Thoughts on Super Bowl XLI
• I was pulling for the Colts because I figured it would be nice to see Peyton finally get that monkey off his back. The monkey being, that he can’t win the big game. And congrats to Manning and the Colts for winning, but I thought maybe he’d display a little more emotion along the lines of Phil Mickelson winning the Masters. Peyton did look happy, not “I’ve finally won the big game” happy, but more like “Hey, I found $20 happy”.
• Did anyone else think it a bit wrong that the rest of the team was relegated to stand several feet below the platform upon which Dungy, Manning and the owner presided over them.
• It was good to see that Peyton Manning won that Cadillac so now he won’t have to rely on public transportation anymore. (That was sarcasm children!) Why not make a substantial donation in the player’s name to a charitable organization instead?
• The weather: How about that rain!? I thought it was awesome. The NFL has a bias against holding the Super Bowl in “northern” cities because, I dunno, the players might fweez they wittle tootsies. Only a few cities that host NFL teams will ever get an opportunity to host the Super Bowl and I think it’s wrong. Serves ’em right that it was rainy and miserable in Miami last night. For the record the next three Super Bowls will be held in: Glendale Arizona, Tampa Florida, and Miami Florida (again).
• Think we’ll see Rex Grossman in one of those “Life comes at you fast” commercials next year? Grossman! Fries!
• Speaking of commercials: I will never again be able to eat a Snickers without thinking of two men kissing. This is not likely to make me want to purchase Snickers bars. Other than that, um… the beard comb-over was funny and uh Robert Goulet I guess. Oh and I’m one of tens of people that actually recognized Kevin Rose in that Go Daddy commercial.
• Halftime show: Featured Prince and was wardrobe malfunction free. In honor of a nipple-less halftime show and lackluster commercials, I give you the following:
what about the blockbuster commercial with the mouse? that was pretty good eh?
I didn’t really go for that one, although the more I see “Caaaarnay Asada” the more I like that one.
I found $20!!
