Reporting the Latest - A Day Late

In a shocking news bulletin not likely to get the attention it deserves, I feel it is my moral obligation to pass along the news: Watching the Super Bowl may cause an increased rate of heart attack, especially for emotionally invested fans of the two teams playing. According to the German study that took data from World Cup 2006, heart-related medical cases tripled on days that the German National team played.

Gee, who would have thought that increased stress levels coupled with wings, beer and pizza could raise the risk of heart trouble? Aside from avoiding alcohol and the aforementioned foods, the report suggest that fans should also try “not getting mad at the refs”. Thanks, doc.
