go team go

congrats to the colts. i wasnt sure that they would win the superbowl but i thought they had a great chance. i actually had it narrowed down to just 2 teams. the colts was one team and the bears was the other. ok, im being ridiculous.

i made it to my superbowl party late. i met a friend for dinner first. the interesting thing was that most of the great restaurants that are usually busy looked like they were closed. we were the only ones in wolfgang pucks. we watched the workers crowd around a little tv near the bar. it was wild. i am so intrigued by how powerful a game is. its the one time of the year that america stops and watches the same thing. they stand there in awe. it seems to be the most influential time of the year. companies spend millions to try to advertise to all of the willing viewers. think about it. its the only show in the whole year that people dont bother to tivo. people are watching it live. they see every commercial. they cant fast forward thru it. people just watch. its a powerful phenomenon. i dont wanna talk bad about the superbowl. i think it may even be a thing that helps our country in a weird sort of way. it brings a certain sense of unity. the more i think about it the more i remember the the empty streets and empty restaurants during the superbowl time slot. the more i think about it the more powerful i believe that it is. the influence sports has on us as a culture is substantial.

I am not a big football fan, either, but I am a fan of both coaches! They are both very committed Christians. When they speak with the media, most of the time they do not encourage them to talk about their faith....but after the win last night there was just no stopping Tony Dungee! He also walks the talk! And look at the size of the audience that he had last night! And he gave all praise and Glory to His Savior, Jesus Christ!

That alone was worth watching!

Haha Pedro...i watched the whole game and didn't understand a bit of it!!!

But our dad is a huge fan so i know a little bit about it

Like did you know it was the first super bowl that it rained...lol

Anyways...GO COLTS!!!

And i also agree with the anonymous person...he had a great chance to speak about God and he took it

But i wish more people would spend more time with the Lord instead of football...I wish our country could unite with the Lord instead of football

Does that make since?
