Random Monday Morning Thoughts - Super Bowl Edition

  • All this was written as I watched the game (that at least makes a little sense out of this.)
  • Faith Hill is still hot.
  • Having the crew of the Miracle On The Hudson coming out onto the field before the game was a nice touch. Video.
  • 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.
  • There were a lot of movies advertised. And, if I may sound nerdy, the Star Trek one looks pretty good.
  • 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?
  • You can't help but like Kurt Warner. And is wife has definitely upgraded her looks.
  • I still like those "G" commercials.
  • 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? "Dear lord, let us cover those speedy receivers better."
  • The Teleflora "talking flowers" commercial was funny. Although the line of "no one wants to see you naked" was a little shocking.
  • The 100 yard interception return by Pittsburgh was crazy. Who would have ever thought that crazy concept of dropping a krillion pound defensive lineman into pass coverage would work. (And I couldn't tell if he made it in or not.) Video.
  • As I write this at halftime, I predict that Harrison (the guy that returned the interception) becomes the rare defensive Super Bowl MVP.
  • The best part of the Bruce Springsteen halftime show was when he tossed his guitar to a roadie at the beginning of the performance and it was almost dropped. I've never understood why he's considered so great.
  • 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.
  • If John Madden says "No one does it better than [insert any player's name who just made a good play]" I might off myself.
  • Commercial: PepSuber was kinda funny.
  • You had to be watching closely, but Al Michaels yelling "Huge!" (when Pittsburgh's Harrison was flagged for street mugging an Arizona player near the end of the game) wasn't huge at all. And then he tried to cover himself by saying, "Huge in a sense as to when the flag was thrown."
  • 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. (Obscure reference: The first time I ever saw a player do that was a UT tight end on a huge catch in the first Big 12 Championship game against Nebraska.)
  • Commercial: Man, those GoDaddy.com commercials are shocking.
  • What a game!! (As I just saw Holmes take a pass down to the 6.)
  • What a game #2!! (As I just saw Holmes pull in a tip toe touchdown pass.)
  • With seconds left in the game, I'd still make Harrison the MVP. That was a 14 point swing.
  • I really dislike NFL Commissioner Roger Goodall. And he makes a shocking $11 million a year.

Love it when a player or team invoked God as the reason they won. By that, the other team must have lost because of God. Instead of playing the game, why don't we just put a football at the 50 yard line and have the entire stadium pray that God will move the ball one yard toward the end zone of the team he has decided as victorious. I hate to miss out on all those fun commercials.

The Patriots beat the Cardinals so badly because the Patriots needed to win to get a shot at the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Cardinals had already clinched and had nothing really to play for. They just rolled over.


If the hapless NY Jets won their final game, the Pats would have been in the playoffs.

Long Hair or Short Hair, Brenda Warner is a "Hot Lady".

Bruce Springstein sucks and always has. I've never cared for anyone who sings as if they're attempting to "pinch a loaf". Thanks for agreeing.

Patriots got what they deserved.

Larry Fitzgerald is not only "Money", the guy's a Beast. He also must be a major "team player", he told the Cardnials front office he would restructure his contract to allow the team to keep Boron and one other guy. I'm betting money T.O. wouldn't do that.

And player's do watch the "Big Screen" when running down field. They say it's like having a rear-view mirror.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, the girl in the Steelers bathing suit is a perfect example of why I'm not a Steelers fan. She sums it up! Good Lord!

Santonio Holmes used the football as a prop during his post-TD celebration. Under NFL rules, that should have been a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff. I hate the rule, but it's a penalty and it wasn't called and it could have effected the game.

Regarding the hyphenated last name, some people will add the hyphenated name to honor a stepfather. In the days of my youth some football players I remember simply changed their last name to the stepfathers name. Some from Dallas were Harvey Martin(Banks), John Jefferson (Washington), Danny Davis (Solomon).

Anyone see the really hot chick with the giant boobs during the half time show? It was a real quick shot of her.She had a red tank top on. I would say about three to 4 seconds worth a good look. But GOOD GRIEF she was hot. Surprised you did not catch that BG

What the heck is that white substance in her naval...ewwwww!

The hyphenated name is probably his mom's maiden name and his dad's last name. If a woman decides to hyphenate her name after marrying, the children may also have the hyphenated name.

Hey The Prawn - The word is "affected" not "effected".

He might not be all that great a singer, in fact his songs all sort of sound alike, but the atmosphere and energy at a Springsteen concert is great.

10:10, it's been my experience that the only women who have tramp stamps are, well, tramps.

Case in point, my ex husband's girlfriend.

Faith Hill should sing before every sports event (national anthem or otherwise), provided they televise her singing. She does it right and looks great doing it. During pregame, they showed her singing the national anthem from a previous SB and it was perfect. I didn't care for the way Jennifer Hudson did it. I think all singers should stick to the traditional phrasing and timing. It doesn't need to be, and shouldn't be, tricked up or rearranged

Now you take that material as if it was your own.....

Someone please tell us why black players have more than one last name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
