The Half-Time show - "over the top trampy"


Beyonce's halftime show criticized for risque costumes, content
Excerpt:
The Superdome audience went wild for Beyonce's halftime performance, which included a reunion with her 1990s R&B group, Destiny's Child. But not everyone felt that the show, which included Beyonce in a low-cut leather outfit and some sexual innuendo, was family-friendly enough for the biggest football game of the year.
Comment: It wasn't the worst one ... but I wasn't impressed.

The Tape of the First Super Bowl

Found at Last: A Tape of the First Super Bowl

Excerpt:

Unless they were one of the 61,946 people at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that day, or one of the fans who watched it live on NBC or CBS, there's one thing that all football fans have in common: They've never actually seen the game.

In a bizarre confluence of events, neither network preserved a tape. All that survived of this broadcast is sideline footage shot by NFL Films and roughly 30 seconds of footage CBS included in a pre-game show for Super Bowl XXV. Somehow, an historic football game that was seen by 26.8 million people had, for all intents and purposes, vanished.

Comment: Interesting read from the WSJ. My prediction for tomorrow ... Steelers!

The David Tyree Catch!!

The helmet-catch

"Helmet-catch" on par with Immaculate Reception


Tyree makes catch of a lifetime in Super Bowl

Excerpt:

David Tyree stretched every inch of his 6-foot frame, straining as if the whole Super Bowl was at stake.

Because in a way, it was.

Somehow, with time running out and the ball pinned to his helmet, Tyree held on tight with both hands Sunday. Years from now, New York Giants fans will still wonder how he did it.

I predicted Giant's victory

Jim Peet's SuperBowl prediction on 2/1

Excerpt:

The Giants are hot and motivated. The Pats have a sense of entitlement. Remember that the Giants gave the Pats a run for it on 12/29: NE 38 / Giants 35.


I think the Giants defense will be tough. Giants!



Comment: Additionally I bet Mike L at work that the Giants would win (a buck!) On Friday I set an Outlook appointment for Monday at 8:30. The meeting subject: "Pay up sucka!"

Super Bowl at Church?

Super Bowl shouldn't be viewed on super screens

Comment: I believe in a separation of Church and State Football!
