Yes, I had the same reaction. What a total ass. Missing births and important family events to watch millionaires clobber each other.
He did not say he missed those things like weddings, and births to be at the Super Bowl, he said he has missed some of those things but had not missed a Super Bowl, not the same thing at all.
... he says about a man that he never once met in his life and knows absolutly nothing about. There are a lot of ways to be a total ass.
These things get into your blood. I have been to every Belmont Stakes since 1966, so longer than there have been Super Bowls. I did also have a 41 year Travers Stakes streak which was probably more important to me, but I broke it two years ago to attend an overseas wedding. It was a very difficult decision for me. (Several years before I skipped driving my son up to Cornell when he moved in as a freshman.)
