Wouldn\u2019t you know it? The quarterback the Vikings let go last year (after what I considered a pretty good season) is going to the Super Bowl this year. Sam Darnold took the Seattle Seahawks all the way to the biggest game of the season. I thought he deserved another chance with the Vikings, but the team hierarchy had different thoughts, hoping J.J. McCarthy was the answer the team needed for a successful season. Maybe they\u2019ll be right, but it might take a few seasons to find out \u2013 if he can avoid injuries.<\/p>\n
As usual, we\u2019ll be watching the big game on TV \u2013 probably with some of our new friends here in Florida, but it sure would be nice if the game started earlier in the day. It will start at 6:30 in our time zone, which means it won\u2019t end until near midnight \u2013 I don\u2019t need to be at work the next day, but it\u2019s interesting how much harder it is to stay awake that late as the years pile on.<\/p>\n
I checked on tickets to the game on the Monday after the playoffs ended, and it looked like the only tickets available were resale tickets, and the cost for two tickets was anywhere between $7,000 and $40,000. I wasn\u2019t interested in going to the game, but I was curious about the cost. Personally, I can\u2019t imagine spending that much money to see a football game.<\/p>\n
From what I can tell, I doubt I\u2019ll find the halftime show worth watching, but maybe some people are familiar with the planned entertainment. I\u2019ll still look forward to the commercials \u2013 there have been years when those commercials were some of the funniest you\u2019ll see all year long. I can\u2019t believe how much companies are willing to spend on a 30-second commercial. Information I found said the cost is between $7 and $8 million for the commercial time, then they need to add the cost to make the commercial. They must work, but the cost means the company has to sell a lot of what they sell to cover it.<\/p>\n

Something sad for people who are proud to come from Minnesota is the activity happening there that puts the state in the national news. Not only the scandals, but the ICE presence. Where I live currently, there are people from all over the United States living here as well, and without exception, when conversation leads to where we lived before living in Florida, people always mention the mess the state finds itself in currently.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure it may take a long time before the messes are cleaned up, and the state starts to recover, and we can all be proud to call Minnesota \u201chome\u201d.<\/p>\n
