Sports, the Super Bowl and Me.

I come from a sports-crazy family. I was taken to every sporting event you can name from the time I was a child. Hockey, football, basketball, you name it. Whne you're watching these games and you're six years old, it's more of a chore than fun because you really don't know what's going on. As I grew older, I had to learn about the game out of sheer self-preservation. And as i always went to the games with my Dad...well, every guy likes to explain sports to someone who doesn't know the rules and my Dad is no exception. I have to say though, that football, especially pro football, has never been something I cared about. Where I come from, the Lions haven't won in years, I can't say I care about the Redskins... I told my friend M that I didn't have a horse in this race (meaning the Super Bowl) so I really didn't care. Things will change as the hockey playoffs near and the basketball playoffs come close and baseball season starts... but pro football? But I'm still glad the Giants won. Yay New York! It's actually more of an extreme dislike for the Pats, Bill Belichek and Tom Brady (screw it, UM!), so I'm glad they didn't win. I''ll be curious to see if Tom Brady shows up in NYC tomorrow to lick his wounds with Gisele-in Greenwich Village. I wouldn't show my face in New York for awhile, if I were him. He'd get beat up if the Pats had won, this way he'll just get mocked-but it won't be pretty.

Now, on to something I do care about in sports-teams report in about a week for spring training AND the Olympics are this summer-how cool is that? I love the Olympics and Olympic swimming is one of my favorite sports-now that's soomething I can get excited about.
