Cheers to the Super Bowl

February 1, 2012

Giants Charged Up and Patriots Big Game are just two American Quarter Horses with a stake in the great American game.

Two-Bits is ready for the big game. Are you?

Cheers to Super Bowl XLVI, a fight of honor between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants, February 5 in Indianapolis.

When you could be out riding your horses, you will instead be inside, glued to NBC, eating chips slathered in various dips and drinking 10 different kinds of beverages while decked out in your team’s colors.

For one day out of the year — OK, for some of you, one day a week for the entire football season — there is something more important than your new showing prospect, more interesting than your horse’s new shoes and more frustrating than your trusty steed deciding the rock he has seen every day of his life suddenly turned into a horse-eating demon.

Let’s face it, the Super Bowl takes precedence. It sucks out your soul and leaves a trail of heartache … or is that heartburn? You know how much the advertisement spots cost, but instead of turning away in disgust, you watch in utter rapture, as engrossed as though the good Lord himself is speaking through the television set — cough — high definition television set — cough.

The next day, with a splitting headache and worse stomach pains, you stumble blurry-eyed into work with coffee on the brain and football on the mind. You rejoice in the team that won and complain about a fumbled pass, all the while avoiding everyone to whom you owe money and hunting down the people who owe you. With a very large caffeinated drink, you sit in front of the computer and pull up the recaps from the day before — the great football triumphs and failures, the best and worst commercials and the half-time show with declarations that your 32-year-old pasture fixture horse could have done a better job singing the latest pop hit (No offense, Madonna!). At some point, you find that one person in the office who didn’t watch the game and declare him or her shunned for the foreseeable future. They are dead to you.

To football Sunday, no matter how you celebrate. May it be everything you hoped for and more.

Until then, consider these Quarter Horses named in honor of the great American sport. Sorry, baseball. I know you have the official title, but I think the Super Bowl is a little more widely watched than the World Series.

Cheers.
