The Bowl of Superness
It's Super Bowl Sunday and while I'm not a foot ball fan I have to admit I'll be watching the big game with some friends this evening. I enjoy watching other people who are fans watch sporting events. The words "Super" and "Bowl" are copyrighted by the way, which to me seems silly, but I've already ranted about that a few years ago so I'll spare you all.
So today is the big dance, the Prom of all sporting events if you will. The New England Patriots get to go AGAIN. I'm more of a hockey fan myself, but living in New England with all this winning going around gets a little boring. Even the Celtics are having a good year. I think people in general always like and underdog, always want to win and love it when they do win, but get a little annoyed with continued success. How many of you would cheer every time Bill Gates earned more money?
Ron told me something interesting last night about the activity of Emergency Rooms on nights of big sporting events. Apparently during the games themselves the ER is as quiet as a church, but after the game they are hopping busy. And not just with drunken revelers, but the majority of ER visits after a big game are from domestic assaults. People taking out their anger at the losing team on those close by.
So yeah, I'll be watching and whether the Patriots win or lose ('cause if they lost, it would be funny... I have a dark sense of humor) I hope everyone has a fun, anger free evening and gets home safely. Even Giants fans.

I hope that the Patriots win, only because my uncle LOVES the Giants so much.
Not that I care. but that game was SLOPPY. What the hell happened to the team that had the perfect season, eh? Fuckin' weak I tell ya. Weak and sloppy.
Yet there is something comfortable in the old school feeling of choking at the last minute, which for a long time was a New England sports team tradition. But still, that was damn sloppy and I don't even know what I'm talking about.

Sorry about the comment delete (it was me who posted it. I read it after I posted it and it didn't make much sense). I believe that there was so much pressure and hype on the Pats. I do feel that they let the lead go to their head and definately made them sloppy.
