Seniors' Super Bowl Party

The paper mixed things up this year and we covered a Super Bowl party at a senior community instead of the usual bar coverage. Sure, nobody was wearing jerseys from either team, no faces were painted and a few people didn't fully understand the game, but they did have a betting pool and the people that were into it were animated. I only wish I could've stayed the whole game to get the reaction to that amazing fourth quarter—especially Eli's Houdini-esque escape and the ridiculous Tyree helmet-aided catch.

CUTLINE: Vintage residents Helen Nostrant celebrates while Ed Slezak bemoans a Giants third down conversion in the second quarter.
