Blogging now during the overtime session of the big show and I have a lot to say about everything going on. To start, I feel like the commercials have faded over the years, becoming worse and worse, but part of the issue is the environment I am in–lots of hater consumers here who don’t like most of what comes out. That energy only intensifies in situations like the playoffs and especially the big show. It is a problem for me as I am impacted by my environment greatly.
Still, the energy of the big game is infectious.
Here we are in overtime, and we started with a near pick. Things are sliding backwards for the Niners, and that seems to be the magic of the KC Chiefs. They always find a way. They found a way two weeks ago against a much better team. They are doing the same right now. Folks might turn on Purdy if the Niners use this one. Still, everyone becomes an expert when the game is on the line for the team they are invested in. It’s nuts and fun and still toxic and still engaging.
Sports are an amazing fountain of energy. People get hugely excited about the game and we invest so much in the outcome. This is tribalism at its peak.
