It is weird. I found it very strange to get up and do my normal routine going to work after winning the Super Bowl. I mean, the SB ends at like 10 p.m. or whatever and you go to bed at 1 am or whatever all amped up but eventually the alarm rings, and you just get up and go about your life.
I freely admit I'm massively spoiled. The number of championships Boston teams have compiled the last 14 years is ridiculous. And I have gained some perspective on it all. I'm still an ardent fan but I've definitely learned that whether any of those teams win championships or not doesn't put money in my bank account, or strengthen my relationship with my wife, or make me a better Dad. But yeah, those memories don't really fade and should be cherished. You never know if/when you will ever get another championship.

I like your perspective. When I was a younger fella, sports seemed pretty life and death. Now, it's different. I celebrated Sunday night, ordered a bunch of championship gear, and am working a half day so I can watch the parade. Afterwards, life goes on. But, I do think it is huge for the city and the morale of people and will forever be a source of pride. Plus getting to see guys we have "known" since they were kids, win it all, is special. And you are 100% correct when you say this won't make me a better father. But it sure was fun buying Royals championship stuff with my sons! |

Absolutely. I enjoyed the championship as much for my son that really likes football as for myself. He was born in '04 so he doesn't have any memory of the first championships BB/Brady won. This time he was almost 11 so he definitely knew what was going on.

Watching the rest of the NFL after the WS will be like chasing a nice 25yr old scotch with a Natty Light.

Can't remember a time in my life that I cared so little about the NFL in general. Thanks a whole lot to the Chuefs. |
