Superbowl – Not the Outcome I Expected
05-Feb-2006
I’m pretty sad right now. My boys didn’t quite pull through. There were times they battled and, I’m sad to say, there were times they seemed to work against themselves. There were a few questionable calls that I would have liked to see go our way instead of the Steelers’. I’m pretty sure that first Steeler touchdown wasn’t one but you couldn’t say for sure. But really there was only one truly bad call, although it may have aided in a Steelers’ touchdown. Hasselbeck was called for an illegal block that was actually a legal tackle. That resulted in a 15 yard penalty and led to a set up for another Steeler touchdown. But if we’d played to our potential it probably would have been a non-issue. Even with all that, the score was respectable and the game was good – not one of those Superbowls where you wonder why you are bothering to watch – well, except for the commercials, of course. All week I’d been feeling bad because I had this bet with Lenn and hadn’t been able to do all the trash-talkin’ I had planned. Work was just too dang busy and unfortunately I was doing a lot of writing, so coming home and sitting and writing trash just wasn’t that appealing. Looking back that’s a little lucky – I don’t have to eat any words right now…. :-)
What I do have to do, unfortunately, is find a shipping box for my little friend pictured above. Lenn is now the proud owner of this lovely bottle of wine. Although I’m sad to lose it, I’m comforted by the fact that I’m sending it to someone who will appreciate it. That (kind of) makes up for the disappointment of our loss.
I need to go now and wallow in my sadness. Good thing we are having a break in our miserable winter weather. There is supposed to be sun tomorrow which makes this all a little easier to take. Sigh….
Just wait until next year!

Is Lenn going to share the bottle with Bill Leavy and his men in black and white? They really worked their tails off to ensure the Steeler victory!
:-) It was disappointing, wasn\’t it? They were just too much part of the game. I\’ll be interested in hearing the NFLs response later this week.
