Super Bowl Sunday Recap
So, the big closet reorganize that I had planned for this weekend didn’t actually happen. I was struck down with a sickness, and couple that with the Super Bowl party we had, and not much else got done unfortunately.
But having a few friends over to watch the game, all of us choosing sides and rooting until the final seconds, gave me some time to contemplate a part of marriage I never would have thought would be important.
The importance of picking sports teams carefully.
You may laugh at me, but where I live there’s a certain college team that takes up a large portion of the hearts of most men, and when I moved here I had to quickly adapt to the reality that most fall weekends would be spent either watching football, excitedly talking about watching football, or rehashing every moment of the football game that was just watched.
It’s easy to pick the local team to cheer for, but when it comes to something like the Super Bowl, it can get much more difficult. So when I came down the stairs, proudly sporting my gold and black (YAY STEELERS!), it was to the chagrin of my fiancé, who was rooting quite loudly for the Cardinals.
In some homes this sort of behavior is acceptable, and thankfully ours is one of those houses. With pro football. Again, if it had been college football, and I’d been wearing anything other than Husker red …. Actually, I don’t even want to think about it!
Who knew sports were such a volatile subject? So my question for this Monday: how important a role do sports play in your home and marriage?

Hudson tore it up at the Super Bowl, almost to the point of stealing the show from the football players
