So Close!

I don’t watch football.

I don’t even particularly like football, but every year, I bet on one sporting event all year. You guessed it, it’s the Superbowl. This year, I actually knew more about the Superbowl than most years. For example, I knew it was the 42nd one. I knew who was playing and I knew WHERE they were playing.

Everyone was excited. The audience was divided in half. Half the people I talked to wanted that perfect season to happen, the other half wanted the Giants to win, which in my opinion would make a pretty good movie.  It has Rocky written all over it. The team that goes undefeated and then barely get beat in the last 5 minutes of the game. Ok, so it’s the exact opposite of Rocky, but is still has real potential.

And you all saw it here first. I got dibs!

Anyway, my work always has a Superbowl Pool every year and every year I put down $20. The short version of the story was that if the Giants missed their final conversion kick at the final 2 minute mark, I would pretty much been guaranteed  a $250 profit. And I don’t know you saw the kick but it was pretty close to not being in bounds. Instead, I won nothing because my final score was off by 1. There’s really no feeling like the one when you lose a bet. But, the game was still pretty enjoyable and I got some free drinks and food so it all worked out .

Hope you all enjoyed the game!
