My Superbowl experience

I sit here with a stupid nervous edge a few days before the big game between the Packers & Steelers. Nervous about whether the Pack will win. Kind of silly I think because my life really won't drastically change whether it's a win or a loss. But I was at the last Superbowl the Packers were in - the one in San Diego where they lost to Denver. It was a horrible feeling. You go to the game as a working member of the media and I had no problem with that. I was trained not to cheer in the press box for 16 years (take a hint Bears media). I owned very little Packers gear because I couldn't wear it. As a result, I still have very little to this day. If any member of the hometown media tells you they don't care who wins the game they're full of crap. They may not care because they say they aren't a fan, but they care at least because it's so much more pleasant covering a winning Superbowl locker room than a losing one. It was the pits having to go down and interview Mike Holmgren and Brett Favre and the rest after losing what many thought should have been their second championship in a row after beating New England the year before. I heard someone say this week winning the big game is the best win you'll ever have and and losing it is the worst loss you'll ever have. I think that's pretty true. Perhaps that's why I feel nervous as the game approaches. I remember the horrible feeling when they lost last time. Again, my life didn't change. Hopefully the Packers win Sunday, but if they don't, at least this time I can walk away from the TV, pet the cat and not have that sick feeling talking to Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers and the rest.

If the Packers do win, there will be a celebration at Lambeau Field on Tuesday at 4pm, scheduled to end at 5pm. We have WWE Smackdown here at the Resch starting at 6:30. There will be a section of the Lambeau lot that will be saved for WWE parking. We will also have all lots at our complex saved for event parking. Next Tuesday I'm also scheduled to escort WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio around to various radio stations. Should be interesting because the guy wears a mask!!! I'll let you know how that goes next week!
