An anti-climactic Super Bowl.

As is often the case with sporting occasions that receive a big build up, the event itself proved somewhat underwhelming with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers overcoming the Kansas City Chiefs with relative ease.

Star of the show was 43 year old quarterback Tom Brady who outshone Patrick Mahomes, the young pretender to his throne.

A man who was far from the top of the tree in his younger days, Brady has emerged as one of the all time great sportspeople.

Hail King Tom.

Over in the Six Nations Rugby, The Boys In Green battled bravely before finally succumbing to the Welsh, The Haggis Men inflicted a shock but much deserved defeat on The Sweet Charioteers, whilst the Italians had clearly eaten far too much pizza prior to their hammering by the French.

Mamma Mia.

In the land of the beautiful game, The Sky Blues of Manchester City handed The Boys From Anfield something of a footballing lesson.

Dearie me.

Down in India, Joe Root led his English team to a superb win over the host nation.

India will be stung by this defeat. Round two of four begins on Saturday.

Disappointingly the BBC Test Match Special team are not providing live coverage.

Broadcasting rights have a lot to answer for.

Out in the real world, highlight of the week was a true to life, in person catch up with The Boss.

It was good to see him again.

My Good Self is still recovering from the shock of engaging in an actual conversation with another living being.

And the numbers seem to be improving so I remain very optimistic that I will get back inside the hallowed doors of The Great Institution of Chatham Street sometime before I pop my clogs.

Beggars and Choosers.

A bientot mes amis.
