I didn't watch much football growing up. Couldn't care less. My addiction started in college when the Niners went on a run and won their first in 1981. We watched all the games. I've been watching them ever since. It didn't hurt they won five championships in a short span to cement my fandom.
In most cases, I am not very superstitious. But the football jinx looms large for me despite my attempts to resist it. I don't wear the gear on game day although I have the apparel for other days of the week. I was gifted a T-shirt commemorating the NFC Championship five years ago and I swear it cost us the Super Bowl. You don't get gifts for getting to 4-4 in a bout.
I was messed up Sunday when things were going right. For the first time in a long time, I slept in all the way until 6. The dogs were well behaved. It was all very strange and eerie. I was looking for that thing that would jinx us into a loss. I thought for sure it would have been the jacket from Badlands Hunter. I don't watch the pre-show prognostications. If all the pundits pick your team to win, you are doomed to lose. As an example, almost all the pundits picked the Ravens to crush the Chiefs. We saw how that turned out.
Fortunately, the Badlands jacket did not hurt me. Probably, because that guy lived and no one hurt the jacket. This madness will only get worse over the next two weeks.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
