(Interesting sidenote, do you remember the comic you did a looooong time ago about the kid from the movie Hook? The one where you and Cami are looking up at clouds and she asks you what you're thinking? And you say you're wondering what happened to that kid? Well... Avatar: The Last Airbender did. He plays the voice for Zuko, the cartoon's resident emo kid/ badass. I was really hoping he'd be in the movie. :[ ) I, for one, can’t wait for the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie but I’ve always been a fan of the cartoon.

My wife doesn't like football much at all, but this season she has been obsessed with watching the Saints, even going so far as to get tickets to see them play when they played the Redskins in DC (we met, married, and live in Baltimore.) She was bouncing off the walls throughout the whole playoffs and is still over the moon about how the Superbowl turned out. So much so, that she was considering ditching me and the kid and heading down to New Orleans to see Drew Brees lead the Bacchus parade at Mardi Gras. This has been a welcome change from the uncontrolled sobbing into my shoulder as we watched the Katrina coverage on CNN four and a half years ago. I live in a world where Superbowl XLIV was much, much more than just a football game. It was a team bringing someone good to a broken city, led by a quarterback that joined the team for that exact purpose. Not to put a guilt trip on anybody who didn't care about the Superbowl. Just saying my perspective has been a bit different. In an alternate timeline where I'm not married to a New Orleanian, I still would have been cheering for the Saints, because I'm always a sucker for the underdog. And there's still that whole Colts thing here in Baltimore. And the commercials... yeah, it's been downhill for a few years now. Pepsi had the right idea bailing out and focusing their marketing elsewhere.

It was good times. My girlfriend and I used the Super Bowl as an excuse to steal free pizza and wings from a party downstairs in our res hall’s lobby and then vanish into the night.

In the past, the Super Bowl has tended to be an embarrassing blowout, but there have been several great games in the past five years or so, and this years may have been the best. It was exciting, it was fast, the quality of play was top-notch, and it was close right up until the last few minutes. I loved it! Commercials? Were there commercials this year? I remember something about guys in their underwear, but then my brain shut down in self-defense.

Couldn't care less about the Superbowl. As for the ads, the ones I've seen online just haven't struck me as particularly clever or creative. Pheh. Couldn’t care less about the Superbowl.

It's a vicarious thrill to watch your team fight and compete, with some drama going on. There's a storyline in there if you know where to look. "A bold and fearless leader turns the tables on the reportedly superior foe with a surprise. But despite their comeback, the enemy looks to quell the counterattack in its tracks. Can our heroes summon the strength to pull out victory? Stay tuned..." Call me weird, but the reason I get wrapped up into sports games sometimes is because it’s a story in its own way.

Granted I'm in a different time zone and Monday morning isn't nearly as appealing as Sunday night, but still TV just doesn't do it for me anymore, I'd rather catch the highlights on the net and save an hour and a half.

I couldn't care less about football or watching any other sport. So many better things to do to take up my time. You aren’t alone Tom. I couldn’t care less about football or watching any other sport.
