Superbowl 2025

 It is Superbowl Sunday!!

Normally my only concern regarding this game is if I know who is performing for the half-time show. Let me tell you, some of the past years shows have been VERY GOOD!! But that was all that I was interested in. I didn't really like any of the teams in the game nor did I understand a damn thing about the sport.

This year is a bit different though. 

I am actually going to attempt to watch the game! 

Shocking, I know. 

My "baby" brother (he is close to 30, so I am not sure that classifying him as a baby brother is still valid, but I do it so...*shrug*), he is an assistant coach for a high school football team. Now, he has played football a good portion of his life, but I didn't understand anything when I would watch him play. Anyways, his high school made it to the state championship and I went to the game, back in November with my mom, and it all clicked. I understood what I was watching. 

Anyways, so I decided that I would give it a try this year and watch the "Big Game". I don't know anything about the two teams playing. Don't have any care associated with who might win. Just going to see how long it can keep me entertained. 

Plus, I have to see the halftime show. That is a must. 

The other "downfall" to watching the game is that I usually go to bed between 8pm and 9pm, because I value my sleep, but the game doesn't start until 6pm so...it will interfere with my sleep. But, if I make it until at least halftime I will be proud of myself. 

I think if I liked either of the teams it would be easier to watch. I dunno. I do think I will be rooting for the Eagles though simply because I feel that more people probably became Chiefs fans because Taylor Swift dates one of them. So, in a way, the Eagles feel like the underdogs. And I love cheering on the underdogs!!

Please note, if you read this and are a super Eagles fan do not take offense to my thinking of them as underdogs, it is strictly my opinion based on the fact that Swift is not dating anyone on that team. I know nothing about their ability apart from they have to be fairly great cause they did, in fact, make it to the Superbowl. 

Again, my "football knowledge" comes from what I learned just a few months ago. Before that I relied on my watching of Remember the Titans, and I mainly watched that because I liked the story and the actors, not because of the football. (Also, it is very hard to believe that Opie from Sons of Anarchy is one and the same as Gerry from Remember the Titans...Ryan Hurst...that man has talent!!)

Do you watch the Superbowl? If so, do you watch for the game, the halftime show or the ads? How long have you been a football fan and why?? Best piece of advice you have for someone like me, that is in their 40s and just now, kinda sorta getting their feet in the football pond?? Join in the conversation in the comments and let me know.

I have been working on the book today. I believe that I am close to being done and sending it in for a copyright!! That is both exciting and anxiety inducing. So, gonna get back to that...until next time: Remember to be kind, smile lots, and dance often!!
