I have never been into watching sports on television. The last time I took any kind of interest was when Ara Parseghian was coach at Notre Dame (I believe that was the mid '70's, or somewhere in that region).
I know that most Americans have a certain team that they root for. I have been in/near Chicago, San Diego, Seattle and Philadelphia and haven't been to a professional sports game since the late '80's (when I went to a Fort Wayne Komets game with my family. My oldest daughter, who was a babe in arms at the time, fell asleep. She was also starting a non interest early).
The fervor in Philadelphia over the Eagles going to the SuperBowl baffled me. I watched intelligent people making complete fools of themselves. There was even a rivalry at work as our boss is from Long Island, which almost makes him a Patriot fan by default (I guess).
I am looking forward to Tuesday morning, since the fervor will be over (one way or the other). But it has definitely been interesting to watch.
