The final score of the superbowl yesterday was such a disappointment! Several people at the party we attended kept saying, "It's ok. It was a good game." My response to that was "IT IS NOT OKAY! WE DIDN'T WIN! (People tell me I'm competitive). When we got home last night I couldn't watch the news or any post game coverage because I was so upset for the team. It wasn't like it was a blow-out game. I mean they played their hearts out and ALMOST HAD IT! Even this morning I got sick to my stomach when my MSN homepage popped up on my computer screen with the big, fat, ugly Steelers holding their stupid trophy! (People tell me I'm competitive). Well, I've decided that it probably isn't healthy for me to have such strong feelings over a game that I had NO control over and NO part of. I don't personally know any of the players, coaching staff, trainers, etc. or even their families. So why let it bother me? After sending that thought through my brain a few times I finally felt a little better. Then I decided that the Cardinals may not have won the super bowl, but they DANG sure have better won the respect of this country's football fans. They are a great team and I know we haven't seen the last of them in playoff situations!

I am so with you! Some announcer said that they should hold their heads up high. I agree, they have nothing to be ashamed of, but they LOST. Ugh. Coming that close to winning, does not leave a warm feeling in your heart. Ryan disagrees with me, but I just tell him that he never lost in a State Championship game... (But I have to let that go...) (like you, I have a few problems with being competitive). Maybe we will have to form a support group. . .
You sound just like my husband. He has even sat around today being completely bummed out about the game. I feel the same but can let it go pretty easily thank goodness. Those last few minutes were so stressful! I too need to learn to not try and control things I can't control. I am always doing that!
What?? YOU COMPETITIVE?? I would've never guess that you were. HMMM...remind me not to play SCUM with you next time we're in town! Let's just hope you're not like my mom and throw things!!
