Analogman Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The last entire football game I've watched was when the Bears won the Superbowl in Jan, 1986. Last night I saw exactly zero seconds of Superbowl pregame/game/post game coverage. It was awesome! I think I was somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean then - can't recall exactly. I suppose I was mainly checking the game out yesterday due to the history and tradition of The Steelers. I was glad to see them win. I was into such things when I was a kid, but not now.

myboyblue Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I am a big proponent of moving Super Bowls to Saturday evening. I have yet to find anyone that can highlight why they haven't done this already. I would think there would be no negative impact to viewership. I also think that it would make travel arrangements much easier for those heading to the game. Does anyone have Roger Goodall's e-mail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 that article pissed me off so much. i've known fans like her for various different bands, it's just absurd. dude doesn't owe her shit. i thought Bruce was awesome. sure he was cheesetastic, but he kind of always has been. and yeah, he definitely cut 10th Ave and BTR short. I could easily be one of THOSE fans. My first rock show was a Springsteen show one week before my 16th birthday. I followed him acorss the South in 1978 (San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Jackson, Memphis, Nashville). I spent nights on the concrete waiting for tickets. You know...one of THOSE fans. I am not one of THOSE fans though. I still fervently follow the Boss, but, for the most part, I keep my Bruce obsession to myself. Last night, my wife (Downtown) made it a point to tell everyone at out Superbowl gathering that Iwas a huge Bruce fan and everybody had to be quiet during the show. I don't like drawing attention to my fanboyness and I really get uncomfortable watching performances or even listening to Bruce songs around other people because invariably THEY DON'T GET IT. Bruce is an artist you can enjoy for the flash and the show and/or you can enjoy for the deeper experience. Bruce has been speaking to the American experience for 35 years with songs of betrayal, hope, fear and redemption as WELL as fun mindless rockers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NightOfJoy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 So you aren't a football fan (at all) and yet you clicked on the thread entitled "SUPER BOWL THREAD". Cool Perhaps you should write a letter to your local, state and federal goverments for thread reading legislation and regulation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Perhaps you should write a letter to your local, state and federal goverments for thread reading legislation and regulation. I just don't see the point, frankly. Congratulations, you didn't watch the Super Bowl. You have absolutely nothing to add to the conversation about the Super Bowl.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Super Bowl viewers in Tucson get more than a wardrobe malfunction. By the way...anybody want to explain to me why James Harrison wasn't ejected after the personal foul on the punt in the fourth quarter. He threw TWO punches at the Arizona player while he had him pinned on the ground. Throwing a blatant punch is grounds for ejection...even if you are the NFL defensive Player on the Year...even if You are a Pittsburgh Steeler...and even if it is the Super Bowl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG9GXtr9rpY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakobnicholas Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Great game. The play before half-time was HUGE. It looked like the half-time score would be Cardinals 14 Pittsburgh 10. Instead, it's Pittsburgh 17 Cardinals 7. What an amazing swing. The roughing call against Ben WAS atrocious. (On the same play, I didn't think he got outside the tackle box, and thought it might have been a flag, as Ben threw it away out of bounds.) I thought the replay on the final play CLEARLY showed Warner's hand going forward. Yes, it looked like the ball was jarred loose, but Warner's hand remained gripping the ball (perhaps loosely) and he was able to extend the ball forward and I thought it did look like a pass....if a weak one. That play just HAS to reviewed. The NFL is saying it was reviewed in the upstairs booth and deemed not nescessary to look at again, but there was only about 30 seconds to do that before Pittsburgh snapped the next ball. NO WAY did the guy in the booth look at the 50 or so different angles on that play. If nothing else, they MUST review that play to give us viewers the thought that they're gonna make 100 percent sure it is the correct call. Had they ruled that Warner made an incomplete pass, the Cardinals would have gained another 15 yards because the Steeler player took his helmet off. A hail mary pass completion from the Steeler 40 yard line....with Larry Fitzgerald on your team....is a possibility. ALSO.....when Pittsburgh scored its winning TD, the reciever was doing his Lebron James impersonation with the football. Should have been a 15 yard unsporstmanlike penalty....making the kickoff 15 yards further away. All this shouldn't take away the fact that Steelers earned a victory. The Steel curtain had some holes all over it, but it did enough (i.e....the 100 yeard TD return) to win. And Ben had just a so-so game, but stepped up when it counted. And his size is such a big part of his game...he just doesn't go down. Anyone who doubts Warner going to the Hall of Fame is fooling himself. With exception of the one interception, he played tremedous. He was a miraculous Steeler drive away from being MVP. Warner now holds the #1, #2 and #3 biggest passing days in Super Bowl History. Springsteen was good, not great. He walks the fine line of being fun and cool to being corny. The opening line about putting down the quacemole dip?......um, OK. He was trying to have a good time, so that's cool. Best commercials? Conan/Bud Light was my favorite. The ad with the koala bear getting punched was funny. And the Denny's ad with the mafia guys made me laugh.......AS DID the short Denny's add with the singing octupus pancakes. So wierd, but funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So wierd, but funny.Anyone going to Denny's for their free breakfast tomorrow AM? I can't imagine what type of clientele shows up at Denny's for a free breakfast. Hollinger and other Des Moines people on the boards might understand this would be a good time to go shopping at the Windsor Heights Wal Mart. I imagine many of their regulars will be lined up outside Denny's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Rocky Plassio, a 32-year-old high school teacher from the suburb of Washington, had his 3-year-old son, Noah, perched on his shoulders. The elder Plassio made sure his son didn't miss the celebration. "The last time the Steelers won, he was an infant," Rocky said. "If you're from Pittsburgh, the Steelers are really part of your culture. It's in your blood."That's fucking funny right there. And I'll bet you a nickel the dad was named after Rocky Bleier.

H-Bomb Henry Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I thought that was horrible too. Maybe his fine should match his Super Bowl bonus. The worst part about it...it penalized the Steelers a half of a yard. That's typical Steelers football. I'll never forget when Dick LeBlow much like the leader of Kobra Kai Karate ordered Kimo VonOlenheuffan to take out Carson Palmer's knee in the playoffs. Devastating.
