Just to put it in perspective - a bunch of grown men played with a ball yesterday. Basically played a child's game.
They didn't cure a fatal disease, master cold fusion, or bring peace to the Middle East.
The truth is that the people who pick up our garbage every week have a more meaningful impact on the quality of life than a group of men playing a game. And they do it for a lot less money. The "professional" athletes could disappear tomorrow and very few would notice their absence. Can't say the same for the garbage collectors, nurses, and others who are actually worthy of respect and idolization.

BRAVO! I have never been much of a sports fan. I've always felt that all that money, attention, & publicity could be better spent somewhere else. it's a shame that the people that touch our lives in a positive way are taken for granted & paid the least.

rotflmao, dear God; I've been thinking about something sarcastic to say about the Super Bowl, but hey, I see my jobs been done. Thank you.

Not a fan either! So many more worthwhile things to attend to in the world!

Thank- you ! I second that opinion! I can not understand the way people idolize professional athletes : especially pieces of crap like Michael Vick. Please. Potential serial killer material ....
