Happy For Tom
After the AFCCG I was beyond thrilled - going back to the Superbowl, yeah!
However over the past week, my excitement is really starting to turn into anxiety. I mean this is nuts I know - but I just can't stop thinking about this game. And it's got me all nerved up. I see the stake's as being huge - I really think a win is neccessary to preserve the legacy of the Brady/Belichick era Patriots. I can't stomach the thought of dropping two Superbowls to the same team with the same QB/Coach combo. It would be a huge blemish - "Yeah TB and BB are some of the best ever, but they could never get past the Giants."
On the other hand, a win here gives us redemption for 07, 6 rings for BB, 4 for TB (with a 4/5 SB win/loss - pretty damn great) and cements each as the greatest of all time in their respective roles.
There's so much on the line...and it's got me going through some major obssessiveness.
I couldn't even sleep last night - I swear I was having a panic attack as the scenarios were running through my mind.
I don't know if I'm over-saturated with media (I listen to sports talk just about the entire way up and back on my two hour commute - that's four hours a day, and then I flip back between Comcast Sports and NFLN once I'm home)...
And I feel pretty good about the game - I really do like our chances. But there's certainly doubt and that is giving me major stress.
I know it's crazy - I gotta relax. Sunday night can't come soon enough, but I know it's either going to be one of the greatest nights ever - I mean pure ecstacy - or utterely devestating - emotionally destroying.
And I have nothing to do today - I mean nothing. That means more time to obsess and check out analysis. I can't help myself - OCD is kicking in hard.
Somebody talk me down here guys...I know I can't be the only one who is going through this. My stomach is knots and I don't know if I can take 3 more days of this!
