hooray for the seahawks, again!

The last time that I recall the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl was 2014.

Like this time, I shared that experience with my youngest brother.

Like this time, we weren't actually together for the game.

I'd been invited, all right, to come to their game-watching party, but I had to excuse myself because the weather was again in the 40's.

No worries!

As I told them when I called the first time, watching TV remotely 'with' Christina or with the ex or my stepmom had been a thing for me for several years.

This time, I'd be 'with Tony and Laura' as we all enjoyed Super Bowl LX!

No long-winded textversations though - phone calls were better! 

See that score in the third quarter?

Just over five minutes of play left, and the New England Patriots have zip.

Seattle has 12 points, but that's not two touchdowns... it's four field goals.

As I told Tony and Laura, that's been a  game of smash, smash, smash!

Certainly wasn't a good time to be a quarterback!

That all changed in the 4th quarter.

Barner caught a pass for a Seahawks touchdown... and Hollins did the same for the Patriots just moments later!

No more scoring by either team for seven minutes.

Then the Seattle kicker came out for another 3-point field goal - good!

Both teams were really scrambling then to try to scare up some more points. 

And then, justthatfast, it happened!

During the sack, the ball popped into the air and was nabbed by Nwosu, who promptly carried it off for a touchdown!!!

How very exciting for the Seahawks!!!

But the next bit of excitement came for the Patriots.

The pass looked like it was going to be incomplete.

That is, until Stevenson managed to scoop it up at the last possible microsecond and get it in for a touchdown... holy cow!!!

Wow, what a rush of points in that fourth quarter!!!

I actually watched the entire game this time, too, instead of just tuning in for the half-time show and last two quarters.

After all, a football game takes four hours to run 60 minutes of play.

Maybe someone needs to Banana Ball that sport!

But please don't get rid of the Super Bowl 'mercials.

My very favorite was the Budweiser one with the friendship of the young colt and the fuzzy, ugly, gray baby bird.

I'd already seen it in the TV show last week, so I was watching for it.

I was watching, camera in hand, to get that magical money shot...

of the moment when the Clydesdale looks like a Pegasus...

and then the American bald eagle rises above its head...

and we realize it's the two very different friends, all grown up.

That made me cry this time, just as it had before.

Not that I'm going to go buy Budweiser... which I cannot, due to the A-fib... but I sure do appreciate their marketing department.

That commercial will make me stop and watch every time.
