Superbowl Boredom

As most of you know, I can't stand football.  Not only can I not stand it, but I have a husband who LOVES it. I've tried to figure out over the years why I hate it so much, and I just can't put my finger on it.  But I think it's mostly because other people LOVE it so much.  I don't hate hockey, or basketball, or baseball.  In fact, I have been known to enjoy a baseball game or two.  But for some reason, people lose their $hit when it comes to football!  They grow crazy!  Grown men (and women!!) walk around in PUBLIC wearing jerseys.  People dress their kids up in team colors for the school day.  People log onto the internet to watch the game through live streaming for goodness sake.  They treat these overgrown men like gods.  And I just don't get why.  I think it's really really boring.  To quote one of my favorite movies, "run, tackle, fall down, what's to like?"

But there's always a silver lining.  Unlike professional wrestling (don't get me started on THAT), the football season does finally come to an end in early February.  This Sunday will mark the end of the current season and I couldn't be happier!  As a treat to my husband, I usually make him a bunch of crappy food, and when I say crappy, I mean fattening and really good.  Plus, this is the only game all year that I watch with him.  I will admit I do find the commercials mildly entertaining.  But it doesn't make up for the fact that I have to sit there for four hours enduring one of the two sports that give me a visceral reaction.  Wish me luck in getting through the big game!
