Are You Ready for Some Football??

Today millions upon millions of Americans will tune in to watch the biggest sporting event of the year. The Superbowl. I forget what number Superbowl this one will be, but I know it's in the forties.

This year's Superbowl comes with a miraculous story because for the first time ever, The Arizona Cardinals have made it there. How? Two words: Kurt Warner. The quaterback who several years ago came out of nowhere, he was a bagger at a grocery store, and led the Rams to a Superbowl victory. And a couple years later led his team to the Superbowl again, was injured and the coaches said he wouldn't be able to play.....but he did.

That's pretty amazing. Especially considering he is pretty old for a football player. He's in his upper thirties. He's not very muscularly built either. He had some trouble a few years ago while he was still playing for the Rams. He was injured, and the Rams let him go. The biggest mistake they've ever made.

This year Warner was signed to the worst team in the league, The Arizona Cardinals. Ironic in a way because this team came from the city he used to play for, his former team, the Rams play there now.

So now Kurt Warner has led this team to victory. All the way up to the Superbowl to face the Pittsburg Steelers.

I don't really know who to cheer for. I want to see Kurt Warner win another Superbowl. He's a great guy and he might not play after this year. It would be great to see him win another one. If he wins this Superbowl, he'll end his career with a phenomenal story.

But I like the Steelers also. They're a good team. After my home team began to suck terribly, I needed a new team to cheer for. The Steelers is the perfect team to cheer for.

So I think this Superbowl will be interesting.

I'm also curious to see what the commercials will be like. Anheuser Busch used to have the best commericals. during the Superbowl, I can't even begin to fathom how much money they put into the Superbowl every year. But now that they have been taken over by Inbev, I don't know if that will necessarily be the case.

That will be interesting to see.

So what team are you rooting for?

Peace out,
