"Good Night, Moon"

The waning gibbous

A fast-moving asteroid (click here) will make a close flyby of Earth this Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 4), but it poses no risk of hitting our planet, according to NASA.
The asteroid, called 2002 AJ129, will make its closest approach to Earth at 4:30 p.m. EST (2130 GMT), and will be about 2.6 million miles (4.2 million kilometers) from our planet at its closest point, NASA officials said.

And the Eagles won the Superbowl. I betcha Philadelphia is happy tonight, especially since this is their first title. (click here) Nice.

This is USA Bank Stadium about 2 hours before the kick off. What was the actual attendance like this year?

I am not interested in ticket sales with "get in price" up to $3100 per ticket before everyone knew the game was rigged.

I am assuming Mr. Goodell will be resigning soon.
