Super Bowl

I know GKHL, there is always some horrible play/call that turns the game. It's funny how instant replay and challenges still haven't changed that...boobs will be boobs. CRB:)
 
Who edited out the viagra logo on the bottom of the screen? Heard they paid $3 million for the spot to air...

Funny; read about it; wanted to see what all the hoopla was about. That sounds/looks like a pissed off person getting even with someone (who treated him like a real dick). This may be 2009 expressionistic media art, and have to be moved to another thread...
 
That is flippin' hilarious!! I heard comcast is sending $10.00 credit vouchers to all exposed to the horrific event. Generous. I wonder how many mad mommies will try to sue?CRB:)
 
Thanks for all the poems and links posted. I like the Purdy, and hope to track down the 'Annettes'. Good stuff all around!
Worth tracking down.

But at times, it's elusive, like your boy, Big Ben of Steel. Yeah, baby.

Hope you're having a great night.

He deserved the Super Bowl MVP; wrong thread, I know, but damn; he's just not as good looking as Joe Montana, or Broadway Joe. ; (
 
Winning doesn't require poetic passing, running, or escaping like Houdini. Just getting it done, and a final score (on top), after an amazing drive, led by Ruthlessburger (I like that). Let's say Tom Brady did all the same things, same stats: MVP.

The kid, Santonio Holmes, earned every single bit of that MVP, & won it deservingly. He made every huge reception down the stretch--even the ones that were taken away by penalties. Ben was a distant 2nd in MVP race...3rd if Harrison (w/ the NFL Record 100 INT TD) doesn't make his cheap-shot personal foul the last thing he does in the game. Ben had a good game but the interception opened the door for that crazy finish. No disrespect, but I think they got the MVP right.
 
^Wow! A bit late to the game, eh? But better late than never....

My point was that if Joe Montana or Bret Favre or Tom Brady or any other, "name" QB did what Big Ben did, they would have been ranting and raving about it, and they would have won the MVP title. Not to diminish what Holmes did; great stuff. But BB doesn't get his accolades, because he doesn't play pretty. He just, well, wins. And I guess rings are good enough. And Holmes, much like the guy who caught the pass for the Giant's last year, what's his name(?), will be a footnote in Steeler's history. But a good one. (Like the guy from the Giants...oops, I'm tautologizing. ;))

Well, Brett Favre doesn't play pretty so either...so that's not necessarily true. I think the MVP went to the best player on the field that game. Fitzgerald would've probably won it if the Cards had won the game...not Warner...despite doing nothing in the 1st half...because the QBs turned in adequate performances. If we're to scream bloody murder about overlooked contributions & players, we need look no further than the defensive side of the ball...players that turn in glorious, unrecongized efforts.

QBs got it too easy as it is...(if anything about being a NFL QB is easy...)
 
"Easy" is the wrong word. But Its quite true that the qb is not nearly the best athlete on the field...but his role as the initiator and handler of all events makes him by FAR the most important character (unless you've got Walter Payton in the backfiled). The combination of odd skills that a qb must possess certainly put him up there with the best of al athletes. And for us literary geeks...they are the last remnant of a regular-looking human on the football feild...they have anti-heroic qualities.
 
During the aftermath of the Superbowl some folks got into some Shinanigans(sp?) out here in Pittsburgh PA.
Earlier this week our City Council spent the day debating on a measure that would ban indoor furniture from being used out-of-doors.
I say, if frat-boys want to light a couch on fire, they will be more than willing to pull the fucking thing out of the livingroom.
Yes Gentlemen, let's move on to the next measure. :)

This is the closest thing to a football thread around here recently, so let me just dance a drunken little jig in my underwear at the news of the Bears acquiring QB Jay Cutler from the Broncos. Woo- hooo !!!!:D:D:D
