My husband and I are not football people. We catch bits and pieces of games now and then, but mostly because we want to see “60 Minutes” which is often delayed by football games. We almost always watch the Superbowl, though, because we figure it’s THE game of the season – the best vs the best. I’m glad we watch it by ourselves in our own home because I would probably be killed otherwise. I like a good, hard-fought, close game when you don’t know who the winner will be until the last seconds. Therefore, I keep switching sides, rooting for whoever is the underdog at the moment. I know that people who are really fans of particular teams would happily squash me like a bug because they found me absolutely so annoying they couldn’t stand it.
I also love to watch the commercials during the Superbowl, knowing that advertising agencies really worked hard to come up with the most entertaining or special commercials they could create, hoping that people will play them over and over, talk about them and the products – as they should, in that Superbowl commercials cost a gazillion dollars or so for 30 seconds now.
I love all the half time ceremonies and performances, whether we particularly like the performers or not. The ‘show’ is usually over the top. My husband and I dropped our teeth when we heard Lady GaGa sing the national anthem awhile back. My husband taped it so he can hear it again and again on his computer. He cries it’s so beautiful.
We’re breaking our low carb diet for dinner today – enjoying a big bowl of frito chili pie – a long favorite comfort food we almost never have anymore. We’ll have it all ready – the chili in a huge bowl ready to be nuked back to temperature in the microwave, the onions cut up, the shredded cheese ready to sprinkle, the bowls and spoons out. We’ll leap up at some point of the game and put it all together quickly and gorge ourselves on a true low-carb no-no. Ahhhhhh!
I hope the game today is really the best of the best – a nail-biter to the closing seconds.
