Football Pretencious

Super Bowl Sunday is a fun, rowdy, sports fest filled with eating, drinking, merry making, and cheering.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of assholes at this year’s SuperBowl party who had to ruin everything.

First of all, never talk politics at a sports game. Of course, the primaries are coming up tomorrow, but still, there was a crowd four dudes spouting vehemently about one candidate or another, out shouting the volume of the TV and ruining all the commercials, which is the reason most of us came to watch the game.

But even those guys weren’t dickish enough to talk the asshole of the day prize.

I’m not a Football afficionado, but I know the sport. I don’t know the names of all the players, but I know the names of many of the quarterbacks, and I know the difference between good coverage and sloppy offense.

Yesterday’s game was possibly one of the greatest Super Bowls I’ve ever seen. The final drive by Eli Manning had everyone at our party on the edge of our seats. And the play where Manning sheds four lineman, and throws it to Tyree, which he catches on his head, well, that play was good enough to be named.

Then, at the end of the game, everyone’s saying “Great game!” “Great Game!” and this ASSHOLE confidently says, “Are you kidding?! Super Bowls are supposed to be high scoring games! I want to see 35 to 27, that would have been a game. This was nothing.”

God. Damn. If I ever wanted to punch somebody, it was that dude at that moment. Maybe it was just the warrior rush of victory in my head. But JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, that was a good game.

And now for my little health blog business. My two links this week are about vitamins online and omega 3 supplements. If either one helps you, then good for you.
