Random Thoughts while watching Super Bowl XL.
Were Terrible Towels handed out to everyone in attendence?
Nice velour jacket Mr. Brady... and what kind of shirt was Jerry Rice wearing? 4 - Letters... UGLY!
The National Anthem by Dr. John, Aaron Neville, and Aretha Franklin??? Were they using Mr. Microphones? Made me long for the lip sync'd version from Whitney.
I'm going to Disney World after I order a Pizza from the Hut and drink some Full Throttle... but first I must read some Dr. Seuss before I'm ready for some football!
Glad to see about 50 Seahawks fans were able to get tickets.
For some strange reason I want to go to work tomorrow... beer hunt anyone?
Whopperettes??? I don't know if I should be terrified or turned on? At least they got the Freaky King part right. http://www.whopperettes.com/index.html
The Magic Fridge is back!
I don't get the Hybrid... why would I want to pay $6-8K more for a car that has more electrical systems to go bad, all for 5 more MPG... I don't think so.
That Fedex commercial just had way too much violence for me. I mean the cave man kicked his dino. Karma got him though. Nothing promotes a company better than the death of a caveman.
The Bud Light Bear didn't do it for me. Magic Fridge! Magic Fridge!
So it's Diddy this year huh? Next year will he be Diddy Pepsi?
The offensive pass interference call was weak. Especially since it took the Steeler defender to complain about it before the zebra through the flag. So instead of a 7-0 lead at the end of the 1st quarter, which would have won the 1st quarter office pool for me, instead the score was 3-0.
Must remember I will need Alleve to Live Long and Prosper and I need to throw some Bud Light in the tool box next time I need to clean the gutters. These commercials really can be helpful.
Jackie Chan and Diet Pepsi? I just don't get the Diet Pepsi commercials.
NASCAR has now officially jumped the shark. Cars from Disney? Come on Toyota pound that nail.
The Streaker commercial for Budweiser had me laughing out loud.
Loved seeing the Indy Cars blowing past the Taxi Cabs on the Mobile ESPN commercial. Nice!!!
Glad to see the monkeys back in the CareerBuilder ads and the new Escalade is slick.
Not much excitement with the game... only benefit is its given me time to release all this Bud Select without missing a commercial
Ouch... I felt that Antwaan header from here on the couch.
It's not easy being green. But even Kermit can't sell me a stupid Hybrid. 36 mph... not enough.
The Michelob Amber commercial had me laughing for the second time. "You were open and now you are closed!"
"Are these real Steeler fans or did they just hand out Terrible Towels someplace?" John Madden you are my hero. I typed that exact same observation during the pregame.
So the censors cut 13 Go Daddy ads this year before they let this one through. If you would like to see the rejected ads, go here... www.godaddy.com
Touchdown Ben on a questionable call... Pittsburgh 7 - Seattle 3 at the half.
If you ever want a reason to quite smoking... just look at Keith Richards.
Fast Willie lived up to his name to start the 2nd half for a 75 yd TD. SPEED Kills! 14-3 Pittsburgh
Argh... I'm a pirate! I have a Sharpie retractable and an eye patch.
I love John Madden, but sometime he talks and talks and talks, yet says absolutely nothing, but when he finishes it with "and that's all there is to it." you really think he said something.
Nationwide may have just gotten my business for their Fabio ad. Tremendous.
The H3 Little Monster commercial was just plain wrong.
Ben made a big mistake on that underthrown ball. Instead of a 14 or 18 pt Steeler lead, Seattle had the ball at the Steeler 20. And then Jeremy Stevens answered Porter's questions with a TD and the Steeler lead was down to 3. Me thinks Cowher is wishing he had run the ball and settled for a FG instead of trying to throw for a TD. At 14-10 we have a game again.
Thank you CareerBuilder for making me laugh even louder with the 'I work with Jackasses' addition to the 'I work with Monkeys' campaign.
Everytime I hear Al Michaels, I just want to hear him repeat "Do you believe in Miracles? YES!"
Does the Monday Night Football on ESPN ad remind anyone else of Cisco System's logo?
How can tackling a guy be called a 15 yard penalty for blocking below the waist? Hasselback makes a great tackle at the knees and he gets penalized. Thank you Al... Insult to Injury it was.
Eagle-eyed Machete Enthusiasts Recognize A Little Druid Networking Under The Stairs
Play of the game... Antwaan to Hines for a 43 yd TD! Antwaan for MVP! Steelers 21-10
This year many Monday Night hosts tried to do Card tricks in the stands and they failed miserably every time. But thanks to CGI, Budweiser pulled off the perfect cardtrick in the stands. Very nice.
The MacGyver MasterCard ad was nice, but they should have gone with Chuck Norris to get to today's College student.
