I often try to examine these problems a little more closely to determine the root cause. In this case perhaps the root cause was "So at halftime of the Super Bowl, Mrs Elliott and [I] decided to go to a different sports bar. " :) :) Or digging even deeper, perhaps the root cause was either: 1. "Ravens lead Niners 21-6 at halftime ...", or perhaps 2. "Beyonce scheduled for Super Bowl Halftime Show...."
