Super Bowl Sunday...Pretty Much Says It All

Sports...Sports...Sports. What can I say. There are things that people get so passionate about that when they talk to others they can get so heated very quickly. Some people can't talk about politics, some people can't talk about religion. For others, it's sports. But now you got to break it down to seasons. Some people have teams for every sport. Others just have football and baseball. Some have football and basketball. Some baseball and hockey. Some hockey and golf. You see the numerous possibilites.

Some folks are just watchers of the sports. They may have a spouse or significant other who watches so they watch along. Over time they have a team they like, but they don't get that love for the game or team. The love where they will get into a heated conversation, almost fighting over a disagreement. They won't stay home because the game is on, not answer the phone, turn up the tv. Spend money on tickets and say it's for the love of the game.

Some people love sports that others don't consider a sport. And then get upset trying to explain to people how difficult it is to be a Nascar driver or a Dragster driver. And that it's not as simple as just turning left or going straight down the track. You get irritated easily at other peoples irrogance.

You have your famous rivalaries that will never go away. In baseball it's Yankee's Vs. Redsox. I'm a Yankee's fan. And both sets of fans are very passionate and it can get nasty when they are playing each other. And I mean going to the hospital nasty.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. People have been planning parties for today. It's D day! What all football fans have been waiting fan. Even if you aren't a fan of either Green Bay or Pittsburgh, you will go to a party and watch the game.  Heck, you most likely will go to one even if you don't like football. I don't like either team, but I'm realistic and my teams aren't going anytime soon. But I want Green Bay to beat Pittsburgh badly!

But more than the junk food and loud football game, I'm glad that today got here and that tomorrow is Monday. I'm glad for one HUGE reason. I'm glad because it means football is over. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it while it was here. It gave me a way to pass the time. A way to pass the time until BASEBALL SEASON! Heck ya baby!!! Calling all Pitchers and Catchers...Get your butts to Florida...It's time to get business started.

I can't wait for life to get back to normal. Baseball 6 out of 7 nights. Stressfull, crazy nights watching the pitcher struggle or have a spot on night. Talking during the day to other fans about who might win, on your team or their's. Who's hurt and who did great the night before. Who was sucking wind and who needs more time in the bull pen. Is Cano golden glove again this year? Tex can never be taken off 1st base. Jeter needs to have a better year. CC is still #1...And unfortunately the Sox are gonna be competition this year.

But for now...Go Packers!
