Not only did I pick the right team, but remember the square I picked earlier? It won me $40.

I love to sportz!

Intensity!




Seems like things are getting intense up in here. The score is close and there are only a matter minutes left. Everyone in the room keeps screaming but I haven't yet been able to connect what exactly it Is on screen that inspires such excitement so I just scream too.

Go Packets!

Well

I've been out of the room for awhile. But there's been lots of screaming going on around the tv. Lots of sportz are happening here tonight.

And my team is still winning. Time for another beer.

Wow

Apparently there are rapists on the team. And I thought hockey was hardcore.

Not taking my eyes off the screen until after the next rape penalty.

Huh?

I just spent 30 min in the kitchen talking about Silkworm, the trials and tribulations of freelancing and drug deals gone awry only to walk back in the living room to find that all the Super Bowl players have been replaced by puppies. Very confused.

1st period update

"skeet skeet, bitch. Four yards" - Jon Decious.

The team I chose is winning. But I think the technical sportz jargon above is in defense of the Steelers.

I put $1 on a square. I'm told this could win me something.

Also, the Black Eyed Peas? Really?

Superbowl update!




I've had 4 beers and 4 styles of bean dip. But neither team has any points.

Apparently both teams have immaculate defense. This is the best of my understanding so far.

Something exciting just happened but I missed it bc I was blogging.

LET'S SUPER BOWL!

Today is the Super Bowl. As you can tell by its title, this game is either "very good" or "excellent" or an extra or unwanted game. Though, given its immense popularity, I'm guessing it's not the latter.

It's occurred to me that when watching the Super Bowl – or any televised competitive game – that a side must be chosen. I have less than an hour to overcome my ambivalence and express a preference for one team over the other. Given that I haven't seen any of this seasons' games and know virtually nothing about either team, this is going to either very challenging or completely arbitrary.

Seriously, how does a sportz ignorant such as myself pick a side?!

Let's start with basics, look at our options and weigh their pros and cons:

GREEN BAY PACKERS
[+]Green Bay, Wisconsin sounds like a pretty boring place - however it 1. sounds kind of like Green Day, and 2. was name-dropped in NOFX's "Punk Guy". So far, Green Bay is feeling pretty punk rock to me.

[-]They have poor taste in team colors. Green and yellow? This team has a Limon Twist that isn't sitting right with me.

[+]Wisconsin is well known for exporting delicious cheeses. Hence, their team is named for the men and women who make their livings packing these cheeses into containers. I appreciate these working class vibes.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS
[-]A few great bands have come from Pennsylvania: The Dead Milkmen, The Human Beinz, Atom and his Package, but all those are from Philadelphia or Youngstown. Even after a decent amount of research, the only band I can find from Pittsburgh is Rusted Root. Not very rock n roll, Pittsburgh.

[+]What's up wit this helmet logo? most teams just have a mascot or the first letter of their name. These guys have some weird three star shit going on. I don't know what this means, and I don't know what a "Steeler" is. So, I feel like there's perhaps some mysterious masonic, illuminati shit going on behind this team. I like it.

eh. okay. i've got 2 pros for Green Bay and only one for Pittsburgh.

GREEN BAY IT IS!
