super bowl meditation

football worship as season culminates in super bowl orgasm of anticipation but not sure exactly why the adrenaline flows so much and the testosterone and the money flows and the chips, salsa and beer flows and is this what they call ritual? romance? obsession? or just pastime and passing time with something we can all talk about either Peyton Manning of Denver bronco-tude and the mile high and the Seattle super seabirds from the green and blue northwest.

obama prefers his son not play football and who can blame him and who's afraid of virginia woolf's kid getting a concussion or knee injury but you can out-source the physical contact and just watch on television where the grass is so green when it's not turf made by man and the lines are so white did Pepsi really invent half-time of course not but who are we to question their prerogative because they have enough money to buy history, reality, legend and legerdemain

but the allstate net catches the points after touchdown and they might even ban the point after kick 'cause it's so automatic and so what can allstate do maybe claim the football itself... the golden egg carried by 11 brave heroes while ersatz virgins cheer on the sideline that from philosopher jean houston not me but got a kick out of it as she sees joseph campbell paradigm in the football nexus

but how come the QB has become so important the source of all football power all Heisman trophy winners now quarterbacks does this reflect the power of brain power in today's world where muscle and industrial power and day labor means nothing, nada, nought compared to the computational algorithm of the mighty mind of the programmer football a big chess game and bobby fischer in pads has to be tall and strong-armed as well as brainy.... who knows?
