Bad News, Good News

So the Steelers won the Superbowl. I don't like the Steelers. Since they play in the same division as the Ravens, I just can't like them. I don't hate them -- they're not the Yankees. Just don't like them.

However. . .

Every year I play in one or a couple of block pools. I last won around 1986 -- true -- In 1986, I won 3 of 4 quarters in my dad's company pool. Nothing since. Usually, I'm good for 5's and 2's -- almost impossible numbers. I got a couple of those, BUT. . .there was that promising 7 and 3. The final? Steelers 27, Cardinals 23. WINNER!

So what will I do with my windfall? I'm going to the National Half Marathon! Not quite Disney, but hey, it's another event close to home. Once upon a time, it would be a big fancy fatty expensive dinner. How times have changed. Still, I don't like the Steelers.

L'Chaim!

Nice win Jeff...I had no financial interest in the game, so my disappointment is muted...I don't hate the Steelers or really love the Cardinals...I am glad the game was exciting...too many penalties, but that is the way most games are now...

I need to get some rest and get back into my intense workouts tomorrow...

Oh Jeff. You know how it hurts me when you bash my boys in pinstripes.

*Sheds a single tear*

Congrats on the win. I think its great you are going to do the national 1/2 with your winnings.

Honestly for me at least I didn't care who lost or won the game- I watch for the comercials- which by the way there were several good ones.

not the way I wanted to see it go, but since you won some money - I'm happy.
