Now, I think I've mentioned - or have always been afraid to here - that the Eagles are my second team.. The JV for me, if you will.. So, I was THRILLED that at least the Eagles made the Super Bowl this year since we didn't and look forward to sweating out the Rams Super Bowl game next year.. But, against the Evil Empire of Brady and Belicheck, I was practically hyperventilating the whole 4th quarter.. with 4 minutes left I had to get up and take another blood pressure med.. with a minute left my heart was beating a hole in my chest.. Part of that was Eagle-related, a large part was hatred for the Patsies and wanting to see them go down.. I mean, in the game, not how they usually go down..
So, I guess it all boils down to whether you're truly rooting for someone in the game.. if not, I guess I can see why it might not be as interesting, even tho I think it was a good game regardless of the contestants..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
