What's So Super About The Super Bowl?

I live in Arlington, Texas. Contrary to continued references to Dallas, the Super Bowl this year is in Arlington. It is a big deal. It is purported to be the biggest party in the world. I can't believe that is what makes it super. I know it is supposed to bring in over 100,000 people into Cowboy Stadium which means Jerry thinks it is super. Millions of dollars will be made by a select few and only a select few will be able to personally experience it. So, what really makes it super?

I don't think it has to do with dollars or attendance. I think it has to do with excellence. Two teams on different sides of the ball who have earned the right to establish themselves as the best football team in the world. What makes the game super is what it represents. It represents a collision of super. The best competing against the best. We love it.

I don't particularly love what it is doing to Arlington. I do, however, love excellence showcased. This year I was fortunate enough to be in New York City for the U.S. Open. The best tennis players in the world displaying skills very few will ever achieve. The Texas Rangers brought the World Series to Arlington. It has been a great twelve months for Arlington.

So, when you are enjoy the game and all of the food that goes with it, look for the real show. It will be seen in the little things done to perfection. It will be in the coaching pulling it all together. It will be seen in risks taken and routes run. You will see it in the Packers and in the Steelers. As you watch them, think about your own pursuits in life. Think about the things you do and how you do them. Then go out and change your game. Establish yourself as someone people love to see in action. You are in your own Super Bowl. Go for it ! Do well my friends.
