Now Playing: The Tubes "She's a Beauty"

Let me start off by saying that I am happy that the Patriots won their third Super Bowl in the past 4 years. I route for these guys every year, and although I'm not an avid watcher, they get my vote.

However, I also love the Philadelphia Eagles. I spent so much time in South Jersey as a kid and teen that I couldn't NOT like the Eagles, Phillies, 76'ers and the Flyers.

My Mom and I considered yesterday's game a win-win situation for us. If the Patriots won, we would be ecstatically happy, but if the Eagles won, we'd also be ecstatically happy. I think this was the first time I've ever watched a sporting event, routing for both team (no hate mail now, please). I was genuinely happy to see good sportsmanship on the field between both teams, and I'm a real stickler for that. If I happen to see someone acting in an unprofessional manner during sporting events, I'm never happy about that. And to see both the Patriots players and the Eagles players helping each other up after plays were made, well, that just was fantastic.

So my hats off to both teams. I never would have thought that I'd see both teams play against each other in my lifetime, and it was a treat. Now I just have to wait and see if I can ever see a Red Sox/Phillies World Series. ;-)
