The Super Bowl N'at

First off, I would like to say that nothing can top a Pittsburgh Steeler win... except for when the Patriots lose. God I love it. I love seeing them be a bunch of sore losers walking off the field, somehow still looking arrogant along the way. I love watching their post game press conferences because I can actually script what they are going to say. It's like they practice it or something. Bill Belichick literally says the same things after every single loss. And I quote... " We are disappointed. They made more plays. We need to execute better, practice better, and play better in the game on both ends. We are disappointed." I'm serious, he says that every single time. It's like hes socially awkward or something. It hurts to watch it.

But I digress... It was an alright game. I was at work so I didn't get to see every single play of it, but what I saw was mediocre at best. The first three quarters were like a week nine game or something. And it was what I though it was going to be, an indoor football game. It was dink and dunk passes over and over again with a run thrown in every now and then. There was a combined 81 passes in the game for God sake... welcome to the new NFL I guess. But when the fourth quarter came along, the drama meeter was turned to 11. The fourth quarter was on par with the Steeler-Cardinals Super Bowl and saved it from being one of the more boring games I have ever seen.

When the Giants finally won the game and the Lombardi trophy was being given to the Giants owner, I had to sit through what I felt was one of the most awkward two minutes of my life. Colts hall of famer Raymond Berry was the one given the task to tote the trophy up to the ceremonial stand where the MVP, Eli manning, and the owners of the team stood to get interviewed after their spectacular win. Little did Mr.Berry or I know that he was basically going to be raped by the entire New York football Giants franchise. Watch this video and forgive the idiot who posted it. He cant's spell worth a damn. "Gongrats Giants"? Really?

Did you see that? The man got groped. His balls were cupped, his hair was pulled, his nipples were twisted,and kissed lovingly. He was even pet by a cackling black man around the :58 mark. Awkward...

Other than the game, there are three other things that people look forward to usually. Those things include the immaculate Puppy Bowl, the sometimes outrageous halftime show, and the recently disappointing commercials. Well I am here to tell you that the that none of those things were bad this year... sort of. The Puppy Bowl is just plain adorable. I cant take the smile off my face while watching it even though it is completely irrelevant to anything.  I know some people that actually watch that crap all day long.

The halftime show has sucked the past couple of years, including last years show where the Black Eyed Peas showed up and shit the bed. But this years show by Madonna was actually not bad. Besides the fact that those assholes LMFAO showed up and ruined everything for me and that it looked like Madonna lip-synced everything, it was actually very entertaining. I found it especially entertaining because of this...

And last but not least comes the commercials. There were actually a couple of very good commercials unlike the past couple of Super Bowls. The adds that got me were the Ferris Beuller commercial, the Metlife commercial with He-Man and Voltron, and the Clint Eastwood commercial. The Clint Eastwood Chrystler commercial was one of the best I have seen in years. I don't know what it was about it but it pulled at my heart strings. It is 2 good minutes of pure emotion and I actually was a little touched by it. Here is the commercial.

I would actually think he would have said something more like this.

All in all it was an alright Super Bowl. Although I did not get to watch it with friends and family for the first time in my 25 years of life, I still enjoyed watching the game. Another NFL season in the books and what an NFL year it was. All I know is the Steelers are due for another Super bowl run. How bout it?
