I was headed out to my daughter and son-in-law's house last night to watch the play off between the Saints and the Vikes. I stopped by walmart to grab sme chips and dip. I thought it would be fun since I saw they had team plates and napkins to pick up some Saints ones since my son-in-law is from Louisiana. I was shocked that they had only Jets and Vikes pary supplies. It's kinda funny though, because inadvertantly they picked both losers. Ha! They lost my money too.. once again! did you watch the playoffs? Did your teams win?

We had it on here, I was cooking most of the time so I was not paying full attention to it. I am a Bears fan through and through so it really didn't matter to me who one. The Superbowl is always fun no matter who is playing so unless it is my Bears it doesn't matter who wins unless I make a bet with someone then I will chear for that team, but I have not done that.

I like the Bears too! My main team is the Titans but they didn't fair too well this year. I am a Saints fan too though since I lived there for about 10 years.

I don't think Walmart is Technically biased on which games to sell in there store. But I think before they would narrow it down to what they do sell. I think they would have to do some market research and find out what's the most popular in the area that walmart is in. And if they don't do some marketing on the issue than yes they would be biased. And that would be pointless because there's no facts to back up why they would jsut sell one team and not the rest.

It didn't make sense to me either. However, they did pick both of the losers! I thought that was kinda funny!!

It is odd, because if they were stocking party supplies by region, they would have kept the Colts (Yippee) and the Vikings (so sad)together. I imagine you can figure out who my husband and I were supporting. It's funny, because my mom and I were just talking about Walmart this morning. We do shop there, but we have noticed that their prices are so high that the Great Value brand is often only one or two pennies less than the name brand and sometimes they are even more. Not only that, they have eliminated a lot of the variety of products and evidently only carry the products that make them the most profit. Look and the shampoo aisle and most of the brands have been discontinued. We talked to one of the employees in the cosmetic department and she said that every week she has to tell people that their favorite product is no longer being stocked by Walmart. I really think that the children of Sam Walton are making a huge mistake, because there are other places to shop. Mom and I have decided to go elsewhere. GO COLTS!!!!!

Yeah, I've been working on changing my habit of stopping by there. It's just so convenient... gotta find another place though. I was in Oklahoma so you'd think they would have had the Saints if they had any! I just didn't get it! Go Saints!!!
