When you watch the game on TV at home, the commercials show
you people that are way more attractive and having way more fun than you can
imagine.
But it is a little like that then when you sit around a
screen at your favorite bar on game day, the people are more beautiful in occasional
moments than you might have imagined - faces animated, laughing, people making smartass
remarks at one another, arguing about nothing much really - empty boxes stacked
in a corner, rough edges and real friendship.
The game is in their eyes - the way they look at each other, not paying
close attention to the screen when the home team is up by two touchdowns
anyway, watching what matters when it matters.
And then suddenly the crowd on the screen and the handful of
friends drinking beer together goes wild. What a game!
