We are so fortunate to be fans of this team. My wife doesn't follow football but she knows the ritual every year. Don't make any plans during divisional round, championship round or super bowl weekend. Wild Card round is ok because we usually aren't playing that week.
She has no idea how unusual this is. It's like a part of our life. Meanwhile some of her friends have husbands who spend every year waiting for next year.
It's mind boggling the success this team has had. I almost feel like I am not worthy. But I've stuck with them through it all, I've suffered the insults and cheap shots from jealous fans and I still remember the game that will be not be mentioned like it was yesterday. People taunting me with 18-1 like that is somehow an insult.
So screw it, I deserve it. We all deserve it. Let's just savor every minute and enjoy the hell out of it and be grateful for this ride. Some day it might end. But that day isn't today!
