Wow, I can't believe you just said that.

I'm going to ignore your comment about what you were thinking when you were driving to the interview since I sincerely doubt you were the one actually doing the driving.  No, what really got me was your little comment about how the Super Bowl was going to take people's minds off of their problems and that they'd start thinking about them when it was over.  Really?  Could you have said that in a less condescending way?  Or, maybe you just shouldn't have said it at all?  The way that you said it just had the tone of, "The little people, the commoners and peasants, finding great delight in their gladiatorial games will turn off their brains and forget the troubles that keep them awake at night in their hovels for the three or four hours of athletic exhibition."  I, for one, can't just turn my brain off and not think, and I was certainly thinking about my troubles at different points during the game.  It's going to take a lot more than some football to do that.
