Super Bowl Recap

Super Bowl Sunday is most certainly one of the best days of the year. It's one of those times where you feel like you're watching the same thing that every other person in America is watching, and the day after it's the only thing people talk about at the office, in school, on the news, and so on. I was a little skeptical of CBS having the super bowl coverage this year, because I'm a fan of FOX's NFL coverage, but CBS did pretty well. The only things that took away from the broadcast a little bit was CBS advertising its own shit constantly, and Phil Simms acting like a dumbass (my favorite comment of his was when he made some obvious observation about the Colts trying to win), and the CBS camera guys had a problem with not cleaning their dang camera lenses off since it was raining so hard. They couldn't have asked for a better game though in my opinion. The first quarter was amazing and it was a relatively close game up until the last 10 or so minutes. At one point my friends and I started up a chant: "Brian Griese! *clap clap clap clap clap* Brian Griese! since Bears QB Rex Grossman was making some really stupid decisions.

Anyhoo, the commericals were pretty great as well; my favorites were the CareerBuilder.com and Coke ads. The halftime show was also very good, Prince rocked the joint. I kinda wanted him to play 1999 but playing Purple Rain in a South Beach rainstorm seemed way more appropriate. I was perplexed by a report I saw on the news this evening that when Prince was riffing on his guitar behind that giant flapping screen, that it was meant to be a giant condom and that part of his "male/female" symbol guitar that curves outward, when silhouetted, looked like a penis!? WTF!? Some people read into this stuff waaaay too much! I'll post the story as soon as I find it. In the meantime:

*One more thing: What the heck was with the Colts fans? Not only were there like none of them there, but they weren't loud, not even when their team won!
