Hey guys, for those who may not know, I manage SNY’s Tumblr. And this week we surpassed 80k followers. I am completely FLOORED by that number. To those of you who follow me here on ‘Mutt, and on SNY, I can’t thank you enough!
If you have an opinion on Sunday’s big game, and who doesn’t, please respond to the question.
Also, if you don’t follow SNY on Tumblr—but of course I’m being silly—please give it a look-see. It’s mostly NY sports-centric but it also has a national sports mix, and of course, we don’t shy away from memes—this is the Internet after all.

So what’s Canada’s secret? Regulation, regulation, regulation.”
