Damn it John Elway
nah actually im a fan.. ive always liked john elway.. i just watched on tv, the recap of super bowl 33. the only one the falcons were ever in and it takes me back to that time.. see, that whole month (january 1999) i spent at San Salvodor Island in the Bahamas for school and i was completely away from everything. it was cool. but different for sure. you definately had that feeling of isolation because you were stuck on an island for three weeks, which is just about the length necessary before it almost drives you crazy.. i remember watching the NFC championship game at the Riding Rock Inn and hanging out with some chick who was the only other person in the whole group who cared about football. It was the one day we had off really for the whole trip. We did stuff everyday like snorkeling on the beach, checking out local places and what not.. ahh.. it was nice. and also the best possible way to ever earn a college lab credit.
super bowl sunday was the day we left the island, it killed me that i could not watch the game live. we flew back through Miami on our way North and this was where the Super Bowl was. I remember leaving Miami and looking down and seeing Joe Robbie Stadium where the end zones were painted Broncos and Falcons. i tried so hard to not hear what the score was during the game. I slept some on the plane and listened to music but every so often the pilot would say the score to everyone on the plane. there werent that many on the plane either. ahh.. but anyway. the flight is over and i still dont know the final score. my parents were cool to not tell me. even though they knew. i get home and im an idiot cause ive been on an island for three months without the internet and email and such.. so im stupid and go on aol or some shit and saw john elways picture right there. i knew they had won but didnt want to admit to myself. i went upstairs with the tape and watched the game.. it was a blowout. the falcons were coming back in the end but john elway spoiled it. i wasnt mad at him though, i was happy to see him end his career that way even if the falcons had to be the team to lose it to him. it was great just to be in the super bowl.
so when the falcons come back next year. and mike vick is healthy and we have improvements all the way around the roster, it will be great. i cant wait to root for my team in the super bowl soon. ¶ 2/01/2004 04:31:00 PM
