It's my Christmas, my New Years, my 4th of July all rolled into one holiday: Super Bowl Sunday is HERE!
I'm a big football fan. I love college ball, the NFL, and even Arena Football (after all I was a cheerleader for the Detroit Drive 'back in the day'). College ball is different from the pro leagues. There's the excitement of the marching bands, the cheerleaders, the school spirit, the boosters. On Super Sunday, it seems like the NFL takes on that same atmosphere.
I have been resigned to never seeing my beloved Lions in a Super Bowl, so each year when it comes down to the head to head hero match up for all the marbles, I'm forced into a precarious pick between two teams I'm usually not a fan of. Bring on the Packers vs the Steelers.
Do I cheer for the Lambeau Leap (which I love), the cheese head, Miller beer, and Aaron Rodgers of the Packers? Do I cheer for the Terrible Towel, Heinz ketchup and Clark bars, and the team that brought legends Terry Bradshaw and Jerome Bettis?
Do I cheer for the flowing blonde locks of Clay Matthews or black curls of Troy Polamalu?
I do know what I AM DOING: after years of having to take care of every aspect of hosting a party for a client, I get to be a pure spectator at Your Mother's in Mt Clemens. I am going to watch all the commercials. I am going to stuff my face with pizza and wings (they have the biggest BEST wings evah!), drink copious amounts of beer, and yell my head off for every good play, no matter who made it. I'm a cheerleader at heart and always will be.
But since I DO have to coordinate an outfit, I'm going to go with one of my favorite fun peeps in the world and her family (thank you, Michelle Urben & mom & dad Urben) I am leaning towards the Steelers. Besides, blondes rock the color black.
Either way, drink lots, eat lots, cheer lots, and celebrate the beauty that is professional football. Then go hang around the locker room exits and try to snag you a rich player.
