All of the sudden, I care about football!
I will admit that I didn't really start watching the game until halftime, even though I intended to start right at 3:30. But then, thinking opportunistically that no one would be at the grocery store during the Super Bowl (what kind of loser grocery shops during the Super Bowl?), I made a quick grocery run first. Unfortunately, many other losers had the same idea. But I got a great deal on avocadoes.
I got home just in time to see the Rolling Stones and a giant mouth-shaped stage. Clearly, they weren't taking any chances with a Janet Jackson episode this year. Anyway, approximately two hours of football is all I could take, and I must say it was pretty interesting! There was some guy named "The Bus" who looked like a huggable bear and plowed through the opposition. The Seahawks coach looked like he was ordering Chinese food off a menu at several times during the game, but was really just carefully advising plays from behind the protective barrier of a laminated sheet. And I'd be remiss if I mentioned the firey rivalry between David Hasselhoff and Somebody Rothsberger.
At the risk of my husband sounding fey, he was more interested in the historical significance of each team's logo than the game, but he got into it, too. He was disappointed that his favored logo lost, but forgot all about it once The Simpsons came on afterwards.
Sorry to all the Seattle supporters. But in Pittsburgh, Grandpa Pete is certainly plotzing!
