Last night I posted in the middle of the Packers/Giants game, and the Pack were up something like 17-13, and looking good.
Then, they lost it in overtime, after the Giants tied it up in the 4th quarter. Clearly, in my few moments away from the TV, Brett Favre felt the loss of my support and totally came apart at the seams. Next year, all viewing, no blogging!
It would have been totally awesome to see Brett win another Superbowl. He won the very first one I ever watched, something like…11 years ago? I am old. Anyway, at the time, Green Bay was the only team I’d ever heard of and their predominance as answers to Trivial Pursuit questions led me to believe that they must, obviously, make it to the Superbowl every year. Or at least, every other year. Apparently, not true, but that year they won and now the legend lives on and I’m not letting go.
I think even if they had won last night, though, they probably would have been spanked by New England in the Superbowl. As I expect the Giants to be next week. Just gives me more time to concentrate on my chili, I say.
In other news, today is the last day of voting over at the Canadian Blog Awards. I think I’m sitting at something like 8th in the Best Personal Blog category, and only the top 5 get to go on to the next round. So vote, if you haven’t gotten around to it yet!
