Stupor Bowl
So the much vaunted Super Bowl is on right now, and I'm - well, I'm in the kitchen blogging and surfing the BBC news.
I tried to think up a match up that I cared less about than the Colts and the Bears. Maybe the Phoenix Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints? Or perhaps the Houston Oilers (are they still around?) and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Either way, I couldn't care less about the game. I turned it on at halftime to see Prince, and was forced to endure the highlights - if that's what you want to call them, of the first half.
So I have friend in Rome...(I've always wanted to say that, or should it be, "I have a fwend in Wome") who often teases me about my love of the CFL, and how because of how little they are paid, the players will never be at the "level" of the NFL.
My question, Darren, is level of what? Ass slapping? Grunting? Because judging from the highlights of the first half, it sure as hell isn't football. There were, what, nine fumbles or turnovers in the first half?
Not that I'm an expert, or anything, but isn't the goal of the game to hang ON to the football long enough to get it to the other end of the field.
And, not to be critical, but isn't this the most important game of the year? Perhaps of many of these players' lives?
At least when a Canadian player drops the ball during the Grey Cup, he's probably only insulting his fans to the tune of about $50,000. It's easier to forgive.
It's one thing to say that the players didn't come today with their game faces on- but the reality is that they seem to have showed up wearing Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck masks.
Don't stop me, I'm on a roll.
Anyway, enough trash talking. Once again, the Super Bowl is predicted to be a relatively boring ground assault, and we can all sit back and wait for this November for the real game to begin.
:)
Sorry Darren.
