Super Bowl Second Half Showdown!

Posted on February 1, 2009 by admin • 2 Comments

go deep Damn. Now I want fries.

You know, I have never bought something because of a commercial, but I certainly have NOT bought something because of one. Capital One falls in the latter category–I will never use them. By the way, I mute commercials every other time I watch TV, so this is agony for me.

James Harrison is cute, too. The Stillers are a handsome bunch.

Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne is a kicking song.

Annnnd we’re off.

Dang. James Harrison is the youngest of fourteen kids. I guess that’s the color to the story.

Oooh, fumble???? James Harrison recovers the turnover!

Wooooot! It’s gonna be overturned, though.

Ok, the Denny’s commercial with Martin Scorsese was worth half a chuckle.

Damn. Incomplete pass. But, Stillers should get the ball back, anyway, because it’s fourth down.

Oooh Troy’s luscious locks!

Halftime Hero

jamesharrison This man, James Harrison, is the Hero of the First Half. Too soon to say that? Mebbe. I don’t care.

I like Cris Collinsworth, even if he’s missing an H in his name.

I like Tony Dungy, even despite his personal religious beliefs.

Actually, this whole crew is pretty laid-back and easy to tolerate. I would have liked to have Keith on the show, but a grrl can’t have everything.

Can the commercials suck any more than they already do? I actually started muting them last year in the second half. I might have to do the same this year. It’s sad, really, because they used to be so enjoyable.

Ok. Here we go. At least we won’t see any nipple. Please god. Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu, and Mike Tim/Tomlin…yummy.

Yawn. oh, sorry. Woo, it’s Bruce. And the E Street Band. I wish he would do one of his depressing dirges just to bring the crowd down. That would be really funny.

Who wants to bet that the last song will be Born in the USA, even though it’s more a critique of the U.S. than anything else?

Ok, they are good performers. I’ll give them that much.

Hm. Maybe I should go get food now. I don’t want to miss a nipple moment, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Wow. No Born in the USA. I’m glad I didn’t make that bet! On to the second half.

Fire. I like fire.

Oops. More halftime. The Bus! I love the Bus! Ok. Now, the second half. After these messages, of course.

Finally…the Super Bowl

helmet The pre-game hype hangs on longer than W. did in the last four years of his presidency. I didn’t watch any of it (except the interview with Obama), but every time I checked in, there was mucho blathering going on.

Someone god-awful just draaaaaaggged out America the Beautiful. I think it’s Faith Hill, but I quickly changed to a DVD while she was draaaaaagggging out one word.

Jennifer Houston doing a beautiful rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner. Good for her.

Woah, the sideline reporter, Alex something sounds like she’s mixed up her downers and her uppers. Hon, it’s meth in the morning and Valium at night. I hope that helps.

Old farts, war hero, tossing of the coin….and we’re off.

Ben scores! Oh no, it’s being challenged. Overturned. First gut-check of the night. Go for it! Oh, come on. Wuss. Mike, Bill would have decided to go for it. Oh well. Points on the board for Pittsburgh. That’s the important part, I guess.

Gah. First two commercials–suck.

TROY POLAMALU! Sigh. Live shop of Polamalu and his gorgeous hair.

Ok. I chuckled at Conan. That was a cute commercial.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

superbowl_trophy_crop If you are a true football fan, today is THE day to be glued to your couch, chips in one hand and an adult beverage in the other. For some people, this ritual includes hanging out with like-minded souls, which I actually don’t like because it’s hard to watch a game in a mixed crowd. By mixed, I mean people who want to watch the game and people who only want to watch the commercials.

By the way, when did the Super Bowl commercials begin to suck so much? I remember as recently as five years ago, there were some laugh-out-loud funny ones. Now, they are mostly sophomoric and cringe-worthy.

Anyway, back to The Game. I have been a huge sports fan for fifteen years. I don’t know how it started or why, but after college, I became obsessed. I am a homer all the way, so it was the Twins, the Timberwolves, and the Vikings for me. I have grudgingly come to accept the Wild, but I still hate Dallas for stealing our team and changing their name. Although, it’s better they DID change the name because the Dallas North Stars would have made as much sense as, well, the LA Lakers.
