The Super Bowl and Sports-is it all about mine is Bigger/Better than yours?The ratings are in-Super Bowl XLVI was the most watched television program in history with an estimated viewing audience of 111 million. Two-thirds of the country watched at least six minutes of the game. The NFL is clearly the #1, the Biggest, spectator sport in the United States.New York is celebrating the Giants [as only New York can] for their 2nd Super Bowl victory in five years over Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. New England is mourning, again, another Championship game loss to it's rival city New York.Is New York City a Better city than Boston or New England?Eli Manning now has two Super Bowl rings to his brother Peyton's one. Is Eli better than Peyton?Why such thoughts and questions?The Super Bowl and Sports-is it all about mine is bigger/better than yours?What makes the NFL, especially all things Super Bowl, and sports in general so riveting?This has obviously grasped my thought process; I've been asking-WHY? After a bit of reflection, here goes:Truth is most every guy and gal i know, (yes i’m in the group as well) has grown up being aware that size and numbers are difference makers in life. For instance:- One of the first conscious thoughts i can remember is wondering if my Dad is bigger or stronger or makes more money than your Dad.- The next important number one learns is the difference height makes. Ever take a class picture? Have ya heard of the Napoleon Complex or short man syndrome? - In the teenage years, for guys and gals the size of one's chest, and for guys especially, biceps [gun show] become important. Gym class or P.E. was either looked forward to or despised. Sure one could be a National Honor Society academic, but if ya can't throw, catch, outrun, out lift -well the term nerd says it all. Who's the most popular in high school and received the rewards for such popularity? The football, basketball, baseball players, the athletes. -Women. The expression, " Women love the long ball..." Nuff said!One experience in my teenage years, indelibly etched this in my mind. i learned shall we say, the importance of one's SHOE SIZE at least for males. . i was working out at the gym with the football players after school one afternoon- 16' inch biceps- the goal. The locker room after the work-out, opened my eyes, once again - indelibly. I better understood why athletes just seemed so much more confident. SHOE SIZE matters in this world to many people. SHOE SIZE are numbers every guy (and most gals) are aware of-sometimes painfully so. The 16' inch biceps took a while , size 11 shoes came first. By the way, what size shoe do most professional athletes wear? hmm... what size shoes do you think Eli Manning or Osi Umenyiora wear? Probably 13 or 14 and above...oh well.
