For those of you who didn’t watch the game last night because… um… well, I can’t think of a single good reason for not watching the Super Bowl…
…allow me to summarize what you missed. Feel free to use any of this information around your water cooler, in line at the post office, or with whomever you happen to run into once you emerge out from under the rock you seem to live, um, under. :-)
Anyway. The Goods:
a) Rex Grossman sucks ass. That is really all you need to know. Devin Hester? Amazing. Brian Urlacher? Even my husband admits to having a “man crush” on this beast. Jones? Benson? All warriors doing their damnedest in battle.
Rex Grossman? Apparently forgot to take his fucking medication. OR bet the seven point fucking spread and could leave nothing to chance. Whatever the hell happened to him, I hope he is house shopping during the plane ride tomorrow. Because there is no way that man will be safe within 60 miles of Chicago. And so help me GAWD if that man is allowed to wear a Bears uniform AGAIN next year - well, it will be bad. Very, very bad.
In a city where Mike Ditka is still revered as a deity, Rex Grossman needs to seek out The Fan and see if he can get him to go halvesies on the rent somewhere near Green Bay. Seriously.
b) Prince. Oh my dear Lord, Prince. Even in a head dress that my brother referred to as a “slave rag” (listen, it’s the only description I’ve got, ok?) - he manages to pull off the Sexy God look.
The eyes. The look. The way he lightly touches the back of his neck that made me want to “lightly” touch the back of his “neck”…
Even if, by some misstep of nature, you cannot pick up on his I Am The Sexiest Man Alive vibe - the man can Sing. And Play. And make me squeal in my living room like a school girl.
I am going to see this man live in Vegas on March 10th. If it kills me, I will. I may have to take some kind of medication with me though because if seeing him on the big screen in High Definition Sultriness can do - well, what it did - to me… I shudder to think what it will be like in person.
Shudder, I tell ya. Shudder.
Psst... thanks for stopping by! I hope I didn't traumatize you too badly on your first visit. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want updates from the site!

Gawd … wait until you see him get all worked up and sweaty on stage. He just gets better as the show progresses.

You can’t think of a single good reason that I wouldn’t watch the SuperBowl?
1. I’m not gay - I don’t enjoy watching pseudo-Neanderthals humping each other to move an object from one end of a yard to another.
2. I don’t like Prince.
3. The commercials aren’t that good anymore.
4. I’d rather waste four hours of my life by cleaning a bathroom or doing yard work or sitting in front of my computer typing love poems to myself.
So there! :mrgreen:

So you are telling us that your husband got lucky last night all thanks to Prince?
Score!!

Okay don’t hate me here!
It wasn’t Grossman’s fault that they were out played by my LOVELY Colts! Seriously the Bears had to have a running game to win and they grossly lacked that last night. :shock:
Prince I will agree with you was a sexy beast! But I must ask you this or anyone else, did you see the commercial where the guy proposed to the girl? I so wanted to see it and I never saw anything about it. Oh well!

Michelle: *SWOON*
avitable:
1. What kind of a homophobe thinks sporting events are a sign of homosexuality? Seriously. The competition, the fight, the adrenaline - none of these things have anything to do with sexual orientation.
2. I can understand you not liking Prince. If you had the same feelings for Prince that I did, I’d be worried.
3. The commercials are just extra anyway. What goes on ON the field is far more interesting.
4. If you don’t understand the rules, you can just say so.
>:)
Wicked H: are you kidding? I was far too spent from watching that performance to do more than CRASH!! LOL
debkitty:
No way. If Rex could have hung on to the fucking ball, the Bears would have continued to stomp them. Ah well - woulda shoulda coulda.
I think the proposal commercial was a “leak” to get people watching the commercials, in order to up the commercial ratings and, therefore, the commercial price tag for next year. With Tivos and DVRs, etc. now, it’s much easier to get a minute by minute recording of who is actually watching what and commercials have been taking a beating with the TiVo “skip” feature.

Valid reasons not to watch the Superbowl:
1. It falls on your 16th birthday and your dad tells you “we’ll just have to celebrate later”
2. It falls on your 21st birthday and your dad tells you, “we’re having a superbowl party over here, maybe we can do something next week for your birthday.”
3. Hating football and most sports in general.
4. A general loathing for the hype surrounding said event.
:mrgreen:

Adrenaline? More like ennui.

Prince was awesome. I loved how he did “Best of You.” He owns that song now. If you see him in concert, you will LOVE it. I’ve seen him twice and he just keeps getting better. He puts on an incredible show and it is worth every dollar you’ll spend on the ticket.
Oh, and the hair thing is also called a ‘do rag.

I saw the game a ‘little’ differently than you did. Grossman was a tad bit nervous in the beginning, due to his inexperience. The weather played a huge role in both sides not being able to handle the ball well, and hence fumbling. The largest number of fumbles ever in the Super Bowl.
Also, Grossman was off the field a lot, and got cold. Hard to throw long when you’re cold. When Chicago was down 5, the offensive coordinator should have continued calling 15- 20 yard passes, not longer ones. Not Grossman’s fault.
The interception return broke Chicago’s back, and it became Indianapolis’ game.
My wife, and friend in California calling both said that Prince put on a fantastic show.

I would like to contribute to the bail fund. That last line made me shudder too.

I wish I could understand what it is that you see in Prince.
