Superbowl Monday

As a guy, I think I am automatically a football fan and Superbowl viewer. Many people associate me with baseball, but I probably enjoy football slightly more. If I would've been bigger, meaner, and faster, I may have chosen to pursue football instead of baseball. Last night's final game of the season was definitely one of the best Superbowl's that I've been around to see. Both teams put on a show, and the last minutes of the game were all one could want(unless you are a Cardinals fan).

The Superbowl is such an extravagant event, and just about the ultimate evening of entertainment. However, what we sometimes forget, or maybe never realize, is how hard these guys work behind the scenes. They don't just show up on Sunday's and make highlight real plays. They don't just wake up in the morning and be Superbowl ready. Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin talked in the post game interviews about how hard his team worked, and the sacrifices they all were willing to make to get to that point. I LOVE IT! Nothing great comes without hard work, and if you love something, you need to work your hardest to become the best you can at it.

If you look around on the internet, you can also find stuff about James Harrison's offseason workouts. This is a guy that got cut four times by NFL teams, and he definitely wasn't one of your can't miss prospects. This year he was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year, now has a Superbowl championship, and has the longest TD in Superbowl history. In case you missed it, Harrison scored on a 100 yard interception return to end the first half. The word is that he works out twice a day during the offseason, and if he doesn't think he went hard enough in one of the first two...he'll throw in a third workout that night! That is commitment! That is passion! That is the kind of effort and work ethic that make champions in all areas of life.
