Well, here we are… holidays are behind us. Now in February of a leap year. My two friends from University with birthdays on the 29th are now 8. I have to make sure I greet them at the end of the month.

February is a busy month for everything but if you’re a sports fan you probably know that the Super Bowl is this weekend. The annual culmination of the National Football League season to determine the champion for American, professional football. There are often comparisons drawn between all types of football, rugby, soccer, etc. Truth be told, I think they’re all good. It’s truly a gripping, made for TV moment when all the practice, all the hype and all the talk boil down to one game and one opportunity to shine. Winners sip champagne and the losers make their own arrangements.

The Super Bowl , is a massive television event not just in the United States but all over the planet. Grown men and women of all races, ethnicities and tastes come together as one. Even those who don’t even care can be drawn into the spectacle. I would often tell friends who didn’t understand football or who have never watched it in their life to “scream when everyone else screams and you’ll have fun”. Watching any sporting event with a group of friends can be enjoyable. To all the ladies out there who sympathize to make their male friends happy and humour us by watching, thank you and on behalf of all men, WE LOVE YOU!
