A Fool's Journey?

Well, we are 1/2way through the two-weeks of Super Bowl hype. About two days in ESPN had a poll asking if we preferred a one or two week gap between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. I believe about 60% were going for one week. I, however, voted for two weeks. Immediately afterward I felt like vomiting and seriously considered putting a fork through my eye.

What was I thinking?

Seriously--

Being pro-Super Bowl hype is like being pro-nausea. Like rooting for the Yankees. Like mixing smack with your methadone treatment--

Where was I?

Some things deserve mockery. Like Super Bowl halftime shows. And like the pre-Super Bowl hype....These days the mockery is part of the hype--you know, the ironic, smug, above-it all part? Think of it as a tonic, or a chaser, to ease the consumption of even more hype. Necessary to delay vomiting....hopefully.
