Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL?

It is Super Bowl Sunday and we are pumped.

For whatever reason the Super Bowl is the only championship sporting event we always watch regardless of who is in it. It's the one time a year when we will all sit around the TV watching the game,without flipping channels during commercials. We cover the coffee table with hearty snacks, load up on beer and soda, choose our bathroom breaks wisely. The kids get excited about placing quarter-a-quarter wagers with Papa for the winning team. (Of course this has more to do with bragging rights than anything else and offers some fun heckling during the game...) We talk candidly about the players on this years team, comparing each to the 85 Bears, hoping and wishing the best ones will be picked up by Chicago during the off season.

For whatever reason this has become our family football tradition. No parties and no guests, we politely decline both nearly every year. Instead it's just us. Watching football the same way we do every Sunday.

(Almost forgot...Go Steelers! I (heart) that Ben Roethlisberger.)
