When it pertains to sports, political leaders love nothing more than making cute public bank on large video games. The general public, on the other hand, couldn’t be extra disinterested.
I can think about one personal exemption: After the 2000 season, my precious New york city Giants lost one of the most uneven Super Bowls ever before played to the Baltimore Ravens.

Like any type of good Giants follower, I detest the Cowboys with the enthusiasm of a thousand burning suns. I hate the star-shaped logo design, I loathe the pitiful “America’s Group” prayer, I hate the bandwagon followers who have never ever even captured a connecting trip in Dallas-Fort Well worth, I loathe Jerry Jones, I loathe Jimmy Johnson’s perma-fixed hair, I also hate the primarily un-loatheable Cowboy tale (and also united state Naval Academy graduate) Roger Staubach.
