I can't figure out why I didn't root for the Bears last night. I actually remember the '85 team, and their glorious Superbowl Shuffle (though after seeing Sweetness and Funky QB, I lost steam and cut out with 2 more minutes to go in the video). I can see in my mind the Fridge rumbling over those red Pats jerseys. And then, of course, there was going to see the Bears train in Plattville, WI. But those fond memories couldn't pull my support to their side. Maybe it was all those years of rooting for the Vikings...which necessitates hating the Bears and Packers. Still, I think it was mostly the fact that I wanted Manning to get his ring.
Regardless, that is not why I post. I was glad to read today that I was not watching the game alone, though I may have been the only one drinking a certain beverage (and while I do enjoy a good brew now and again, it's not what it looks like, folks). Still, I wanted to send my well-wishes and say cheers. I missed you this year.

Was that A&W Cream Soda that you were drinking?!?! You lucky dog... We definitely can't get those here in Amsterdam. Proost (cheers) all the same!
I passed on the A&W Cream Soda this year--something about the way it affected me last. I offered to open a bottle of bubbly (carbonated juice) but Jan wasn't too keen on that. So, I settled for good ol' tap water.
I wasn't committed to one team or the other. I figured the Colts would win it anyway, so I cheered for the Bears to score in the 4th quarter just to make it interesting. I guess seeing the Bears in training didn't make me a die hard fan.
As for the Eric announcement, I add my congratulations!!!
DA
