>>>This is a slightly sports obsessed site so I am surprised no one has said anything yet about the Super Bowl. So here we go. I have plenty of thoughts about it but will lay back.

>>GO PANTHERS!

>>With that aside, I pulled for the Packers in this one.... hated both teams, but pulled for them since the Steelers have won 2 the last 6 and I want the underdog to win once in a while.

>>Christina... what can you say? If you don't know the words, at least try to learn them, or else have a teleprompter or someone with cards there to help... .sigh...
>>
>>Black-Eyed Peas? I knew they were in trouble when the girls mike failed right off to start. She would've been better off if had stayed off. Harmony???? The show itself was spectacular, too bad about the singing.
>>
>>The Steelers? Too many mistakes to overcome.
>>
>>The Packers? Wow... all the injuries and still overcame them. Too bad the Panthers can't learn from them.
>>
>>I watched most of the game and I though it was well officiated. Can't blame the refs on this on.
>>
>>The commercials were forgetable except Darth Vader. Cute. Kids always win in commercials. And pets.

>>A very good Superbowl.....

Which means that Christina Aguilera is now the answer to the trivia question : "In all of human history, what person holds the distinction of f**king up in front of the largest number of people?" ( formerly held by The Who for even showing up last year )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
