In 85 & 96, do not remember anxiety, more excited than anything else.
Remember the first superbowl in '01, spent the day thinking about how was Brady doing and how was he handling the pressure. Later learned that he fell asleep on a bench in the locker room listening to his IPOD. All my anxiety for nothing.
The last Pats Superbowl I was in NOLA for Mardi Gras, and the folks I was with set up a TV on the median on Napolean St. as the parades went by, which was an incredible experience to watch the game with random people all over the country. But underneath my normal calm exterior, was a bundle of nerves that were brought to the edge with that finish.
Every superbowl spend some time on wondering how the young'uns on our team are doing, can they focus.. worry about Spikes a lot as he seems very distractable and seems to have focus issues.
Today I wake up @ 5:00 AM and the first thing that comes to mind is the Offensive Line and maybe this is the best that we have seen in this era. Trying to free my mind and get distracted, but am about as tight as a drum.
At 6:00 PM will sit down with my wife and grandson, devoid of any people, booze and distraction and stay glued to TV for the duration.. this victory cannot come soon enough.
It is now 11.5 hours until the game starts, but who is counting. Need to stay very busy.. until then.
