I really had a little hard time last night after the AFC championship game was over. That’s when I would have ordered my Super Bowl shirt! That is a tradition that started once we moved into this house. I remember buying Sean a Ravens hat when they won after the game delay. That’s when we started watching sports together. I even let him stay up to watch the end of the game which was super late because of the power issue.
I started watching NFL football in 2009 when Sean started playing for the Dearborn Lions. That’s when I fell in love with Matthew Stafford! So, historically, I have not had a horse in the race as a Lions fan this deep into the post season. But then he was traded.
I was completely at a loss when that happened and Sean told me that I am a traitor because I became a Rams fan. My friend, Bert, told me that I had to stay true to my heart and so I did.
I have not watched any football this year. Only highlights on Twitter. I feel like a horrible fan but I think my health has dictated that I can’t do it anymore. I have been trying to hype myself up by saying that I will watch last year Super Bowl but I don’t think my eyes can’t handle it.
I was discussing this with my friend, Bert, yesterday and he understands where I’m coming from. He made me feel better with the statement of fact:
So, yesterday, I did NOT order a Super Bowl shirt because I am not even watching it but if I did, it would definitely be an Eagles shirt! I wore that shirt after they won the Super Bowl until there were holes in the armpits! I had to throw it away then!
