It's hard to believe that yesterday's Super Bowl was the LIIth. I was a Senior at NYU when Super Bowl I was played in January, 1967 and I think I remember the Packers defeating the Chiefs in that first game. I watched most of the early championship games and watched many games during the regular season for many, many years. I rooted for the Giants, Redskins, Broncos and had favorites in the Super Bowl when my favorites weren't in it. Some games were pretty good, but most I recall being not too exciting. LII sounded like it was pretty good.
The past few years on the road, we haven't had good TV reception, so we have generally missed the season and the playoffs. Last year we were invited to a Super Bowl party in Georgia, and of course were pulling for the Falcons, and thought we had it won, until Tom Brady decided it was time to get serious, and our joy was not complete. As Denver fans, of late, we have never been, nor will we ever be Patriot or Brady fans, also taking into account the damage Josh McDaniels did to our Broncos when he was their head coach. But, in any event, this year we saw a few games while in Arkansas, then in Colorado in November, but nothing since, so the Super Bowl was not on our radar except a desire to see the Patriots lose. By the way, who is Nick Foles, and is it possible he will be a Bronco next year? Get it right, John Elway. Don't repeat the way you treated Tim Tebow.
Well, goodbye football. Baseball Spring Training starts soon and we also have the Winter Olympics which I would love to see, if the TV antenna can pick up the station broadcasting it. Otherwise, I guess we pop in a movie, like we have done more than 80 times here in D.E.T. And not even one helping of popcorn. We save that for our Passion Play treat from May to October.
We lead a strange life, but one we are blessed to enjoy, serving as God calls us............. on Eagles' wings.
