Super Bowl XLIII

I actually watched the Super Bowl yesterday. Well, half of it. I turned it on just in time to see the pass interception and the 100-yard return touchdown. I even watched Bruce Springsteen during halftime (I’m not a fan). But the rest of the game was exciting. I really hadn’t planned on watching, but I’m glad I did. I wasn’t cheering for either team, but I found myself wanting the Cardinals to win—hey, I just happened to be wearing red (I don’t look good in yellow).

And HEY! What happened to St. Louis? Since when did the Cardinals migrate south? And when they play in Arizona, what city is the stadium? Do they flit around, Tucson one game, Phoenix the next? How ‘bout Sedona? Now that would be interesting!

I liked the Clydesdale Budweiser commercial. Can’t remember any others ads right off hand. :-/

When I was in junior high school (just a few years ago), and up through the first few years of being a mom (a day or so ago), I was a tremendous football fan. I totally knew every team and player. All the plays and rules. I watched, bet, talked and loved it! (Same with basketball… GO Lakers!—and baseball… Dodger Blue, all the way!) But, motherhood sidetracked me, and I lost interest in sports, plus it was getting out of hand commercially.

And, I miss the Rams.

Nennyway… These past few years I do look on at the “big” games—World Series, Basketball Championships, Super Bowl. I almost always surprised at myself for knowing how much I know about how these games work.

So, congratulations Steelers.. good game!

Oh, and by the way, when I was 10-years-old, my mom and dad went to the first Super Bowl game at the LA Coliseum between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers. Yep, 42 years ago. (It’s okay, do the math… )

My brother and I got pennants and a baby sitter.

Thanks for reading!
