Super Bowl Bandwagoners

I haven't cared about the Super Bowl since, oh, I don't know...1967? And that was before I even existed. OK, that's not entirely true. I did exist for a brief moment in July of 1876. And I also went through a run of being a football fan during my high school years. I even went to an NFL game...in Los Angeles no less! How's that for old timey?

Yesterday, I did have the game on in the background but I only gave it my full attention when the commercials came on. If I had a TiVo, I would have set it to record the commercials and skip the game. Can it do that? Has modern TiVo science advanced enough?

I would also like to say that the more I hear John Madden, the more I think that Frank Caliendo is actually John Madden.

Anyway, on to today's topic: Super Bowl Bandwagoners.

If you have been a Steelers fan for less than two weeks, then you and me are about to have a serious disagreement.

Leave the celebration to the actual fans, you losers. I don't want to hear about how the Steelers kicked ass yesterday unless you cared about how the Steelers did during weeks one, two, three point one four, twelve, twenty-six and however many weeks they play these days.

It's ok for non-fans to pick a team to cheer for during the game. It is NOT ok for a non-fan to act like "their" team's victory is something to crow about. You had your Super Day and now it's time for you to take off that Steelers jersey and back away slowly. Yes, I understand that Tim from accounting now owes you a doughnut because he unwisely picked the Seahawks to be his new favorite end of January/beginning of February team, but you need to move on. You've got lots of sports to ignore before suddenly caring about college basketball sometime in March.

As for you Seahawks fans...you can take heart knowing that people won't even remember your team made it this far. You're getting off easy, for there are far worse fates than that. Just ask a Bills fan.

Finally, if anyone was able to TiVo the "In Living Color" concurrent halftime show this year, then let me know because that would be a TiVo worth owning.
