Wow! What a Superbowl! I told myself I wasn’t interested in watching it, but I couldn’t help checking in. I witnessed the 100 yard touchdown by the Steelers in the first half which got me hooked, tuned in for some Bruce at halftime, and then got distracted by Wipeout on ABC because that show cracks me up! Anything that makes me laugh until I cry gets two thumbs up from me.
I told myself and others that I was feeling neutral when it came to who to root for. It felt odd to say, being a Bengals fan and all – that I would even consider rooting for the Steelers. Yet, I felt like if I didn’t root for them, I would know it was because they took our Carson down and out two years ago and that might mean I was holding a grudge. I don’t want to be the type of person who holds a grudge.

So, I went in rooting for both teams like a girl. As the game really heated up in the fourth quarter, I found myself getting more and more involved in the game. Then, Fitzgerald of Arizona caught that pass for a touchdown with just a few minutes left and I jumped out of my chair, threw my hands in the air and yelled, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
After my premature victory dance, I sat down and started giggling. Apparently, I was rooting for a team – Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals! The Bengal fan in me came alive and I felt the anxiety level rise in me as Ben tried his best to ruin this SuperBowl for me. And ruin it, he did. But, hats off to Ben and his Steelers for making the big plays at crunch time to come out on top and thanks to Kurt and his Cardinals for hanging tough and making it so exciting to watch!
Mark my words though, the Cincinnati Bengals are going to rule their division next year. ( or maybe the year after that…)

It was a great game, wasn't it? I told myself I really didn't care this year . . . but turns out - I was rootin' for the Steelers the whole time (I'm a Bears fan through and through, but since our hopes were dashed as usual, I had to go w/ the down and dirty team from Pittsburgh this time). Did you catch the commercials in 3-D? That was pretty cool!
I am SOOOO not a football fan. But I did go to a totally fun Superbowl party where I watched all of about 10 minutes of the game...but had some great girl gab and ate lots of yummy snack food....so even though I'm not a football fan...i am a fan of the superbowl!
