Super Bowl - Steelers vs. Packers

[Popeye_Card]

I was only half paying attention during the pre-game, but did they really run out of stories to talk about with the two teams so they wasted 26 minutes reading the Declaration of Independence? Couldn't they have shown footage of the latest swimsuit issue shoot to remind us of why we're Americans?

I thought it was a good game to watch. I watched all of it. Saw no commercials. And you can shoot me before I ever watch a halftime show.

Christina is awful at the National Anthem. Never ask her to do it again. Even the times that she doesn't mess up the words she is awful. Just sing the damn song, not all that stupid crap she does at the end of every line.

The Dorito commercial with the guy licking fingers is the only one that I actually LOL'd at. Darth Vader one was cute.

The game was fine I guess. Glad that Green Bay won. I won $125 playing squares at work.

Has the Super Bowl jumped the shark? The halftime show was offensively bad. The commercials were lame. The game itself was meh. At least the rapist didn't win I guess.

Commercials, ht show -who cares? Thats time to grab a beer, some grub, and take a leak.

The game was pretty entertaining IMO and played at a high level. SB is one of the few games where we're not flipping back and forth to other games, so the faults are amplified.

Frankly, SB is on a pretty good run with the games themselves the last several years. Up until the STL Rams first SB game- good SB games were few and far between unless you were a fan of the winning team. (though I did enjoy some of them that were blowouts for artistic value-i.e. Bill Walsh 49ers were incredible)

This is true.

7 of the last 12 games have had a final score with 7 points or less deciding the victor. In the 33 super bowls prior it only happened 4 times.

Do you think that's just purely a coincidence that the games are more competitive now or is it because of more parity in the NFL that there are fewer teams heads and shoulders above the rest of the league like in the past when in the 49ers and Cowboys hey days they could just walk through the playoffs without too much trouble.

And Brett Favre and the majority of Packers fans were furious! "Get Brett some weapons on offense. Get us some help on Defense." There was a Website specifically designed for the purpose of getting Ted Thompson fired.
