February 3, 2008. Super Bowl Sunday, and I am surrounded by family and friends. We are all too happy to give in to this distinctly American ritual of excess. We have eaten entirely too much well before kickoff. Late in the seemingly endless pregame coverage, beers in hand, a friend points to the television, asking, “Are you watching this?” I turn my attention to the screen, struggling to hear over the enthusiastic conversation in the room. But I am struck immediately by the images: ink and quill moving across parchment paper, colonial architecture, bald eagles, and, of course, waving American flags. “Thank God I’m taping this,” I thought.
