Ok, the loss hurt, and I thank the Lord I can put it all in perspective much better than I did these things in my youth.
After all, its just a game, and after all, the Patriots have won me 3 Super Bowls. And they are still a contender with a terrific young OL and DL, a great QB, and a great coach.
But the thought of that lingering Super Bowl bothered me. How can I enjoy THAT?
Then I realized, the one solace I got in 2003 after the Grady Little fiasco was being able to laugh at the Yankees then losing to Florida.
Ha Ha Ha And the pain did lessen a little as they suffered.
So, yes, it would be painful to watch Manning and the Colts in the Super Bowl and hearing about their greatness. And watching it as nuetral fan would be just annoying.
But then I thought, what if I latched myself around the team nobody gives a chance, the Bears, and their QB everyone thinks stinks?
Imagine the comfort and joy in the possibility of seeing the Bears beat the Colts, of watching Manning on the sidelines, sitting, head down, Jim Nantz and Phil Simms talking about "well, the monkey cant be off the back because they didnt win here"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA take that!!!!! Revenge!! Revenge!!!!!!!!!
well, thats the thought anyway. It worked a little in 2003. Although not as much as the Patriots winning that OT game in Miami.
Ok, I'll ask the Lord to help me work on that "revenge" thing. Its only a game.
But I will be rooting for the Bears
