Big game weekend

It's a big sports weekend in our household tonight as the San Diego Chargers try to erase the last ten years of futility when they play the New York Jets in the NFL playoffs. Meanwhile, Sunday afternoon the Green Bay Packers take on the rival Minnesota Vikings and try to restore pride to Wisconsin after the Badgers' end-of-season collapse. And how much of it will we see? Not a single minute, thank you very much. Of course the games will be on in the middle of the night here so I'm not sure how much we'd see anyway, but even if we wanted to watch them, I'm not aware of any options. Oh, wait, I do know one place--we were walking down the main street in Interlaken last week when we stumbled upon, of all things, a Hooters (you know, the owl-themed restaurant) with advertisements for American football games. I don't think I've ever actually been in a Hooters (at least not that Gretchen knows about), but if either the Chargers or Packers make the Super Bowl, well, Interlaken here we come!
