Yes, it was THAT AWFUL. like two high school varsity teams slogging it out on a muddy field, the Colts embarassed the Bears. It was no super game at all, but a miserable mushy mess of a field in the pouring rain. The Bears from the rough weather of Chicago could not hold onto the ball. The only guy who could was Joseph Addai of the Colts.
At least I was right about that it might rain. It came down in sheets, the streaming water down their bare arms, and the announcers saying that the rain might just be affecting their play just a little.
What a horrible way to win the NFL title. Peyton earned his mvp not by being the best player, who of course was running back Adai, but simply by acting mature and not throwing any hissy fits of any great consequence.
I'm so glad Peyton read my blog and gave his teammates credit when he was up on stage instead of saying Amen to Dungy's usual speech about God winning the game for them. This time Tony Dungy backed away from his usual fundy theology and said "sometimes God asks that you work for it." Well he was close. God asks that you work for it ALL THE TIME, NOT SOME OF THE TIME.
Listen to the Jesuit saying, "Pray as though everything depended on God, but work as though everything depended on you!" That said, I haven't been working hard enough.
The best work the Colts and Peyton did wasn't in the Super Bowl. It was two weeks before when they taught Tom Brady that he can't wait til the last minute to get to work. What the Colts and Peyton did in that second half was the real Super Bowl. I'm glad I didn't miss it.
And how are you? Is anyone there?
