Actually here is EXACTLY what we are making today (there is no "crowd" its just for us to eat, will last a few days for certain):
CLASSIC SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS FOR A CROWD
SERVES 12
One cup of plain yogurt thinned with ½ cup milk can be substituted for the buttermilk. Grate the onion on the large holes of a box grater. The ingredients in this recipe can be reduced by two-thirds to serve 4. For instructions on how to cook the pasta in less water, see Lots of Pasta, Less Water (related).
INGREDIENTS
Meatballs
2 1/4 cups (about 6 ounces) panko bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (see note)
3 large eggs , lightly beaten
2 pounds 85 percent lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto , chopped fine
3 ounces Parmesan cheese , grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
6 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
3 medium garlic cloves , minced or pressed through garlic press (about 1 tablespoon)
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin , dissolved in 3 tablespoons cold water
Table salt and ground black pepper
Sauce
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups grated onion from 1 to 2 onions (see note)
6 medium garlic cloves , minced or pressed through garlic press (about 2 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
6 cups tomato juice (bottled)
3 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
6 tablespoons dry white wine
Table salt and ground black pepper
3 pounds spaghetti
1/2 cup minced fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
Granulated sugar
Parmesan cheese , grated, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FOR THE MEATBALLS: Place wire racks in 2 foil-lined rimmed baking sheets. Adjust oven racks to lower-middle and upper-middle positions and heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine bread crumbs and buttermilk in large bowl and let sit, mashing occasionally with fork, until smooth paste forms, about 10 minutes.
2. Add eggs, beef, pork, prosciutto, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, gelatin mixture, 11/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to bread-crumb mixture. Using hands, gently mix until thoroughly combined. Lightly form about ¼ cup mixture into 2-inch round meatball (about 2 ounces); repeat with remaining mixture to form approximately 40 meatballs.
3. Spray wire racks with nonstick cooking spray and place meatballs, evenly spaced, on racks; roast until browned, about 30 minutes, rotating trays from front to back and top to bottom halfway through.
4. FOR THE SAUCE: While meatballs roast, heat olive oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden around edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and oregano; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato juice, crushed tomatoes, wine, 1½ teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
5. Remove meatballs from oven and lower oven temperature to 300 degrees. Gently add meatballs to sauce, cover pot, and place in oven. Cook until meatballs are firm and sauce has thickened, about 1 hour.
6. Meanwhile, bring 10 quarts water to boil in 12-quart pot. Add pasta and 2 tablespoons salt to boiling water; cook until al dente. Drain pasta and return it to cooking pot.
7. TO SERVE: Stir basil and parsley into sauce and adjust seasoning with sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss pasta with 1½ cups sauce until lightly coated. Serve pasta, passing meatballs, remaining sauce, and grated Parmesan separately.

KEY INGREDIENTS FOR TENDER, FLAVORFUL MEATBALLS
PANKO
Absorbent Japanese bread crumbs hold on to meat juices. PROSCUITTO
Bits of glutamate-rich prosciutto boost meatiness. PARMESAN
Also packed with glutamates, Parmesan builds savor. BUTTERMILK
Tangy buttermilk lends more flavor than regular milk. GELATIN
Gelatin helps the meatballs plump up and adds suppleness.
STEP-BY-STEP
STEPS TO EASIER, BETTER MEATBALLS
BROWN IN OVEN
Roasting meatballs is far easier than messy, time-consuming batch-frying. Elevating the meatballs on a wire rack allows heat to circulate underneath for even browning. COOK IN SAUCE
Most meatballs are simply warmed in the sauce. Allowing them to finish cooking in it adds richness to the sauce and juiciness to the meat.

Can someone explain the significance of buying a larger Television solely to watch "The Big Game"? I mean how large does it really need to be and why?

Green Bay Packers over the Pittsburgh Steelers. In my 'Man Cave' with a big television.
The television has to be HD quality and 'big' depends on how close you are to it.
Of course, you must also record the game, and watch the big plays over again while analyzing the commercials, and rating them. This is the Superbowl.
But if you don't like football, who cares.

Can`t you just sit closer to your existing television and get the same effect? ??? I refuse to even have any television service whatsoever, so I don`t think I would even get "The Big Game". All one needs is Netflix as they have everything you can get from a cable service.

Ron, agree on all except- STEELERS.

Packers win 28~27. This will surely move the Vegas line.
Both a bar and a man cave. Looks like TA still hasn't addressed his daddy issues.

Projectors suck - HD televisions with a DVR so you can tape, pause and replay the parts you like.
Can`t you just sit closer to your existing television and get the same effect? I refuse to even have any television service whatsoever, so I don`t think I would even get "The Big Game". All one needs is Netflix as they have everything you can get from a cable service.
Uh yes, which is why it matters how close you are. I have a 46" HD television and the couch is 8 feet away. That is all I need - the office computer desk is right behind the couch. As for not having any cable or television service, oh well - you miss out on a lot of good stuff. Enjoy Netflix, it is good too, but different.
-
Yup, projectors suck balls.
Packers, and I'm going to watch first half at home with 2 friends on my samsung 55 led 3d, And sony system. Then drive to my bros house, with chick, to cook/ eat BBQ and watch on his 65 LCD. And 32? he has outside.

Ben is a different kind of QB. Outside his frequent urges to rape a broad. I'm a fan. Dude knows how to extend plays. He has that blue collar lunch box and hard hat mentality. It's certainly not pretty what he does but he gets it done.

I don't know much about NFL but I'm recording the game tonight and hopefully I won't get to hear the result until I sit down tomorrow night to watch it. I'm going to go with the Packers but I'm aware that the Steelers have won something like six out of their seven Superbowl finals, or something like that, so it could go either way.

Im not talking about the average shitty projector in an american bar, Im talking a 1080p projector where even if you are 1 foot away you have to touch the screen to make sure it isnt actually an hdtv.

Sounds good, but we all know that the bigger the screen, the less clear it will be, especially if you go over 65".
As for the half time show, the Black Eyed Peas were awesome! Best half time show in a long time, especially since the Packers are up...
