Ouch

The Super Bowl might be tomorrow, but the other huge event in sports has got to have been the UFC fight pitting BJ Penn against George St. Pierre. And in thanks to the fact that BJ Penn is from Hawaii (Hilo, Hawaii), it's been hyped for the past few weeks all over the place.

Needless to say, I was pulling for Penn to secure the victory tonight. I sided that way not because of the fact that he is from Hawaii, but more the fact that I think GSP sounded like an overconfident prick.

And in the end, how did it all pan out? GSP won via TKO in the 4th round.

When I read the news (my girlfriend, who predicted GSP winning by TKO in the 3rd) sent me a text to inform me at work. How else could I put this? I was simply CRUSHED. On the flip side, however, I am glad I did not bet any money on the outcome...

Last little sports thought here, man the Super Bowl was an interesting game! Although admittingly, I did only catch bascially the ending of the fourth quarter. Still, there was a good deal of suspense and never before have I bore witness to an actual public crowding around a store's TV section.

It is too bad that the game didn't end up going into overtime. Then again, I suppose that could have been too much for some people to handle. Still, perhaps that would have given the Cardinals the opportunity they needed to turn the tides back to their favor?

Oh well. Maybe they'll get another chance next year or was this year their first and last for a long while?
