Ace wonders if he’s the only one, with an excellent point about professional sports (that I don’t necessarily agree with since I’m still young enough to believe in it all):
This year I just don’t care. My interest in football has been declining a bit as I’ve gotten older — exactly why I am rooting for millionaires knee-deep in supermodels to have even better lives? — but now my interest has so declined I might just take a pass on the big game altogether.
I will certainly watch it (that is, if I get all my homework done; college is fun!), but it’s really not that interesting this year, as most folks will probably agree. Like Ace says, all of the worse teams, except for Pittsburgh, won in the playoffs, so it doesn’t feel like the best teams are playing (sniff, like Tennessee). Even Arizona’s surprising race to the top is somehow really boring. I could be bitter since they beat Atlanta, but somehow the Cardinal’s Super Bowl drought doesn’t have the same meaning as the comparable droughts for the Red Sox or the Cubs.
Kurt Warner’s first return to the big game after seven years is cool, I guess, but not enough to get me super pumped. Well, the commercials will at least be good blog fodder.
Oh, and happy birthday to Katherine, she’s the big 2-1 today. She’ll likely be celebrating in style rather than in a drunken craze like most.
