What do you do to celebrate it? Do you even care who wins, or are you only in it for the food and (hopefully) entertaining commercials, like I am?
What is that saying about football? You’ve got twenty-two incredibly in-shape guys down on a field being watched by millions and millions of people who desperately need to go to the gym, and we applaud their feats of fitness by watching them play while eating chips and dip on the couch, or slugging down beers in the bar.
Something like that.
I’ve never been a big sports freak, though my family gets into it pretty heavily, and I do enjoy the fun of folks getting together to enjoy a game, but I could probably name two teams out of the entire NFL, and I keep having to be reminded of the opponents for the bowl tonight. Just not high on my priority list, and it confounds me when people nearly get into fistfights over team loyalty, or set cars on fire to announce a victory or defeat of their selected favorites. What is it about sports that gets people so riled up? Brand loyalty? Another vicarious way for people to feel that they’ve won something? A way to relive old high school football glory days?
What’s your reason?
I see that smile.
Josh: Thanks! I’ll be sending out a myspace bulletin tomorrow announcing my news. Glad you friended me there.
Superbowl? I’ll turn it on with the sound down at the end of the game soI can see when “House starts. Gotta work on my next “Donald Chronicle” post – so no football for me.
