Just some thoughts about the past weekend buzzing around in my head. At least the ones that didn’t get stuck in all the cobwebs:
1. Roger “Don Fanucci” Goodell clearly sold the NFL to the devil. While the rest of the country is dealing with all this damn global warming, it’s 50 degrees in New Jersey. Just sayin’. Things that make you go “hmmm…”
2. Every year the Superbowl ads get worse. I chuckled at the Doberhuahua, but that’d be about it. Oh, and I did go “awww” at the Budweiser Clydesdale ad.
3. Every year the Superbowl half-time show gets more incomprehensible. Just more light-effects, fireworks, and musical acts I’ve never heard of. You kids get off my lawn!
4. Cheers to Queen Latifah for her rendition of America the Beautiful. Jeers to Renee Flemming for yodeling all over the National Anthem. It’s not just pop-stars who try to make it all about them.
5. Thank you Terry McAulay and crew for not getting in the way.
6. How ya gonna be 6′ 5″ and not be able to throw over a defensive lineman?? Peyton had more batted balls than an afternoon at Wimbledon! Geez. Even Cooper’s gonna start making fun of him now! It’s time to retire old man. At least you’ve already got a Buick.
7. And while I’m on the topic, how did the Broncos manage to get through the season when they come out that flat and discombobulated in their biggest game? The Bears with Sexy Rexy Grossman at the helm looked better.
8. So do the folks in Seattle celebrate by brewing up double lattes, eating organically sustainable scones, and listening to some alternative grunge? Hippies.
9. For the love of God Spartans! Ditch those hideous “bronze” unis! They just call attention to your lousy effort in the Garden on national TV. In other news, Go Hoosiers!
10. Pitchers and catchers report in 10 days. September can’t come soon enough!
