Geek Talk

I thought I should comment on this.

The superbowl was awful. The football itself sucked, the commericals were subpar and to top it all off, we had no pizza at our party. Now this might be because I know the Patriots would have ripped either of these teams a new one, but it seemed like there were a ton of mistakes and shitty calls by the guys with the terrible towels… I mean penalty flags. Now some key points

• A team coming out to “Bittersweet Symphony” isn’t really going to get a team all jacked up. And to quote someone at my party “My this is so much better than ‘Crazy Train’”.(That was sarcasm incase you were wondering)
• Tom Brady! Doing the coin toss! SeaHawks call tails and tails it is. BRADY KICKS THE STEELERS ASS YET AGAIN. EAT IT BIG BEN!!!
• That Tight End Stevens really can’t hold onto a ball huh?
• Why did the nfl show so many steelers holding the throphy? It’s like they knew the Seahawks would choke… or they told the refs to make them look good.

Now thats what was said at the party. Then Last night I came accross this ESPN article that was awesome. Some Clips for you.

6:11 — I love how everyone copies the 2001 Patriots now — both the Steelers and Seahawks teams were introduced all at once. One catch: For the Seahawks, the same song that ended “Cruel Intentions” (”Bittersweet Symphony”) was playing in the background as they came out. Apparently that choice edged out “Everyday Is Like Sunday” by the Smiths and “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt. No way they win now. It’s impossible.

6:22 — Tonight’s celebrity coin tosser: The Football Jesus himself, Tom Brady. See, you can’t have a Super Bowl without Belichick and Brady. Seattle calls tails, the toss is tails and they WILL receive - Brady even owns Pittsburgh in the coin toss.

7:37 — Pittsburgh slaps together a few first downs, followed by Hines Ward catching a pseudo Hail Mary lob pass on third-and-28 to get inside the Seattle 3, followed by two Bettis no-gainers against a stacked Seattle line, and then the dumbest sign of the night so far:

ABSOLUTE
BETTIS
CHAMPIONSHIP

I want you to think about this very carefully: Is there anyone in your life who would take the time to make a sign like that, then carry it into the Super Bowl with them? If the answer is “yes,” then you have some soul searching to do, my friend.
