Ok, so lately my thoughts are more on 'Is this the right color pink?' or 'Will those shoes be comfortable to wear all night after the ceremony?', but there is a much larger question at hand people. Colts or Saints? Who will it be?
Well, let's take a minute to weigh the pro's and con's of both.
Indianapolis- Just like our fair city, 'napolis is cold, snowy, residential and family-oriented. It resembles a feeling of a comfortable neighbor you can borrow sugar from, and know they'll only come knocking when they run out too. If the Colts were a subdivision, then Peyton Manning would be it's homeowners association's president. And what a president he would make! He's a born leader, who also seems to know a thing or two about throwing a football around on a Sunday afternoon. The Colts seem to have coasted through this season without much hype, but as of late, with quite a bit of hope. Though not an all-out brutal team, they promise to play the Super Bowl with the same efficacy they bring to the field now. You get what you expect. Precision and fine tuning.
New Orleans-Totally unlike our fair city, 'nawlins comes to life when most sweet babes are being tucked in for the night. This is definitely a city where you don't feel like you could borrow anything from your neighbor, unless you're looking for mardi gras beads or king cakes. This is a neighbor I'd want small children to steer clear of, not because they're dangerous, but because citizens of 'nawlins like to live it up, and the raucous nightlife could keep the kiddies awake for much of the night. I do respect how much the city did come together after the trainwreck known as Katrina. It completely devastated the area's homes and businesses. The Saints really stepped up to the plate and helped raise money to rebuild the city. The first few games they played after the hurricane hit were welcomed by citizens and bystanders alike. Much as their style of play, they prove that they can overcome adversity and move forward with heart and determination. This is much of what we have seen from them this season, and will bring an interesting feel to the field come Sunday.
No matter if you're rooting Yankee or Suthin', we're in for a good game. Maybe not as attention grabbing as the Steelers (go 'burgh!) or the Browns, but I think we'll see a lot of heart and spirit on the field at kick off.
Whether you're a fan of the game, or just enjoy the food, the Super Bowl is one of my favorite things to watch every year. I get to be with people I love, they don't look at me funny when I yell at the tv, and I get to hang out in flannel pants and a team sweatshirt for the day. All in all, it's the perfect day.
Eat like it's turkey day all over again, and relish the time you get to spend with family and friends.
See you at kick off!
