Rhapsodies

Well yesterday was a whole lot of fun with the Seahawks making it to the Superbowl again!

As I’ve said many a time that I’m a terrible fan whose idea of “following” my team for most of the season has consisted of refreshing the Google feed during the game and I’m completely guilty of mostly giving up on them after their three game loosing streak. On the plus side it allowed me not to stress out about the Seahawks’ chances, I just found out about the win after all of the drama of the astounding fourth quarter and overtime were done. So I’m really psyched about this.

What’s better is an hour later I found that my other team, the Patriots, made it too! Leading to the Game I wanted last year but didn’t get.

For the most part my following the Patriots is almost as pathetic as following the Seahawks now  back when I lived in New England being a Pats fan was kind of like being like being a Cubs fan and you were lucky if they won six games in the season… Back then I would start rooting for my fall back team, the Redskins, pretty darn quick. (but let’s not talk about them. It’s really easy not to be sentimental about the Redskins these days. ) And frankly the Patriots being a legacy juggernaut for the last ten years still kind of confuses me.

But either way it’s great having my two favorites going he’d to head. The countdown will be so much fun.

(On a side note I find it kind of interesting that this game consists of two teams who squeezed their way into their first Super Bowl only to be punked in more ways than one by the dominant team that year.)
