superbowl thoughts...

The Who? Really? Did queen Latifah and Carrie Underwood both turn down the gig after singing to open the game? Does anyone under the age of 50 still even remember them? They might as well bring out the Monkees for a post game performance.

Ok e-trade…talking babies are a little creepy.

Enough with the roman numerals already… they got Arabic numbers on the back of the jerseys and on the scoreboard…I think it’s safe to assume that we can use the same format for the logo? All other sporting events are using the new and improved numbering system (i.e. 2009 World Series, 2009 NBA finals, etc.).

Dude NBC…even Jay Leno’s doing ads for Letterman…time to get back on the ball.

An onside kick to start off the III-rd quarter? That was ballsy…and I have to say…incredibly stupid. Yes, they got the ball and won the game so now the coach will be praised for pulling off a “brilliant” play. But seriously, why risk it when you’re only down IV pts with XXX minutes of playing time left? That’s about par with Belichick’s gamble on IVth and II.

Here’s a fact that may only interest me…since Superbowl 39 (that’s right, I’m a rebel) the team wearing the white jersey is 6-0.

And finally, congrats to the city and people of New Orleans (who I’m sure are pretty much gonna be celebrating till june). This is definitely a feel good, come from behind story (after all their season started off XIII-0…who would’ve thought?). But seriously, I’m excited for the city. First Superbowl ever and they bring home the Lombardi Trophy. That’s definitely notable. Congrats :D

Now that football season’s officially over, I can sit back and watch Villanova win its first national championship since MCMLXXXV.
