The Big Bowl

Dallas been counting down the days until Super Bowl 2011. Each morning as a I drink my coffee, the news shares some piece of information about the sacred event. I admitted to my husband that I didn't know why it was such a huge deal. Yes, it is pretty cool that I live in the city (well, technically the game is in Arlington) who is hosting celebrities, football players, and fans from around the nation. However, I fail to realize the extent of the importance this game has on my life.

Police and security services will be increasing due to the fact that prostitution and drug rings will be out in full force. Thanks Super Bowl! Oh, so crime will rise and us natives will have to resort to staying home a few days prior to the game to prevent ourselves from going crazy with the idiots on the road and tourists crowding our best hot-spots.

You are probably thinking, "Wow, she is a poor hostess. Not to mention a bit of a pessimist." I will not deny it. But think about this: Our "precious" Dallas Cowboys had an embarrassing start to their 2010 season and failed to fully recover. It would mean something different if Dallas had had a shot to play in the Super Bowl. It would be a party for us, too. Instead, we have to sit back and allow the fans of another football club take over our city as we try not to let ourselves go crazy.
