Super Bowl XLI

As promised, my views on the Super Bowl of 2007. First off, no Super Bowl in recent years has captured my interest like the 32nd and 33rd Super Bowl. I may live near Indianapolis for school, but they are still not my team.

My stance with the game was this: I don't care about either team that much, therefore whoever I rooted for was not based on personal preference. The next choice is based on what is good for the game. Both coaches were African Americans, a first for the NFL, but this doesn't help choose a team. So, I looked at who had won the Super Bowl in the past and who hadn't in the longest time. Now, this takes a history lesson on the NFL: the Colts have been in Indy for 20 years, and they moved from Baltimore. Well, the Colts have never won in Indy, but won in Baltimore in '71. The Bears, on the other hand, won in '86. So, I decided to root for the Colts. But more than anything I wanted a good game- darn rain ruined that.

But they brought home a Super Bowl win to Indy and the Colts team repeated what they did with Baltimore down in Miami in '71. And the first words out of the owner's mouth after he was presented the Lombardi trophy were a pleasant surprise to me. He said that their thoughts and prayers were with those involved with the deadly tornadoes in Florida earlier this month. And then other phrases which were refreshing to hear. While there was a lot of "shining glory" they gave "it all to God." My favorite had to be Coach Dungy, and his pride in "doing it the Lord's way." What a testament to the truth of God's word and the person of Christ!
