The Sunday Morning Fuzzies...Superbowl Edition

Here we are with the game about to start.  I was going to go to a party or two, but am too exhausted from a full weekend of gigging and doing the gym thang.  So I'm watching the game at home, getting quietly buzzed, planning a good dinner and a blog.  So shoot me, it's not like the RAIDERS are playing or anything...  :)





So, is there a better quarterback to ever play the game of football as Peyton Manning?  He's mobile for a pocket guy, super accurate, great arm, calls his own plays and is basically the offensive coach, marketable personality, just the package.

I think that it's at best a crapshoot giving your card to the bartender to 'leave a tab open'.  More often then not, there ends up being mistakes you either have to hash out when cashing out, or that you don't realize until the next day.  Much better to remain on a cash only basis when alcohol is involved especially!!

The Superbowl has The Who as the halftime entertainment this year.  I wonder if Roger Daltry's voice is going to hold up?  I wish John Entwistle was still alive, he was such a core part of their sound...

Commercials, commercials, commercials.  Every company seems to save their best efforts for this day.  Some years they are even more entertaining then the game itself!

You want to tell your kid to 'get a job' if they need money for this or that, but for the first time in a long time when they say "I can't find one" it's not an excuse as much as a realistic statement of this challenging job market.  Now how do we motivate them to not have us pay for everything?  Sheesh...

As fun as bars can be for going out, hanging with friends, and generally mixing it up, they become pretty depressing venues of desperation and patheticism about 5 minutes before closing time.  The die hards with no better place to go are the only ones usually still hanging out.  Man I don't want to be the last one out the door in a bar ever!!  (keeping my fingers crossed on that one...)

POST GAME SECTION...

Well I missed the last half of the fourth quarter because of an emergency call from work, something wrong with the system on our side with their database, but I could hear the guy I was talking to watching the game on HIS END....mannnnn

Manning threw a bad pass, game out of reach.  I still think he's the best QB to play the game but the Saints came out ready after halftime, Peyton set the tone with the onside kick, the rest as they say is history...

Surprisingly small amount of cool commercials this year, did the economy leave everyone so broke that they couldn't afford CBS' exorbitant Superbowl commerical rates?

The WHO was lackluster.  It was cool seeing Roger and Pete still jamming, but I swore Roger was going to lose his voice during Pinball Wizard.  Pete didn't even make a move towards smashing his guitar after they were done.  Time to hang it up maybe boys?  That stage was really killer though...

Bands that hang on too long, hmmm that's future blog material...

Have a good Sunday everyone.  Congrats to New Orleans!
