Saturday, January 31, 2015-Super Bowl Weekend! This is arguably the most anticipated weekend of the year. On Sunday, February 1 at about 6:50PM est. the big game is scheduled to take place. For many, the Super Bowl is why they play the game. The teams that are participating deserve so much credit. From the attendants in the locker rooms, the bus drivers, the physical trainers, the parents as well as immediate and distant family members of the players, coaches, organizational staff, owners to the players. They all should share in the pride and dignity of this remarkable achievement. For this is the essence of “Teamwork” and that is what it is all about. Working together expecting to reach the same common goal.

Even if you are not a football fan, you may become one this weekend. The 2015 version of the Australian Open Tennis Tournament also takes place, in Melbourne, Australia. In my opinion, some of the very best tennis ever played took place there over the past week. The event concludes this weekend and in the women championship, the best two players in the world will compete for another Grand Slam victory. Number One versus Number Two. Serena Williams versus Maria Sharapova, what a match up! The defending Super Bowl Champion, Seattle Seahawks versus the New England Patriots.

This promises to be a super weekend for a number of reasons. Everyone competing is special. Gladiators in there own rights and blessed with the opportunity to do so. I dare not diminish the accomplishments of these men and women by speaking of a Deflate Gate or anything else created by man for whatever the reason. I don’t believe that what did or did not take place with those footballs have any place in the accomplishments of the participants of Super Bowl Forty-Nine. I believe that it was down right disrespectful to those who worked so hard for a game that many of us enjoy watching today. So as we watch and enjoy this Super Bowl Weekend remember it for the reasons that make it special, because we will never see it again. Thank God for all who participate. Be sure to share with me your thoughts.
