A Favorite Quote from Super Bowl 2009

one of the commentators on NBC said

“…. a lot of things in football is when you do them.”

The commentator’s name is not Yogi Berra, or Bear.

But, just for a minute there…

Sincerely,
your humble horribly sports-challenged reporter,
dr.e

    Read all your comments, dr. e.

    Seems like you enjoyed the game. Don't worry if you don't understand everything, as long as you have fun and eat lots of snacks and drink lots of beverages--adult or not-so-adult--while watching.

    I have been watching this game for over 20 years now, and I still don't understand everything. My wife, who is English, even less.

    Hi Dra. E.!, im noelia from buenos aires, argentina, and i found this page looking for information about you. My english is not very good, because i dont speak it for a lot of time. So, you´ll see i write part in inglish and part in spanish. Yesterday in argentina plays boca- river football (is a clasic and a lot of peple watch it), i dont understand so mucho the ruls, but there are things that makes me laugh, for ex. when my boyfriend talk with the tv and shout at the players, like they were hearing! and thats very funny!!.
    I love your books and they help me a lot to find mi walk (camino). I good like to know if you do conferences or you teach, because im studying psicology and im interested in the way you help people. I hope you understand my spanglish.
    Ahora en castellano!: Aunque no te conozco te aprecio muchisimo porque tus letras son realmente inspiradoras y transmiten una energia increible. Uno encuentra en tus textos respuestas a muchas cosas y produce un cambio en la vida de quien acepta que los relatos penetren en su camino. Yo escribo poesia y relatos breves y me encantaria si algun dia pudieras leerlos, para mi seria un honor. Gracias, Noelia.-

    50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 ............and there they found her all in a lump, party dress stained, bra exposed like the shoulder pads of a fullback after a tough tackle. She means business, standing at the goal line, eyes crossed, torso twisted, legs akimbo, wolf mask cast aside, stocking legs protruding from all the wrong places, nerve impulses still firing, and the voices all mixed up and cursing-- screaming Go! Go! Go! Where there was space in the tangled lump, light shone through and every once in a while it would get up and run before falling again as if tackled. There appears to be a popcorn maker spouting kernals and in the shadows the bets are made by Limbaugh types with McCain backing. The microphone wires are attached to nothing but sprout current from her bruised ribs like the fizzlers of independence day.
