After the Super Bowl, the winning quarterback was interviewed by a reporter who asked him how
he felt. This is what he said: “Well, you work hard all year and you train every day. Of course you
hope for something like this, but you know that it’s just a dream, and then you win lots of games,
but only because you have great teammates, and you’re really happy. But you aren’t prepared for
a day like this. You wake up and you know that this is the most important day of your life and you
think that you have a chance to win, but you can’t be too sure. So you pray. And you play your best
and hope that you win. And when you win, it’s the most wonderful thing you’ve ever felt in your life,
and when you’re asked point-blank how you feel, you completely whitewash the whole thing and
speak in the passive voice.”
