On Friday, I was apparently not interested in football nor the Super Bowl. However, being a mom of 3 New York boys and a wife of a football fan, it was hard NOT to get into the spirit of the game.
We haven't had a TV in our house since last summer, so my husband and a bunch of dads gathered around a ginormous flat screen TV to cheer on the Giants. While my boys and I stayed home. Pretty soon, the boys began to ask at regular intervals, "Who's winning, mom?" "Are the Giants going to win?" So we tuned into the radio.
How 1940's is that? It was fun to huddle together around my son, Henry's radio and listen to the plays. The amazing lesson in this particular game, is that the New York Giants were not supposed to win. The New England Patriots had an undefeated record and were the favored team.
Clearly the underdogs, the Giants with the help of sheer grit and determination, did what the sports casters said would never happen...they WON! A historical victory and a life lesson for my kids...if you TRULY put your mind to something, great things can happen.
And a non-football fan, like myself could actually enjoy the game!
