Super Bowl Sunday
Super Bowl Sunday is one of those family days that is very nearly a holiday in our house. The week has been full of speculation about the game, sadness that the season is over, and softball and t-ball tryouts. First signs of spring in our house.
My youngest just told me that he only watches football games where Texas is playing because the only players he likes play for UT, the Dallas Cowboys or the Houston Texans. He’s clearly not been bit by the fantasy football bug, which would disperse his player fan base across the NFL.
He associates playing football with great strength, and is rather impressed with folks that play multiple sports. Â He offered words of wisdom for the men that take the field today:
- watch out for rocks that might be on the field. They would really hurt when you get tackled and are in that dogpile.
- don’t wear your glasses, but put in your circle things [contacts] so you can see.
- don’t wear puffy hair
Now, I showed him a picture of Troy Polamalu, who’s hair is reknown and inspires fan-wigs. His advice for Troy? “He may not actually need a helmet – his hair is SO PUFFY that the men will bounce right off.”  We’ll have to see how that tactic influences the Seahawks offense this evening.
