So , the girls and I ended up watching the last half of the Super Bowl last night. Larry ran off to a party with a bunch a Steeler fans. He said everyone including the dog had a Steelers jersey on. These people are fanatics! Claire especially enjoyed the game even though she didn't get to watch the end. Bed time is at 8:30. We watched part of the halftime show. They were totally grossed out by the Rolling Stones. Why is that old man running around a stage and skipping? Why is the stage shaped like a mouth? (It WAS?) Wow. That guys arms really jiggle a lot when he claps his hands in the air like that. Where did the football field go? Why are all those people jumping around like that? I kid you not. This is what they said. We couldn't hear the songs over all the questions being peppered at me. Which was fine with me.
Claire woke up this morning and said to her Dad that the Steelers won 14 - 3. That was the last score she saw so she assumed they won. She said Football is fun to watch when you know who you are cheering for. I could go on and wax eloquent about how that applies to life and how crazy it is to worship football but I'll let you do that for yourself.
The best part of the game is of course the commercials. My favorite one was done by the NFL. The sappy one with Jerome Bettis and his parents in front of school buses at the end. It literally brought me to tears and I don't even like football.
The media milked that story for all it was worth, but it really did make the game more enjoyable to see him win.
And did anyone catch Carmen Harlem's commentary about Detroit after the game? I had to turn the channel. Ugh!
