Super Bowl Octads

Ok, you've played in the Quads on Saturday and the Patriots are out and the Jets are out, so what are you going to do on Super Sunday.

How about a chess tournament (and friends to watch the super bowl with?)

Shown here is a hand painted Steelers vs. Cardinals Super Bowl chess set. It's a place that embodies the decorating-with-found-objects-spirit patrons enjoyed at the long-gone Chiodo's bar in Homestead. On occasion, Mr. DeLuca sells his handiwork. A Steelers chess set he spent three months painting is displayed on a coffee table at The Sports Deli, a sports memorabilia store in Parkway Center Mall.[ Ed.'s note: Did I mention I grew up near Pittsburgh and went to the University of Pittsburgh as an undergrad?]

Better be careful calling this tourney "Super Bowl Octads". NFL lawyers are itching to sue anyone who links ANYTHING to the Bowl without paying the NFL the requisite million$.

If you run into trouble with the name you could always change it to the Superb Owl Octads.

But we might run into trouble with the Super Owl folks...

Not to mention the Superb Owl people themselves.
