SuperBowl Hype Worth it in Great Game
Here are some quick thoughts on the Super Bowl.One why is Matt Millen on the pre-game show? Hasn’t all he has done in Detroit, shown that he might not be the best choice to listen to and hear what he has to say? Come on NBC I know you wanted to impress us with all 86 of your hosts for the pre-game show, but Matt Millen, really?
Why do we need Faith Hill jammed down our throat? Whois she banging behind the scenes to be everything NBC football. Yeah she’s hot, i dont like country, i don’tcare about her one way or another, but maybe can you get some other people. Variety is a good thing.
Why didn’t the Cardinals try the no huddle earlier? Is it me or were there way to many flags? What happened to let the players play?
John Madden is annoying, so are those dumb bimbo reporters asking stupid ass questions.
I wasn’t that impressed with the commercials, then again i was going to get food, going to the bathroom and getting more beer during the commercial breaks. So i didn’see that many of them.
The Doritos crystal ball commercial was funny.
The Maguyver one sucked.
GI Joe....ah i dont know...maybe...ah...
The Budweiser ones...ah.. didn’t really hear them.
The E-surrance.... couldnt understand what the black kid was singing...thus stupid... Honestly that is all i remember.
The Boss wasn’t that bad... better than expected.
Cardinals should have been more aggressive in thesecond half.
Great Fourth quarter.
Should have reviewed the last play.
I know they never give the MVP to a person from the losing team, but Warner had the best game one anyone on that field.
I was right, I said take the Cardinals + the 7points....damn i should have bet.
