Super Sunday

I can never really get into the Super Bowl unless the Bills are playing (not a likely occurrence anytime soon) or a team I really hate is in it, like the Patriots last year. Man it was sweet watching them lose...

That said, I am still a football fan, and I enjoy a good game. So this Super Bowl didn't let me down. It had big plays, like a fat man running 100 yards for a touchdown and then needing oxygen, a good comeback, and a last minute touchdown drive. Also, at least from my perspective, there was some controversy. I definitely think the last play should have been reviewed, as Kurt Warner had the ball in his hand and it was moving forward. I don't know if he had control, but I would have liked to see the people in the booth at least look at it a few more times.

Ah well, like I said earlier, I didn't really have any reason to root for either team, and since the guy who hosted our little get together was a Steelers fan, I suppose it is good that they won. Especially since our group seemed to consist of him, a few people who didn't care about football, and the rest, who were vocally rooting for the Cardinals, I guess as a whole support the underdog thing. I was as well, at least as far as I was rooting for anyone, but the Steelers winning didn't upset me terribly, and I felt bad for Dave (our host) who appeared all by himself. So good for him, and good for Pittsburgh, a city in the northeast, where football is meant to be played out in the elements. Not to mention, they have some good, hard core, working class fans, much like the we have in Buffalo.

And yes, with me, it all comes back to the Bills, in some way or another.

  2. D'oh! Sadly my spellchecker hasn't learned to read my mind yet, or of course it would know I meant "won." Problem fixed.

  3. Oh, and congratulations at having the first comment on my blog! I only wish it hadn't been one illustrating my stupidity... :)
