Super Sunday - Recap

Going in this was going to be a no lose situation for me.

If the Bears win, I'm happy for the home-team, my neighbors and friends will be happy, people around here were all geeked up, in spite of the recent zero degree weather we've been having.

If the Colts win, the phrase "It couldn't happen to a nicer guy" almost doesn't do it justice.

For Tony Dungy to win the Super Bowl, as one of the most well repected coaches in all of sports, and more importantly, the classiest and most dignified men in sports, you had to root for him to get his just due this time around. It puts to rest the phrase, "nice guys finish last" and may be a model for coaches personality and behavior in the future, both on and off the field. Maybe we can dream a little, but I'm sure old habits will die hard.

The best part of the game was the halftime show, featuring Prince. One of the best guitarists in history, Prince did not let the crowd down. I thought he belted it right out of the park. It was awesome to see "Purple Rain" played with purple back lighting in a driving rainstorm. How can it get any better? If I didn't know better, I'd say God wanted to jam with Prince. They could have delayed the game a little longer IMO and let Prince really get down some with one of his signature songs.

PRINCE IS *&^%$#@ AWESOME. There had to be cigarette lighters going off in living rooms all over the country. HAHA.

The second half of the game was almost anti-climactic. The Super Bowl commericals certainly were. That sound you may have heard in the background while you were watching the game, was a giant flushing down the toilet of all the advertisement dollars that went to waste producing some of that drivel. Most of them had to be recycled product, since I'm sure I've seen a lot of them before. Must be one of them there "paradigm shifts" in the ad industry. Oh well, who cares, really? I'm just mad that I held it in for some of that, could have busted a bladder or something. Pisses me off, no pun intended. Maybe this TIVO thing is here to stay after all.

Congrats to the Colts. Maybe next year, the right Manning will win the big one. I hope Eli doesn't go a day without hearing, "Why can't you be more like Peyton?" He'll either man-up and get better as a QB or go psycho or something and flame out. Either way the Giants can get serious and find a decent QB. Again to dream.....

The best thing about the game really is we are now one day closer to hearing the magic words, Pitchers and Catchers Report in x # of days......I need something like that to get through these @#$%^&* below zero Chicago days, either that or the SI Swimsuit issue. ;)~

Hell, who needs Punxsutawney Phil?
