Flag on the Play

I'm kind of getting excited about this 'Superbowl' that everyone is talking about.  I haven't a clue why... I haven't watched a single football game this season.  I know it's hard to believe I'm not a big sport's person, but bare with me.

I just can't get into t.v. games.  The occasional baseball game is okay. I mean that as in if I want to take a nap and there is one being broadcast I'll turn it on and turn it down low so I can sleep. Being at the actual game is a bit better, especially if you have friends.  It's a good time to catch up on things with them.  I sort of got into soccer a bit this past year, during that whole World Cup phenomena.  But if the game isn't exciting or the players aren't taking off their shirts in celebration of a goal I just have to change the channel.

I have yet to go to a hockey game.  I do hear those are way better in person than on the television.  I believe I'm going next week to a home game in St. Louis with a bunch of people... like 14.  I've just never been into sports or athletic.  Even as a kid.  Sure I'd throw the ball with my dad, but I wasn't, and still not, coordinated very well.

I also got hit in the head with sports balls a lot in gym.  That's probably why I hated P.E.  Seriously, if the sport involved a ball I would eventually get said ball in the face.  I think I broke a pair of glasses that way once.  But back to the main topic, I'm getting excited for Superbowl.  I don't know who's playing or anything like that, but it's about the commercials anyway... isn't it?
