I can’t believe that football season is over. It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was at Lehigh University for the Eagles Training Camp in temperatures that would make a cactus sweat, but sadly that was a long time ago. When the final whistle sounds on Sunday night, with the Colts named the World Champions and Peyton Manning claiming another MVP award I will silently weep.

So another year gone by, and another Super Bowl Sunday will be recorded in the history books, and people all over this great land will be devouring wings and chugging beers as the minutes tick away on another season. It’s such a sad thought to think about, no football for months on end with only the never-ending barrage of NBA and NHL highlights filling the airwaves. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy both the NBA and NHL but the highlights of Kobe dropping in a three, Lebron doing that smoke thing with the powder or Alexander Ovechkin scoring another goal against nameless defenses just doesn’t cut it after you’ve seen it 25-50 times, over and over again.

We do have NASCAR, so I’ve heard coming back to Sundays, and I hear the PGA is still out there, only I could care less about either of these at this point. No Tiger, no John Daly, players turning on each other and crying about Phil Mickelson using “cheater clubs”. Come on, say what you want about Tiger’s personal life, but golf is nothing right now without him. They already had an event and I don’t even know who won.

NASCAR is back and they claim to be allowing the drivers to mix it up a little more this year on the track, but still that doesn’t draw my attention and the Nationwide circuit might as well just fold with Danica Patrick being allowed to drive. I don’t care that she is a woman driver, she has absolutely no skills and has not earned the right, and besides, when she gets out of her car, and on numerous occasions challenges a male driver to a fight, and even at times put her hands on other drivers, she crossed the line.
 
So back to the Super Bowl. My Christmas. My favorite Sunday of the year. What will you be doing? Where will you be celebrating this day?
