intertribalWell, one good thing came out of the Cardinals losing in the final minutes of the Super Bowl (Kurt Warner... I'm sorry, man, I know you're old and shit, but you lost the battle of the quarterbacks tonight, and I don't even like Ben Roethlisberger or the Steelers) ... I totally got Lucia into football.
I'm very proud of this. It's always a challenge to explain sports to people - and to get them into the sport - and given that Lucia had said just Saturday morning that football revolted her, this was like walking uphill in the snow. Both ways. Clearly I'm like the Saint Paul of football.
Credit goes to the game for being good and having all those exciting touchdowns. Makes it easy for us apostles to spread the good word when fun stuff happens. Still, it sucks that the first football team Lucia ever rooted for lost. But that's the "contract" we enter into as fans: acceptance that the team we root for may lose. And the sooner one learns that, the better - saves pain down the road. I mean, look at my mother. Her favorite male and female tennis players both lost their respective Australian Open finals this weekend. Sports is all about the heartbreak. Just ask Brett Favre.
And now the seven-month drought begins, and I start crying.
