The Stupor Bowl...
I've come to realize that the Super Bowl© is not the highest of national celebrations, it's just a big game to see who wins the NFL Championship....and to make a hell of a lot of money for people rich enough already. If you aren't wild over the two teams playing it becomes less of a big deal. I have a lot of friends in Chicago and I'm still pissed that the Colts left Baltimore so I hoped that the Bears would win. They didn't, no big thing to me.
If they hoped to hook me into watching the halftime "spectacle" they did a poor job. I went to use the bathroom. Having the guy formerly known as "Prince" and apparently now known again as "Prince" as the star is a mystery to me. By most accounts he never was much of a star in the first place and now he's a mostly forgotten has been second rate star. After I returned from the privy I did see that his makeup was running though. I guess it was the weather. I'm sure the Florida tourism board loves having these big sporting events in their state as an advertisement to showcase perfect weather and lure me down there. It seems like every big sporting event I've seen in Florida lately involves a lot of rain. In between rain there are hurricanes and tornados. I don't want to go to Florida even more now.
I caught enough of the game to get the drift, including the fumble by local "sensation" Cedric Benson. His big moment was a fumble which as far as I could tell was his first, last and only play in the Super Bowl©. I could be wrong, I just didn't hear his name mentioned again. So much for a week of hype for Cedric in the local papers.
Anyway, I would have watched every second dutifully like a real man, but We'd rented the "Heidi" DVD and it was due back at Blockbuster tonight, so not wanting to miss that, We preempted the game.
