I can has football?

[The Final Negotiator]

Super Bowl XLIII will go down as one of the great slugfests of the NFL. I was thoroughly entertained...  Hats off to the Pittsburgh Steelers; they really earned this one. OK, enough with the football, what was up with the commercials?  I remember the Star Trek/GI Joe/Transformers 2 trailers, and the Polamalu Coke Zero commercial, but the rest of it is sort of a blur now...  OK, I consulted Youtube, and remember that the CareerBuilder, Audi (Transporter), and Coke commercials were also mildly entertaining. Still, I'm sure there were more spots than that...
My personal (past) favorite was two old guys playing a cassette tape while a chimp danced. Then you saw the words: "We just wasted 3 million dollars. What are you doing with your money? E*TRADE..." Good Stuff!

P.S. Yes, I can hear the cheering/honking from my porch...

Indeed I enjoyed the game as well. The Revenge of the Fallen trailer was beyond awesome, I also enjoyed the one commercial where the guy punched the Koala bear. Good times.

I didn't really care who won. The Steelers are cool, normally I guess I would have wanted them, but I always like the underdog. And Arizona was one hell of an underdog, having never done anything of note since 1947.

But it was a pretty bad ass game right at the end there. Not as HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD AWESOME as last year's karmically-powered asskicking, but still way better than Bears-Colts.

What happened?

[Mike]

Oh. Steelers were ahead pretty much the whole game, until halfway into the 4th quarter when the Cards started coming back big, and eventually took a 3-point lead after a holding penalty in Pitt's own end zone gave up a safety.

Then the Steelers came back and retook the lead with 30 seconds left.

Oh man. Well, I guess Cardinal fans are at least happy they even made it to the superbowl.

Oh man. Well, I guess Cardinal fans are at least happy they even made it to the superbowl.

Most sports fans are only happy if their team wins. Otherwise they curse the players and claim that they, themselves, would make a better team owner. Then they spend the next 20 minutes giving you a drunken, slurred speech about what players they would have traded and why. Then I'm like "That's very interesting but I need to... eat a hamburger." I start to walk away, but they follow me while repeating an encyclopedia of statistics that nobody asked them about. I start to run but trip on a rock. Instead of helping me up, they continue by quoting abbreviations I've never heard of and histories dating back through the 1970's. I scream "Good god, man! Why don't you put that brain to good use and become a scientist!" But the fan does not hear my words, he continues to analyze each and every second of a game and how it could have been different when I had not even seen it! Soon afterwards, I die. Several hours after that, the fan says, "Oh my god! I think he's dead!"


It's just one of the Facts of Life.

Allow me to continue this proud tradition.

Wazpy, if the Cardinals had had you on their team, then they would've won. You would've done something like kick the Goodyear blimp through the field goal for one million points, earning the Steelers a 3 mile penalty for not being man enough to stop you.
