Super Sunday
Unless you've been under the curse of a sorcerer for the past three centuries, you know that tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. I usually love the Super Bowl! It's a fun game, and it's an excuse to get my friends over for a big party. This year will be no different in that regard. I'm expecting a full house, and we're having tacos. Is there anything greater than a huge plate of tacos, a widescreen TV blaring football, and a bunch of your pals whooping it up? Yeah, didn't think so. There's this problem with this year's game though.
I suppose you're probably thinking "Oh, he's talking about the Packers! Well they'll probably get their butts handed to them anyway, so that shouldn't matter too much." and it wouldn't, but the team they're playing happens to be the Steelers! I don't really have all that much animosity for the AFC, but the Steelers have always bugged me. They're like those guys that win all the time and you know you shouldn't feel bad about it because they try hard and all that, but it just doesn't seem fair! They're got, what, six rings in their history? And the last time they won was that heartbreaking game a couple years ago when they beat the Cardinals in the last seconds.
Now I'm faced with this dilemma of who to cheer for. One on hand, if the Packers lose, I'll have something to gloat about to all those cheeseheads when they finally come back to work on Tuesday, but if they Steelers lose then all I'll get for the next six months is sass about Brett Favre and all the nonsense you have to deal with to be a Vikings fan. You know, the worst part about all of this is how close we came to being where the Packers are now last season, and we would have won it all too. We would have DISMANTLED the Colts. It would have been ugly.
Ugh, I don't know what I'm going to do! I'm so conflicted! ...wait a minute, no I'm not. I hate the Packers! Go Steelers!
