So, it’s that time again. Football season. Or more appropriately, Super Bowl/Playoffs season. Most women I know don’t really care for football, but I have to say, I actually enjoy watching it occasionally. I am not obsessed; I do not need to watch it weekly, but I enjoy a good game. I don’t even mind watching it in person as long as it’s not cold. I really hate cold.
The part I don’t get is how you decide who to pull for in the playoffs. I grew up in Northern Indiana, so my team has been; always will be… Da Bears. Of course, since 1986, there hasn’t been a ton to cheer about. Who could ever compete with McMahon, Singletary, the Fridge, and the incomparable Walter Peyton?
And let’s not forget the Super Bowl Shuffle…
So now, it’s 2009, and I am not even sure who is in it anymore. However, this is how I choose my teams these days. 1) Bears are out, so who cares? 2) Miami Dolphins have a cute logo and my best friend’s husband adores the team, so let’s pull for them! Oh, except they lost last week. 3) I live in North Carolina; GO PANTHERS! Oh wait, they got slaughtered last night.
As always, Super Bowl Sunday will arrive; I will randomly pick a team (usually the underdog just to be fair), and sit and watch primarily for the commercials. Any better suggestions?
OMG, I have not seen this video in so very long and it brings back such great memories.
