Read All About It

I bleed Panther blue, baby! In 1999 I moved to China. Five years later, they showed the first NFL game they had shown since 1982. It was a Super Bowl. Patriots vs. Panthers. Monday morning in my time zone. I used an alarm clock during my vacation. I only turned the sound on during that halftime mascot feature to listen to Madden, Fisher, Cowher, etc. with Chinese subtitles. I spent the rest of the halftime break making coffee, using the bathroom, microwaving some food, etc. That’s right, young adolescent males, I missed Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction. Possibly they didn’t show it here, since I read somewhere there was a one-hour tape delay I didn’t know about. You have Daylight Savings Time and we don’t, so sometimes we’re 12 hours ahead of EST and sometimes we’re 13 hours ahead, and I get confused.
