First weekend in Feb means only one thing: Super Bowl Sunday. The culmination of real blood, sweat and tears over the grueling NFL season. Two teams fighting for the Lombardi Trophy. The problem is that MY team is nowhere to be found.
After last year’s disastrous Steeler loss in 2011 Super Bowl XLV to the Green Bay Packers I was hoping that we [The Photosapien and the Steelers] had enough in the tank to fight through injuries and get back into the big game. Not to be. The Good Guys lost in the first round to the surprising Denver Broncos on a simple play in overtime by Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas. We forgot to tackle I guess.
Sigh.
So now it’s the New York Giants [whom I have no ill will against] vs my absolute enemy the New England Patriots. I crossed out their name because I cannot stand to see that they have a chance to win YET ANOTHER championship.
Sigh x 2
Yeah yeah I have Haterade juice overflowing my cup. So what.
I will be rooting HARD for the same result in this epic rematch from Super Bowl XLII . As it stands, I am 19 hours, 24 minutes and 29 seconds away from kick off and I can only pray that the pain of a Steeler-less Super Bowl is eased by a Patriots defeat (notice I didn’t say a Giants win?).
The 2 photos above are a representation of the Photosapien when the Steelers lost and my expression when I realized that the New England Patriots were going to the Super Bowl. You pick which picture fits either situation.
SI the “Patriot Detesting” Photosapien
