Well, Seattle is celebrating it's big victory today in American football and its first trip to the Super Bowl. Many around the world know that the US feels its version of football is the more entertaining -- whether it's true or not is irrelevant (to Americans). More of them watch their brand of football than any other sporting event by far. No, it's not baseball, America's so-called "past time" (and another sport that most countries do not play).As for Seattle, after 30 years of having a football team, they finally get to the game of games. And the city is going crazy over it. It was the most watched television show in Seattle's history (78%). The fictional SeaHawk bird will be flying high. We play the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was Christine's favorite team growing up (yup, she's a football fan, even though it's a bit unusual for women).
It'll be a long two-week wait for the February 5 game in Detroit. I'll get to try and watch it from India where I'll be on a ministry trip.
