Super Bowl XLIX

In less than an hour, the big game starts. I'm not really rooting for anybody, but I guess if I had to choose, I would go with the Seahawks, just because of Deflate-Gate.


Here are the teams I would root for (I know, I like many teams, but it's been a while since the home team was good.):

  1. Tampa Bay Bucs (That's my area team. I hope they draft Mariota.)
  2. Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins (they're tied because those are the other two Florida teams, so I feel obligated to like them, even more so than the Bucs.)
  3. New York Giants
  4. Denver Broncos
  5. Green Bay Packers
  6. Baltimore Ravens
  7. Pittsburgh Steelers
  8. Indianapolis Colts
Usually, at least one of those teams are at the Super Bowl. At least they have been since I started paying attention about 6 years ago.

Why do I feel obligated to like the Bucs and the other Florida teams? Well, if you haven't figured it out, I'm from Florida. And I want to have pride in the place where I grew up, even though I can't wait to leave. So yeah, I actually genuinely like the Bucs, but most of it comes from obligation and wanting the home team to be good so I can be proud. Sounds lame, but it's how I feel.

Here are the signs I made for my family's party tonight:
Be safe tonight!
