The first half of Super Bowl XLI is over...and here are some of my takes on the entire deal:
-Six freaking turnovers in the Super Bowl? I know it is raining, but man! Didn't Chicago play in the snow in their last game?
-The MVP of this game heading into the clubhouse is Peyton Manning. He has done nothing spectacular....but neither has anyone else. However, nearly 200 yds, a TD pass and completing 17 of his 26 passes in the rain is pretty decent.
-The rain is great! Great! Sorry if I don't feel sorry for people who paid thousands of dollars for tickets to the game [or especially the ones who got comp tickets]. I can sit at home and watch the game in HDTV splendor and stay quite dry.
-Devin Hester has had a big influence on this game. Not only the Super Bowl first of returning the opening kickoff for a TD....but the fact that the Colts haven't wanted any part of him since.
-I'm still waiting for everyone's proclimation of "Dallas Clark is going to come up huge today" to come true.
-And all of you people out there who had a Colts "6" and a Bears "4" in Super Bowl pools can kiss my butt!!!!
-The commercials have been down a bit. Again, Budweiser easily has the lead. The most uncomfortable one was the Snickers commercial with two mechanics kissing and then ripping their chest fur off. Yikes!
-Why do they even have a halftime show, really? I am a Prince fan, but I have no idea when the last time I actually watched one of these things. They suck and serve no purpose but to extend halftime enough to create a few more advertising slots.
-The Puppy Bowl III has been entertaining. Unlike past years where the pups were a bit docile...they've been going at it pretty good this year. A nice mix of breeds have had some nice battles in the field. Also, nice touch having a referee to seperate them when they get a bit too wild....and throwing penalty flags whenever one of the pups pees on the field. The Kitty Halftime Show was pretty good, too.
-And a big ups to my wife for a great feast today. She made bacon cheddar fries, Southwest Chicken melts [very excellent], breadsticks with cheese, meatballs and there is still some chips and dip left.