Cheers!
Kudos to the folks at 16th and Georgetown for the Indy ad that ran during the 4th quarter. I believe it was just a local ad, but it was still nice to see.
Pittsburgh 21 - Seattle 10
Congratulations to Bill Cowher and the Steelers. An impressive 4 game playoff run. If a team ever deserved the Lombardi Trophy, the Steelers earned it.
Please tell me Holmgren didn't go straight to the locker room without congratulating Cowher. If he did that, and it sure looked like he did since ABC stayed on Cowher at midfield for a good 5 minutes, I know have a new coach to dislike. That is pure bushleague.
WHAT???????? Hines Ward MVP??? Who threw that perfect game changing pass??? Who got the key first down with 4 minutes left in the game that iced it? Antwaan Randle El! That's your MVP. And ARE wouldn't have forgotten to utter the phrase "I'm going to Disneyworld!"

Steelers rule!
I am glad they won.
Growing up in Ohio in the 70's I grew up with the Steelers having had enough of the Cleveland Clowns and the Cincinnati Bungles
here's where the story ends!
Funny, I haven't heard anything about Ben Roethlisberger's Dad complaining about the coverage.
I wonder why that is...
to the winner go all the spoils...
Good eyes on the handshake. I was very disappointed as a Washington state native and huge HAWK fan for the entire history of the franchise.
Holmgren's absense and Cowher's searching for 2-3 minutes made my stomache turn. Unless they prove the game was rigged (terrible officiating, IMHO....you forgot the bad holding penalty that would have given us the ball on the 2. That terrible call led to the key interception) I will have difficulty supporting this team again. I was ashamed to be a Seahawk fan at that moment.
"My cell phone has crime deterrence."
You were too kind on the officiating. That was disgusting. The Seahawks were robbed. But fitting based on the other playoff games.
I loved the Whopperettes!
Great. Now that I've spewed coffee all over my keyboard after reading your comments, mY cOMpuTer is ShorTiNg OUt....zzzz@#$%!$#%^..... ;)
I have to say, I never thought I'd hear the phrase "John Madden, you are my hero" out of anybody's mouth. Counting the times per game that he states the obvious is the second funnest part of the Super Bowl, next to the commercials. (Don't you remember when he proclaimed in the second quarter that the safety's responsibility was to cover the receivers? I know I'm pretty ignorant of football, but most of the audience is NOT from Mars.)
Speaking of the commercials - I thought one of the best ones was the lost ring/naked best man commerical and the "I killed him" (the fly) commercial. I forget which company those were for, but kudos. The magic fridge and beer hunt were great too, as was Kermit. Hummer can kiss my ass with their weird-ass Godzilla-births-a-car storyline. Your time is past, Hummer.
I have to agree a little with Anon that you were too kind on the officiating. I don't think the Seahawks were necessarily robbed (there were definitely a few missed opportunities and boneheaded plays), but it's as if the zebras were worried that the Steelers fans would kill them in cold blood and mop up the mess with those towels if their team lost.
As far as the musical entertainment - wasn't anyone worried that those people under the tongue would suffocate? That was just strange. Furthermore, Mick's belly disturbs me. And memo to Keith - pointing at the crowd because your hand isn't occupied with a cig does NOT count as charisma. Only Mick and the members of KISS can strut on stage. You were just walking and pointing. (Oh, and use the other hand occasionally to PLAY your GUITAR - it might keep your solo in tune.)
Antwaan Randle El! That's your MVP.
Hell yeah!
Ward did make some amazing catches, to be fair. If not for Ward's great hands, Big Ben goes maybe 5 or 6 for 21 passes.
But I saw the ARE play happening and whooped in my wife's ear when Ward caught the pass. That was one of the best passes I've seen ARE throw at the pro level. He just made himself a pile of money.
Anna,
Nothing like a good coffee snort first thing in the morning.
Please congratulate Bob. He has taught you well if you understand that safeties guard wide receivers.
I missed the Lost ring/Naked man commercial... darn dog had to keep going out and she wasn't timing it well.
I still don't understand why the Stones played half time... should have been Kid Rock... kidding!
Mike Holmgren didn't snub Bill Cowher!
There are reports out now, that each coach went to the 25 yard line, where they were supposed to meet for the traditional handshake. But each went to a different line, and in the confusion they never got together in front of a camera. They DID shake hands later in the locker room. No criticism of Holmgren is needed.
AZ
Thanks AZ! I'm so glad to hear that. Holmgren is a class act and it surprised me not to see him shaking Cowher's hand.
Thanks for the clarification AZ. I too like Holmgren and am glad that wasn't an intentional snub.
Now Montana's excuse I don't buy at all.
