"I developed mild angina during the first quarter of Sunday's playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants, although it could have been that the chicken I grilled was undercooked.

I walked the dog in the second quarter because I could not bear to watch.

I switched to the Golden Globes red carpet coverage on E! Entertainment during the third quarter.

I spent the fourth quarter in blissful ignorance, until they updated the score during a break on "60 Minutes." And instead of watching local post-game coverage on WITI-TV (Channel 6), I flipped between the Globes and a "Columbo" rerun on Me-TV."
