Superbowl's Real Winners!

   Just in case you didn't notice yesterday was
Super Bowl Sunday!
   As has become our custom a group made up
of family and friends gathered at my daughter's
house for a Super Bowl Party.
    Of the 14 or so adults attending our
gathering I think it's safe to say that two are
actually football fans. It's not uncommon for
somebody to ask who's playing before the
game gets under way.
    The majority come more anxious to see
the commercials than the kickoff. Although
there is usually some interest in the Half
Time Show.
     So how come so many "indifferent" football
people are suddenly  heard shouting, cheering,
and questioning calls on the field as though
they've been die hard fans since birth?
    And why is it they're constantly
switching which team they're rooting for
throughout the game?
    Well it could, of course, have something
to do with a friendly game in which all the
players at home pick a number. Then, at
certain parts of the game like the end of
the first quarter, or halftime, or the like,
you add up the score. If the last number of
the score is the same as your number
you win...well....let's say... a prize.
    I'll say no more.
    This year both teams scored just enough
to make me happy. Again, I'll say no more.
    Everybody brings food too!
    The eating is timed to coincide with the
beginning of the network's pre game shows
and ends several days later when even the
left overs taken home are finally consumed.
     Most important of all it's a great time of
fun for family and friends!
     When you look at it that way there are
no Super Bowl losers.....at least at our
party!
     Hope you enjoyed the game with people
you love and that all your NEWS is good!
