Bittersweet Super Bowl

I LOVE the NFL!  I think that even if football never existed; I would somehow miss it.  I’m the type of person that when the Fox NFL song floats out of the television speakers (or is set as my ringtoneJ), or when I hear roughly the first 45 seconds of Guns & Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” I experience physical effects. If a doctor hooked me up, they could map out my explosive heart rate or count the goose bumps appearing on my arms and neck.  I simply love the game.

 

I received the following email today from my stunningly brilliant brother-in-law and even that could not spoil my mood:

“The joy I take knowing my sister-in-law is grouchy as hell right now because the Steel Nation is celebrating with the leader of the free nation because the PITTSBURGH STEELERS won another Super Bowl.  Yep, #6. 

 

That is right Carynn, the only man you worship in this world, Mr. Obama himself, picked the Steelers, cheered for the Steelers, waved his Terrible Towel for the Steelers, and was recognized by the Rooney family after the victory.

 

Life could not get much better right now.  Your dilemma makes me chuckle.  Your love for our President and your hatred for the Steelers.  And he loves the Steelers!!!

Just think, you should have supported Johnny Mac, he would cheer for AZ!”

 

Last night’s Super Bowl was a football lovers’ dream!  As an avid anti-Steeler, I could have done without the outcome of the game….or the 1^st half in general, but that game was fantastic.  The challenges, the after play tussles, the 2^nd half AZ comeback, the 100 yard defensive touchdown…..ahhhhh I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around how impressive it was.  The last 5 minutes of the 4^th quarter, I swore my heart was going to explode.  I was actually watching through my fingers the way someone would when viewing a scary movie. 

 

Not only was the game incredible, but the commercials also exceeded my expectations….I belly laughed to the etrade babies!

The following Cheetos commercial also brought a smile to my face, mostly because I could see myself being the girl to place the Cheetos below the other’s chair.  Fortunately, that’s just the kind of girl I am!

I even stayed up to watch the all new episode of The Office which exuded hilarity.  My favorite line was, “Meredith, you’ve slept with so many guys, you’re starting to look like one. ROASTED.”  Zing, that is awesome and I will be using it often!
