superbowl xlii

i've always been a fake soccer fan through a project in early grad school days. today i also certified myself as a fake football fan -- watched the superbowl xlii from beginning to end, and came to understand it quite a bit, towards the end.

american football is an accessible sport, by complete novelties and fake fans. someone said 10-yards-at-a-time is the way to american dream, quite true! and this takes a lot of strength, skills, courage, wisdom, teamwork ... and can be appreciated at any depth. being a fake fan, it suffices to enjoy the drama and the story of a winning underdog -- football is also round, at least in some directions! and btw, ny giants won, why not?

needless to say, this was my first game, with a joyful small crowd at jimeng and huiming's apartment ... bookmarked with this blog post :)
