At least he got to see his beloved Packers win the Super Bowl before he died.
One of the individuals in those commercials basically bragged about missing births and other important family events and his willingness to miss more in his pursuit of his hobby. That individual - I think not the deceased one - came across as a pretty vile excuse for a human being.
Never watched a Super Bowl member still alive at 61.
As a Steeler fan, I can take some pleasure in our loss, that this guy got to watch his team win. My elderly Mother didn’t quite last long enough to get to see her beloved Steelers win on February 1st, 2009, less than three months after she passed away. Watching the games and rooting for the home team brought her a good deal of happiness. I have video of her in the Hospice watching a Steeler game with her terrible towel and other paraphernalia, her arthritic hands barely able to hold onto them, but trying just the same. The Steelers did win the SB that season, but sadly she didn’t make it. She’d have loved that game! :)
Good for this fella and his family. Congratulations to the Packers!
Making the commercial jinxed the whole never missed a superbowl thing. Life’s funny that way.
He’s gonna miss one now.
Then there’s this woman....
A woman had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As she sat down, a man came along and asked her if anyone is sitting in the seat next to her.
“No,” she said, “the seat is empty.”
“This is incredible,” said the man. “Who in their right mind would
have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event
in the world, and not use it?”
Somberly, the woman says, “Well... the seat actually belongs to me. I
was supposed to come here with my husband, but he passed away.
This is the first Super Bowl we have
not been to together since we got married in 1967.”
“Oh I’m sorry to hear that, that’s terrible. But couldn’t you find
someone else - a friend, or relative or even a neighbor to take the seat?”
The woman shakes her head,
“No, they’re all at the funeral.”
RIP.
