AdBowl Sunday
Huh? It’s Super Bowl Sunday? Oh, yes. That.
At some earlier point, I used to care about the NFL and the Super Bowl. I was a big 49′ers fan (sitting in the rain at Candlestick for a big game versus Green Bay was a highlight - going to a couple of Championship parades down Market Street, etc.)
But then I went to 6 World Cup games at Stanford in 1994 … I probably have more of a handle on what’s happening in the English Premier League than the NFL. Maybe the sports authorities will have me deported to the UK for some sort of Unpatriotic League Allegiance. Yeah, and I much prefer to Formula One to NASCAR! (ed note: digging a hole here.. just got dropped from a lot of party invites) In both cases, I’d say the level of skill is higher! (ed note: well, that’ll do it, just got added to lists of parties involving English, Brazilian, Dutch, Italian, and German fans).
But aside from all that, I’ll watch the Game for the Ads. I’ll also root for Seattle, because I love that town - almost bought a house in Green Lake once. By the way, Pittsburgh, I like your Warhol Museum and the river and hills, and hope to visit again someday.
Go Madison Avenue! Go Seahawks!
