Random Thoughts: Super Bowl Edition


--Having the crew of the Miracle On The Hudson coming out onto the field before the game was a nice touch.
--There was a Doritos ad with the punch line of a guy being hit in the crotch with a crystal ball. Idiocracy moves closer. Edit: The reviews on Monday morning rate it as the top commercial.
--John Madden = Beating.
--Matt Millen was so out of place. Ughh.
--There were a lot of movies advertised. And, not one looked great.
--No team has a right to be more frustrated than the New England Patriots. They go 11-5 for the season and beat the Arizona Cardinals 47-7 yet they didn't make the playoffs. Do we need the BCS in the NFL?
--Denny's on Tuesday = me.
--You can't help but like Kurt Warner. And is wife has definitely upgraded her looks.
--Faith Hill is still hot.
--Craziest name from the game: Dominique Reshard Rodgers-Cromartie. And how does a guy end up with a hyphenated name?
--Weirdest moment. With 2:46 left in the second quarter, were the defensive backs of the Steelers huddled in prayer on the sideline? Huh?
--The Teleflora "talking flowers" commercial was funny. Although the line of "no one wants to see you naked" was a little shocking.
--Big Ben fits right in in the blue collar city of Pittsburgh. What a performance, just turn your hat around for once.
--The 100 yard interception return by Pittsburgh (Harrison) was crazy. Who would have ever thought that crazy concept of dropping a 500 pound defensive lineman into pass coverage would work.
--Although, in my mind, Harrison should have been not only kicked out of the game but suspended for a game next year because of this. I get it's football and your hyped for the 'big game' but you cant put elbow the guy in the back while he is down.
--The best part of the Bruce Springsteen halftime show (besides the above video) was when he decided to sling his guitar around his body about 10 times near the end.
--Commercial: Jack of Jack In The Box got hit by a bus? My fake kids would be crying right now.
--Commercial: The Ed McMahon gold commercial was funny but he looked like he was 10 minutes from death.
--I lost count of the number of times John Madden said "No one does it better than [insert any player's name who just made a good play]"
--Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald is money.
--It's cool how Larry Fitzgerald looked up on the big screen to see how close his chasers were on his touchdown catch in the 4th.
--What a catch by Holmes to pull in a tip toe touchdown pass.
--I really like NFL Commissioner Roger Goodall. He has brought some accountability back to the NFL. But did you know he makes a shocking $11 million a year?
--The Super Bowl is too much like the Academy Awards or Oscars...they even have a red carpet! Just play the game!
--I won money. I'll be calling you Deano.
