Moment of Zen: Football

By Joe

Tomorrow is the Super Bowl. Originally, I had not planned to watch the game, not even for the commercials because I really do not enjoy professional sports, especially the NFL. However, my friend Susan, who I turned into an unlikely football fanatic, convinced me to at least watch for the commercials. However, with that being said, I got a look at the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Let’s just say, Brock Purdy is awfully damn “purty” (nonstandard spelling of pretty used to represent dialect speech).

Purdy has a pretty great story. He played football at Iowa State University before he was selected by the 49ers with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, becoming that year’s Mr. Irrelevant. He was the 49ers third string quarterback before the starting and backup quarterbacks were injured last season. This season, he was made the starting quarterback and has taken the 49ers to the Super Bowl. He went from Mr. Irrelevant in 2022 to Mr. Relevant in 2024.

Purdy’s smile is so cute.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.

    Regarding Mr. Purdy, he sure is Purty to look at lol

    Being in Oklahoma now, and Oklahoma had 2 great quarterbacks hit the drafts the same year, one being Mahomes and the other being Baker Mayfield.
    So I was kind of hoping to see them face off this year but guess I’ll have to suffer and watch Purdy (woe is me lol)

    Anyways, I’m really not a big football fan, but I do watch the game for the commercials:)
    And I was so glad to see that my favorite Budweiser won top commercial again this year (was on the commercial special Thursday night)
    Oh, I’m so happy to see the E-Trade talking babies are back again:) I love those commercials too lol

    Anyways gooooo commercials 🙂

    Have a great Superbowl Sunday!!
