BEAUTIFUL !!!

Yesterday's defeat of the new england patsies was beautiful to me. Do I harbor bad feelings for the 2002 Super Bowl loss to my beloved Rams. Oh yeah.
It did my mind good to see brady caught in the light as Bronco linemen and linebackers pressured him. When he spun around after one play to identify what player provided the pressure, I knew good things were going to happen.
When their unsmiling, trash mouth coach, bellycheck, cussed out referees and didn't get his way, it again did my mind good. In the post mortem news conference, it was easy for me to enjoy his serious countenance.
When vent-a-teary missed a 34-yarder in a key point in the game, it did my mind good, although I did reflect and question why he couldn't have hit the same shot in New Orleans four years ago. I didn't even budge, intellectually, when I saw the dispirited kicker sitting alone looking like he needed a friend. Well, maybe I budged a little when I thought he looked like Mike Woodfall, a friend of the family.
And as I finish this entry, I notice I wrote "it did my mind good," and "intellectually". Actually, that's not right. I knew all along that I was going to differentiate between my mind and my heart. If you feel bitter, it's not about your heart. Unless you have a heart that needs changing. It doesn't feel beautiful that they lost. Oh, maybe in my gut. Not in my heart. So maybe I'll learn something from this blog. And move on.
