Super Ball
And you thought the holiday season was over. Not so, in the
world of Krude. There is a day in the year that is recognized by
billions of humans. Where $ and booze flow very freely. It is
called Super Sunday. Or call it the day the NFL holds its
championship game: the Super Bowl. Or call it whatever that won't cost
you paying a vig to Roger Goodell. Like duh
What is different about the Super Bowl these days is that it
occurs in the month of February. When I was a young lad,the game was always
played in January. But since professional sports have taken such an important
role in our daily lives, the Super Bowl has become a February tradition.
Meaning that more games will be scheduled en route to the Big Game. More
games: more advertising $. Business never sleeps. Unless your a NHL fan.
Over the past twenty years, the Super Bowl games have been
solid affairs. Very competitive and fun to watch. This wasn't the case previous
to the new millennium. Embarrassing blowouts were the norm. If you were
rooting for the team taking the butt whipping, your day after the game was
always a tough one. Now it seems like there are no winners or losers during a
Super Bowl. Just parity at its most gentle best.
The Super Bowl was named after a super ball that some
kid was playing with at Chiefs headquarters many moons ago. Super
Ball sounds better to me. Goodell doesn't own that phrase, or so I think.
Super Sunday should be a national holiday. More people care about this day than any other day during the year. Football IS a spiritual event. Grown men praying for miracles is very biblical in nature. Feasts are prepared. Masses huddle around pulpits (tv sets). And the drama unfolds... Until the next scheduled Super Bowl. Next year. As always
Enjoy all of your football encrusted days!
Cheers!
