It’s the day after the Super Bowl and some people are disappointed, others are upset and others are wondering what everyone is getting so worked up about.

I popped some popcorn last night and let the kids watch the first half of the game.  My six-year-old didn’t even want to entertain the thought that the Colts might not win.  I’m pretty sure the child bleeds blue.  At any rate, we enjoyed our little mini-Super Bowl party. 

I liked watching the commercials.  While I didn’t see all of them, I really enjoyed the Snickers ad with Betty White.  I adore her!  That ad made me laugh out loud (or LOL as the cool kids say).  The promo with Letterman, Leno and Oprah has a lot of people talking too.  I appreciated the fact that Letterman stayed true to his roots and sported a Colts jersey.

Well, the Colts didn’t win but I’m still very proud of the team.  They had a good season.  My hat goes off to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.  If the Colts couldn’t be the champs, I’m glad the trophy is going to New Orleans.    While I’ve never met Drew, he seems like a classy guy who is doing a lot to help New Orleans.  He has a beautiful little family and it’s his turn to shine.

The Colts are shining stars too and fans will continue to show their love and support.  My kids really want to go to a Colts game next season, so don’t be surprised if you see us at a game.  My oldest son has a blue Manning jersey, my six-year-old son has a white Manning jersey and my daughter has a pink Colts cheerleader outfit.  I hate to brag, but they’re too cute to miss.

The kids could miss out on school tomorrow.  Be sure to keep it tuned to RTV-6.  Crystal says we could get another 4 to 6 inches of snow tomorrow.  It’ll start arriving overnight, which could make the morning drive a real mess.  Now that the Super Bowl is over, can we just skip the rest of winter and get right to Spring?   Take care everyone and stay safe!

It’s almost here!

The groundhog saw its shadow, Mom loved her birthday present, and yes, the Super Bowl is finally upon us…

Today on GMI, we shared some of our favorite tailgate recipes- and everything was delicious! One of our viewers asked this morning where you can find the recipes- and we’ve got all of them on our GMI Facebook page (and no, you don’t need to be a Facebook member to access that part of the page)

Grace made a delicious Greek dip, Tom made chili dogs, Julie brought in a great cheese dip, I made our family’s black bean salsa, and Crystal made desert- Colts Blue-berry cheesecake! On top of all that, Buca di Beppo stopped by with a whole Italian meal for Crystal to celebrate National Weatherperson’s Day!

And she deserves it- no doubt it’s going to be a busy day for the weather department. The winter weather will be making its way toward us this afternoon, which could prove tricky for all us Colts fans headed to South Florida- it’s going to be a blast- and it goes without saying the weather will definitely be better in Miami!

We’ll probably take in some of the game at home Sunday night, maybe head to one of the many Colts parties going on… we’d love to hear your predictions for the game as well. I do think it’s going to be close… let’s go with Colts 23, Saints 17.

Here’s to a “Super” weekend- GO COLTS!
