Football

Normally I am not one to set and watch much TV at all, especially sports. I do like to keep the Steeler games on, which is usually no problem as Mike and the kids are glad to set and watch as I walk through every couple of minutes while doing things like looking for stray dishes that need to be in the dish washer before it starts and such. Yesterday however, something came over me. I realized that Arizona was playing Philadelphia in the first game and of course I knew that Pittsburgh was playing Baltimore in the second. This realization then hit me that if Philadelphia won and of course the Steelers would win ( after all the Ravens used to be the Browns... enough said)then it would be a PA super bowl. Now that would be cool. I turned on the Philadelphia game to Philly losing but then they started to come back. I was hooked and actually sat down and watched. In the end Arizona earned their first Super Bowl ticket which was ultimately OK with me . I did get up and fix some snacks before the Steeler's kick off but as Martina McBride sang the anthem over the rudeness of cheering chanting fans ( OK I will save the lack of respect for our National Anthem / country now a days post for another day )I was back in my seat. I honestly expected a game where Pittsburgh stomped all over the Ravens ( again they used to be the Browns so that is where that came from )but I was surprised. What a game ! In the end of course,the Steelers punched their super bowl ticket but they had to work for it. What a wonderful game ! Now I am hooked. I think I will actually watch the whole super bowl. Possibly even attend a Super Bowl Party.But before I do I need a new Steeler jersey. Possibly a #22 William Gay one... Guess I will head out shopping . Have a great day all !
