Kinda late but still...
As a relatively impartial observer when it came to this year's Super Bowl, I have but a few things to say.
A. Troy Polamalu is awesome, and nothing can diminish his awesomeness. Here, have video evidence. Plus he's cute (at least, I think so. But maybe I've just been spending too much time at the gym...'cause how can you not admire the athleticism?) (ok, I need to stop with the links. But you get the point.)
B. I don't feel like looking up the stats here (because...um...I'm lazy) but I kinda thought Ben Roethlisberger played like crap the first half of the game. And, of course, the moment I said this he threw like 7 perfect passes in a row and a TD, etc. I mean, I don't hate him or anything (though the fact that everyone calls him Big Ben makes me associate him with a clock...but whatever). But clearly I shouldn't say stuff like that if I AM rooting against someone, because they seem to be able to hear me.
C. Aww, sad Cardinals. Poor Ben Patrick! And Larry Fitzgerald! They all seem so nice and scrappy (although I hate that word) and underdog-ish...it made me feel kind of guilty for sorta-rooting for the Steelers. But my love of Troy Polamalu trumps all, footballwise.
D. THIS. Look, I know the Cardinals' defense isn't exactly high quality, but I'm just gonna enjoy how unbelievably fabulous James Harrison is.
E. I heart this commercial. EPICNESS.
F. This story kind of cracked me up. Willie Parker had never heard of Bruce Springsteen? Hmm. On the other hand, I do think the NFL needs to start branching out when it comes to halftime entertainment (and maybe get someone under 50?) But I'm gonna be non-constructive and annoying and say that I have no idea who they should hire instead. Sorry.
G. Aaand...only a week before pitchers and catchers report!! It has been way too freaking long.
ETA: apparently the links were all screwed up. yeah, i fail at teh computers. they should work now *crosses fingers hopefully*
