Maybe it is because the Bears stopped playing last year (some would argue in October or November, but I meant in December), but none of the games especially moved me this weekend. The Golden Globes seem to have more highlights and are more interesting. Except for the bad hairdos and the smugness, of course.
When you’re married to a die-hard, Jersey-born Jets fan, and when your future brother-in-law is a lifelong Vikings fan (and your sister happens to be living with him in Minneapolis), the playoffs are a bit more compelling.
That being said, football doesn’t ever excite me all that much. I’m much more interested in counting down the days until spring training and Opening Day.
