Super Bowl Recap


Usually the Super Bowl has a ton of hype, people spend way too much money on commercials, parties, strippers... uh, I mean food, and then the game itself sucks. This year nobody exactly knew what to make of the game, the teams, or the scene but it all worked out ok. The game itself had a hew decent moments but for the most part was pretty sloppy. The Steelers defense is quite good and Arizona's was not terrible so this should be expected. At the end of the day the game could be encapsulated in 2 plays... at the end of the first half Arizona is on the 5 and looks ready to score and tie it up or take the lead. Of course, at this moment Kurt "I Want to Be Like Brett Favre and Turn the Ball Over on My Way to the Hall of Fame" Warner tosses a bad pick to James Harrison who then made an amazing 100 yard return. How did no one tackle this guy who was winded after 5 yards? How do you throw a 5 yard interception into double coverage? How do they make boneless chicken wings? The second play was game winner. Ben Rothegjhgjlsgdaljhgburger made a great throw to Santonio Holmes in the corner of the end zone to negate a Cardinal's comeback and ice the win. Holmes was triple teamed... the catch is that not one of the three guys thought they should get within 7 feet of him. The Card's d-back Rogers-Cromartie sucks. He got absolutely abused last night. I also enjoyed how he gave up on plays after being beaten. The QBs in this game are funny, Big Ben is like an ugly girl w/ a good body, it is pretty terrible until the very end (12 beers deep and it is dark). Warner on the other hand is the girl who looks great in clothes but terrible naked (huge stats but always a couple of crippling plays). I have no first hand experience of any of this mind you... and my wife is like Joe Montana (the whole package, except the nose...and she is a girl). Tons of bad penalties in the game too. I give the game as a whole 1 thumb up, entirely for the fourth quarter.

What did we have for dinner? A very nice and clean tasting Pad Thai. Not as sweet as a restaurant but felt very healthy. We also had some very labor intensive pork dumplings. Great flavor but they got a little messed up in the frying. The bird tag team yielded great flavor, but the presentation was comci comca... that's French, surprised you didn't know! Oh yeah, I also knocked down a few Pabst tall boys!

Commercials? OK. I liked the koala punch but the rest of the commercial was grating. GoDaddy.com? You stay classy! I liked the baby talking shit to his golfing partner, didn't care for the Clydesdale's, thought Conan was funny, Baldwin so so, really liked the 2 second High Life ad where the fat guy just yelled "High Life!". Tough economy.

The Boss @ halftime? I don't care what anybody says... it was great. Springsteen is a great performer and this was the best half time show I have seen... well, the Janet Jackson was pretty good too! OK, that's it for now... I am exhausted, and need a hot tub!
