I accidentally saw some of the superbowl and it’s aftermath. It’s something I’ve never seen before as I’ve never actually watched the superbowl or any of its pre and post hysteria. I know this is foolish of me but I don’t find over-drugged, over-large men giving each other concussions entertaining. The friend watching the game at my house also watched what happened after the game ended when some sort of trophy is transferred to the new winners. I looked up from what I was doing to see a man carrying a large silver trophy down a row of clearly crazed adorers who reached out to touch it with an awe and reverence I’ve never even seen accorded a relic of the true cross being processed through a crowd of true believers. It was one of the most amazing spectacles I’ve ever witnessed. Grown men reaching out to touch this piece of metal as it is carried through the crowd high over the bearer’s head. The person carrying the trophy could not have felt more reverence if he was holding the holy grail over his head… or maybe to that crowd, this was the holy grail. Does god know he’s been ousted and replaced with this trophy?
