Super Bowl Gameday

by

It’s finally here, kids! The best day of the year besides Christmas - Super Bowl Sunday! Before we get to the game, some pre-game notes:

- On ESPN’s pre-game show, Mike Ditka donned his vintage 80’s style Bears sweater vest for good luck.

(As you look at this picture, remember that just over 20 years ago, people were looking at this outfit saying, “hey, that’s pretty cool.” We’ve come a long way, baby.)

- Today’s weather forecast in Miami: crappy! Showers and 10-15 mph winds, making this the first Super Bowl played in inclement weather. That’s great! If we’re lucky, we’ll get some hail, lighting and locusts as well.

- If I hear one more player say during an interview, “we just do what we do”, I’m jumping out a 10-story window. Don’t hate - I just gotta do what I do.

- The ratio between actual football playing time and commercials for the movie “Norbit” from now until the end of the game could be roughly 1 to 12. You’ve officially been warned.

- After watching the highlights from Super Bowl XL again, I have one thing to say: no matter who you’re rooting for today, let’s all hope and pray for a well officiated game. Please. For Mike Holmgren’s sake.

More to come later.

    That sweater is good luck? The glasses and pleated pants look luckier than the sweater vest.
