As the Super Bowl approaches this Sunday, I ask “What does this Super Bowl mean to me?”

The Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers; neither team is one that I’ve followed. No favorites. No hats.

But I look forward to the Super Bowl as a break. It should be a welcome distraction from the fracas in Washington and from the helicopter tragedy in California that took Kobe Bryant and others and is rocking the sports world and beyond.

The incessant commentary of the Super Bowl and the much-hyped commercials should be a relief. (I hope to avoid the political commercials which, I think, should be banned from the Super Bowl.)

We’ve been invited to a Super Bowl party and, perhaps, we’ll take them up on the invitation.

And there’s always the office pool - not that I can ever figure it out - but something I can look forward to for Monday morning.

What does this Super Bowl mean to you?
