Super Bowl Sunday!

I love this picture of the Saints QB and his son....precious!


I did something this weekend that I have never done before. I watched the entire Super Bowl game from start to finish! I was pretty proud of myself considering that I have never been a big football fan. I will even admit that I was a cheerleader in high school and I remember times that I would get home from the game and my dad would ask me who won and I didn't know.... sad, but true. I wanted to be a cheerleader because I loved cheerleading and the cute uniforms and not because of football! I have been to many Super Bowl parties and spent most of my time talking with the other girls that had no idea what was going on in the game either. I would only watch the half time show and of course the commercials and that was about it. So, this was a big deal for me to sit down and watch the entire game.

I have to say that I really enjoyed watching it. I wasn't exactly going for one team or the other, but I heard that Peyton Manning is an amazing quarterback and so I started pulling for the Colts to win. I still don't get all the rules and calls yet, but I get the basic idea. I actually was on the edge of my seat at one point when the ball was intercepted by the Saints and they made a touchdown. It was pretty exciting to watch the Saints get that touchdown.

I know that only one team can win, but I just hate watching the other team sadly walk off the field while the winning team is celebrating. Don't you wonder what they talk about when they get in the locker room? Are they crying, mad, or good sports about it. Probably a mix of emotions. Anyway, I wasn't impressed with the half time show, the commercials were okay, and I thought Carrie Underwood was amazing as usual. I love her voice! My favorite commercials were the E-trade babies (so cute) and the Tim Tebow commercial. Below is an interview with Tim Tebow's parents where they tell their whole story. 30 seconds did not do it justice, but I am so glad that Focus on the Family got it on the air.

I am still not sure if I would sit and watch football on a Monday night, but I am definitely more interested in it. Who knows, there might be a football fan in me somewhere :)

So proud of you for watching football! I must say that even I didn't watch cause I'm just not a pro football fan, but the commercials are always fun :) I'm telling you, start watching college football next season and I bet you'll be hooked!
