More like the lame-bowl

Boy am I full. After eating all my words from my "Super Bowl Prediction" I am stuffed to the rafters!

Eli Manning did it. He won the big tamale. He outplayed Brett Favre and Tom Brady back to back on the road. What is happening to the world? I don't have a problem with Eli, except for the fact that he looks like he is going to cry/confused/lost/scared all the time. I just can't believe how bad the Patriots played. I mean, 14 points, in the biggest game of the (near) perfect season? Really?

That game was pretty foul too. I mean 7-3, almost all game? And this was the most watched Super Bowl ever? Ouch. I watched the game in this huge sports bar called the "Star Bar' (in english) which was about 90 degrees inside. It didn't help that my back was right next to the blazing hot heater either. And our lovely waitress wouldn't let us open the window to let in some of the 30 degree air, no matter how much we pleaded. Don't ask me why, but we tried about 3 times, and she was relentless in her quest to keeping that Sports Bar at the temperature of a Vietnam jungle. It also didn't help being that all of us were dead tired after a long day, and that the game started at 12:30 at night. But hey, I'm a true sports fan and I wouldn't miss the big game. Of course I wore my throwback orange crush Broncos shirt, while most of the other people in the place (almost all americans) were wearing Patriots gear. Needless to say, it was a rough night for them, as they got heckled by all the drunken New Yorkers.

All in all, I'm disappointed that the Pats didn't go perfect, but hey, not that big a deal, they have their 3 rings. It'll be fun to look back on "that one time when I watched the Superbowl in some random sports bar in Prague...ahhhh the good ole days."

Isn't it nice when you realize you are living in the "good ole days?"

Will update soon about the church and small group that I found. I'm heading off to Poland this weekend with some friends to see Krakow and Auschwitz, so that should be a good trip. Will put up pictures and info when I return! Now off to sleep, then to take my Czech final, and off to get a real Polish sausage!
