SUPER BOWL FRENZY

Well it's that time of year again. The time where fans of NFL football and even those who don't know Ben Rothlisberger from Matt Hasslebeck party their asses off. I include myself among those party-goers. However I do know the difference between Ben and Matt.

My wife is especially excited because she has been a die-hard Steelers fan from way back. She might actually watch the entire game this year. Usually, she just wants to see the commercials and the half-time show. Remember Janet Jackson's halftime show? That was one I didn't mind watching. This year the Rolling Stones will be performing. I don't think we need to worry about Mick flashing his breast. Should be good!

I'm predicting a low scoring game since both teams have tremendous defenses. As usual, the team that makes the fewest mistakes should win the game. Did I tell you I'm a master at stating the obvious? Well, I am.

I would like to see Jerome Bettis have a gigantic game and retire as a Superbowl champion. After 13 years, he deserves it. Ben Roethlisberger is going to win more than one Superbowl. For a player his age, he shows a tremendous amount of poise and confidence. He is going to be a great one.

The Seahawks have Shaun Alexander who is the league's MVP. He is the one chance for Seattle to come away with a victory. If the Steeler defense can bottle him up, they will win the game. (Master of the Obvious).

I hope it is an entertaining game. The last few have been down to the wire, and I expect this game will be no exception.

GO STEELERS !

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. It's not that I don't have anything to say, it's just hard to find the time to just sit down and write my thoughts for you to see.

Well, the Holidays have come and gone and all I can say is "Glad it's over". I didn't really enjoy the holidays this year. For some reason the commercialization of Christmas just struck me as stupid and meaningless. We exchanged gifts with the enthusiasm of a coma patient. We just went through the motions and when it was all over, it didn't mean a thing. Maybe it's because I'm older now, or maybe it's because something's missing.

I remember when I was a child how excited I'd get for Christmas. The magic of Santa Claus ignited my wildest dreams and had me up around 4:00 am on Christmas morning. I ripped through the wrapping paper like a Tasmanian Devil. Each gift more rewarding than the last. Ah, to be young again.

Well I will try to be more timely on my next update. Til then ...keep on blogging!
