Whoa. Just saw the MSN sports thing about this year’s Super Bowl after signing out of my hotmail and my jaw dropped.
Cool.
I really hope they do well, then I can have more things to say about Chicago when my students ask me what we’re famous for.

Do people mention mobsters to you, when the topic is Chicago? Because that’s the majority of what I heard when I was traveling abroad…
Have they stopped mentioning Michael Jordan?
I’ve only had like a handful of students mention the mobsters thing; I have had the musical reference, and a lot of students do indeed remember Michael Jordan. More or less, they have a vague impression about Chicago — they know it’s a major city in America and they’ve all heard of it.
