Amen. Once I admitted what a loser I was, my self esteem went way up. The lowered expectations finally allowed me to achieve something worthwhile, just by watching the Superbowl. Want not, waste not.

Nope, T-NC. The Superbowl is for losers. Just admit that you are one.

i HATE it when my fellow memebers want to HT or VT on Sunday ! ANY sunday. 5 other days of the week AND 30 or so days in a month ! Mormons are LAME ! Also, it’s the SUPERBOWL !! sheesh, people. gives us all SOMETHING in common to talk to our fellow Americans about. And there are very few of those subjects left. This year’s Superbowl was even more important to the country considering how far New Orleans has come in 5 years. How far the SAINTS have accomplished and how far they’ve risen. From paper bag heads to champions. From the death of thousands and heartbreaking suffering while we watched, to trophies and parades. For people who didn’t know or care this year – you missed so much more than a game.

In church on Sun, I had one HP lament to me that his wife wanted him to go to choir practice and miss 1/2 the game. If I mentioned that to my husband, I’d soon find myself with an ‘ex’ in front of my title (ex wife). Wow– it’s an EVENT!

That said, The Who was OK. No one has yet to come even close to topping Prince.

I swear. I probably heard about it on TV, or on the internet, but I tune out crap that doesn’t interest me.

Aaron B — you really, really, really, really, swear on your mother’s grave didn’t somewhere in the back of your brain know that the Superbowl was yesterday? Do you live in Finland or something?

I agree with jimbob on this one. Out. Of. Touch.

Two comments.

1. There is a family in our ward that is currently taking the discussions, and a few minutes of every PEC is devoted to what is being done to fellowship them. For the past couple of weeks, the missionaries (and the Ward Mission Leader) have related that another family in the ward has had them over to dinner a couple of times. They have not yet been to church, so the plan for yesterday was to have the investigating family come to church, then head straight over to the member family’s home and watch the Superbowl.

The thing is, every time the missionary/WML related the very last part of the plan, they would look around the room with a strange, half-embarrassed smile, as though waiting for someone else in the committee to explain that “That’s just not something we do,” kind of like having Elder’s Quorum meetings at the local strip club. And the awkward pause continued, even after the Bishop said that he would probably be watching the game, even though he is one of those who doesn’t ordinarily follow football. Almost like the elder was shocked that the person called to lead our ward would descend to such depravity.

2. I was not able to watch the game because the director of the Temple Dedication Choir decided to have the first rehearsal yesterday, and we were told that rehearsal attendance was MANDATORY. (She did apologize – somewhat – for having the next rehearsal fall on Valentine’s Day, but I rather doubt that she even knew there was some sort of sporting event yesterday. Or maybe she just didn’t think that people who can sing well ever care about sports.

“but he’s no Keith Moon”

Honestly, who is? To bust out my mad Latin skilz, that guy was sui generis.
