerce said they heard 3 times, Fox News says twice and everyone else is saying they didn't hear it all.

I'm going to do more research because honestly, I didn't hear it called once.

[Guest090116-1]

I never heard it either, but of course Peyton wasn't playing before a home crowd that would get quiet while he was "working". Maybe there will be some definitive word from Vegas on what the tally was.

[windowsidiot]

Fell asleep during the first 1/4 and never heard Omaha. Awaiting the official results and my invitation. Good luck Rafael.
