I tried

I tried.
I thought, you're just being boring and repetitive.  And you sound like a fangirl.  And I criticized myself in several other ways.
And I think the result was that I stopped writing anything at all.  That was kind of dumb.
If my brain is totally obsessed with 2 people and a football team, so be it.
And today, of all days, I cannot not write about two of my obsessions, the Patriots and Chris Colfer.

Patriots-Vikings - Randy still loves the Pats

That's the New England Patriots.  I think I wrote something about them earlier.  I am a fan.  I've sort of admired them for a long time, even pre-Bellichick era, but felt that being an all-out fan would be either hero-worship (Bledsoe or Brady) or just liking the best.  Now I live here, I can truly adopt them as my team.  Since returning from Iceland I don't really have one.  Guess what, they don't watch American football in Iceland, I didn't keep up with the game.

So I am very happy now to have a team I can genuinely root for.  I always liked football for the team aspect of it.  More than any other sport I know it requires teamwork.  Yes, the attention goes to the quarterback, the star receiver, the back who gets 1000yds a season.  But, if you watch at all its not just that every person plays an important role on the team.  Every person on the offense plays an integral role in every play on offense.

There's no war between pitcher and hitter and if pitcher wins no one else on his team matters for that bit.  If pitcher loses, than one, maybe two other members of his team matter as they field the ball.
There's no possibility for the individual dominance of a single player as there is in basketball.  I think basketball is quite fun to watch when they play as a team.  But when one guy runs up the court, yells for the ball and then shoots, thats not interesting.
Let's see.. hockey... okay, I admit I haven't watched much hockey in my life, but despite surface, equipment and size of playing space it seems similar to soccer (football) in having lines.  A line plays together, and probably improves as they play together.  But, that's only three people.  Anyway, I'll stop going on about sports that I know nothing about.  I'm generally averse to other people talking about things they know jack about so I should try to avoid hypocrisy and stop myself from committing similar crimes.

I found myself writing a rather long e-mail about today's game to someone who probably cares a little, but really not all that much.  Definitely not as much as I was going to write.

So guess what?

Yup, I decided to write here instead!
