Superbowl Highlights

I've already seen some Superbowl highlights. I turned on ESPN and the Patriots Cheerleaders were being featured. Sweet timing!

All this hype over a football game cracks me up. The pre-game stuff started early this morning and will keep going until the game starts @ 6:00 P.M. Can you say 'commercialism' boys and girls? It's not like it's an earth shattering, uber-important event, like the World Series. It's football. A mediocre diversion at best.

I do appreciate it being a winter time sport though. It helps when there is nothing to do outside except freeze to death.

The big story, is T.O. playing? Well, he should. How many times do you get a chance to win a championship, in any sport? He may permanently damage his ankle and not be able to play again, but why not? Go for it T.O.!

They keep talking about Emmit Smith retiring. Big deal. He was done a couple years ago. He just hung around long enough to get the rushing yards record. I don't blame him. He was great in his prime. I think it sucks when a great player sticks around too long. Good luck Emmit.

The owner of the Patriots just said his only mandate about personnel was he didn't want thugs or hoodlems. If they needed that type of person to win, he didn't want to be in the business. That's how all the teams should be. Players like Randy Moss would be out of football quick if they weren't allowed to be a-holes and get away with it. Good plan guys.

Why does Michael Irvin get so riled up every time he gets the chance to talk? Chill out dude!

Well, I'll be watching the game tonight. I do have a vested interest in it. Not that I'm a Patriots fan, which I have been since I was a kid, but that I could win some big bucks in the football pool. That's what I'm really looking forward to! Win or lose, I just want some pool money, damn it! (How's that for priorities? C'mon, it ain't Baseball!)

I watch the Superbowl every year. For the commercials.

Back in my single days, I watched the Superbowl every year, too. Actually, that's not entirely true. I went to Superbowl parties every year. For the beer.

Is there a pattern here? *g*
