I am sure the western half of half of Pennsylvania is very excited this morning. The rest of it is still wondering what went wrong with the Birds (Eagles not Seahawks). Seattle is probably entering its 1,564th day of rain and after last night its residents have no reason to actually leave the house. Especially if you are my brother, he "works" from home. As Sam's brother pointed out I had my first HD Super Bowl yesterday and let me tell you it was everything I could have imagined and more. The TV was big, the couches were comfortable and there was more than enough food to go around. The TV is so big in fact that Sam is getting paid $500 just for a picture of it from some magazine.
Everyone was there, it was Oriana's first Super Bowl and I think she even had fun. Katherine only asked if it was almost over once or twice, but I am not sure if she had more fun watching the game, or waiting to see if Jerome Bettis had an asthma attack. I thought that was a bit cruel, and people say I have no heart. Rob walked away with a grand total of $153. $12 of which were mine. Not that there was any gambling going on or anything. Having Rob and the Steelers win in the same night was just too much for us all to handle. Josh even called it the worst day of his life. One of the big wigs from Con-ed was there. I should have taken the chance to ask him why our electric bill has been so high. Is it our usage, or the cost of electricity? I don't really understand those kinds of things but I am sure he does. The only no show was little Jose Rubenstein.
The game itself was so-so and the commercials were sub par. Except of course for that MacGyver one. I love MacGyver. But back to the game. Ben Roethlisberger threw some interceptions I liked that. Hines Ward won the MVP which I suppose was ok since he is one of the few players on the Steelers I can sort of stand. And his little son was the cutest thing ever! I spent most of the game trying to figure out who to cheer on. I was leaning towards Seattle I suppose because they were the underdog. I sort of got into it except when they showed Hasselbeck, Holmgren, and, Alexander. I don't like them. And when they showed them, I was reminded that I don't like them. Kevin pointed out that I have weird reasons for not liking people. I would agree with that. But how could Shaun Alexander NOT bother you. I just don't get it. There is something about the shape of his head or something.
Bill Cowher is so annoying. How can anyone stand to talk to the man? He is always spitting all over the place. Spitting and crying. Crying an kissing. Get a room. The Steelers owner Mooney or Rooney or whatever his name is, I think he looks evil, he also looked like he wasn't going to make it down from that podium.
And enough about Jerome Bettis finally getting his ring. Please. There are a whole bunch of NFL players that don't have rings. In fact the large majority of humans living on this planet manage to get through their lives without a Super Bowl ring. A lot of them are even really happy people. So I am sure he would have been ok. Think about Dan Marino, he manages to get out of bed every once in a while. Look at me, I have absolutely no chance to EVER win a Super Bowl, or even play in a Super Bowl, or even play in a real football game. Sure it was hard to take at first, but I got used to it. I am still alive and kicking. And take it from someone who has reached the peak of her career as a legal secretary, even when you find yourself at the highest point of success in your field there is always more to accomplish elsewhere.
You can't use career milestones to make you happy. Only YOU can make YOU happy. Trust me. After the congratulations and good jobs end and the Champagne dries up Jerome is going to take a long hard look in the mirror and if he isn't 100% happy that little ring isn't going to do much to fill the void that his career has created in his home life or cure the Herpes he got from that groupie in Indianapolis. So Jerome, if you are reading, go use those millions to find out what really makes you happy.
But besides all that I had a lovely time. Bravo Sam. Great Super Bowl party. Hopefully next year more fitting team will be representing the NFC, like the Eagles, and I can actually care about the outcome.
