Superbowl rants

well well, another year another superbowl. How big is the superbowl. It is basically THE TV moment of the year. that is my opinion anyway. so, here is a list of things i noticed during the bowl. bold thing gonna be different, This is prob going to be a long post so just read th first couple words to see what im sayin.
1. The Vince Lambardi? A common mistake or something not everyone knows. if you play in the Grey Cup game, you win the Grey Cup, if you play in the Superbowl, you dont win the superbowl. you win the Vince Lumbardi Trophy. the superbowl would be cooler.
2. XXXIX to XL now ill say that 39 isnt very complex in roman numerals, but something like 38 (XXXVIII) it kinda long. but once you get to 40 (or 50 is better) its pretty easy. XL. you wont need so much room to represent the number. like when in the movie industry they went from MCMIX (1999 maybe?) to MM. alot easier to see.
3. Turf head On one of Philly's first first downs in which Smith dove and caught the ball (it was a nice catch). When he came up, he had a chunk of grass and dirt on the right side of his helmut.
4. And its tied So 0-0 after 1. What i believe is only the 3rd time in SB history in which it was scoreless after 1. Then 7-7 after 2. the second time the games has been tied at half. pretty cool, but when was that last time? SB XIII. thats right, 13 times 3 is 39. hmmmmm? and yes, i am a nerd.
5. Homestar yes homestarrunner.com. they had a thing that they were going to update during halftime. It really wasnt working well for me, maybe because of the traffic, maybe not. but i did see at least part of the thing and it was really funny. TROGDOOOOOR!!!.
6. WOW this is a shout out to all those amazing catches out there (if im allowed to shout out to catches). there were alot of amazing catches, but my favorite. In the 4th, 2nd and 7 and quick low pass and called incomplete. They look at it, hits the recievers hands, hangs in the air like an inch above the ground then bounces up into the air, then the reciever comes up with the catch. Philly cahllenges and gets the call reverced. it was pretty amazing.
7. Bruschi How cool is the name Bruschi, yes pronounces Brewsky. Tedy Bruschi of the NE Pats, has one of the coolest football names, honorable mentions to Gay and Woodcock.
8. Simpsons break Good simpsons. But then again i liked last season and many didnt. but the mario thing seemed odd. was it just me or was it not a simpsons thing to do, it didnt seem like it, but it was funny. now for some funny quotes. Flanders: "that mouth is hopin' for a soapin'", Tom Brady (something like) "tom is better than everyone", Homer: "crotch grabbing will be the sun", Church sign (always funny): "rapture threat level: orange", and finally: "Labron James: Omlets for dinner, this is best day of my life. Lisa: Didnt you just sign a 90 million dollar contract. James: ya that was a good day too."
9. American Dad meh. Not a huge fan. it had some funny stuff, like how he is paranoid and he shot the toaster repeditvly. but the talking goldfish: not that funny and kind of annoying. Alien: Spewing mucus, not that funny. Family: arnt they all the same. especially similar to family guy. I might give it another chance but im not sure ill be a fan.
10. Montage One thing i really like about sports, especially the during big games, montages. like clips to DMX-party up, or the killers, or like anyone else. so good and enthusiating (causing enthusiasm, not an actuall word). nothing gets me pumped up like the pre-kickoff montage.
11. Coin toss this year it was kind of cool that the little kid did it, but it wasnt a good toss. it was a lob. i dont think it flippd at all. I wonder how many times the kid practised?
12. "TO's will play a role in the game" On saturday i saw on yahoo! that some expert was saying the bolded text. i think that was a good call. when do TO's not play a role? its like saying, "this team lost due to missed opertunities". and sure there couldnt have been any TOs but then the expert could have said that they won by not giving TOs. how bad is it that McNabb threw almost half as many TOs in the game as in the ENTIRE SEASON. I beleive 8 in the season, and he had 4 in the game, but one was called back on a flag, so technically 3.
13. This is a clock, ever seen one?RRRRRRRRRRR. this is my im angry section. w h i c h a l s o t u r n s o u t t o b e n u m b e r t h i r t e e n , often referd to as an 'unlucky' number. (spaced out t e x t shows slow suspicious like voice). But like on the eagles last drive, it was a good drive, but it was in like slow motion. like did they think that they were only down by 7, or maybe they thought there were 5 quarters, o o o, or maybe they thoguht THEY were winning. LIKE COME ON. YOUR IN THE FREAKIN' SUPERBOWL, DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE THE FREAKIN' CLOCK. YOU RAN A BIT OF HURRY UP OFFENCE AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF. ERRRRRRRRRRRR!!! or had to get it out. (note: about 2 mins in at most i deciced that i wanted to chear for the eagles, so i did.) The defence played well for the last 12 downs of the Pats, and they got a bit unlucky on the onside kick, but clock management on offence was CRAP. CRAP I TELL YOU. ok, im done.
14. Halftime show I wanted a tradition to start. picture this, at the end of the show, Paul Macartny lifts up his shirt and shows a little nipple. how funny would that have been? I woulda laughed heartly. but he didnt. Or if JT ran on and riped his shirt. ok, maybe a little far, but how can we let a superbowl pass without bringing up Janet. Cool things: The four slanted floorlike screens with the same picture looked cool, all the fireworks during live and let die, and almost 73 THOUSAND PEOPLE (plus the veiwers at home) all singing NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY JUDE. NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY JUDE. pretty cool.
15. commercial Superbowl time is one of the most sought ofter times for a commercial. companies spend tons of money making comercials. and do to our geography, we are stuck with the same old stupid ones. darn. but I did see one, it was a budweiser one and it was good but not a great one concidering it was coming from bud. But i have a great idea. i think that veiwers should be able to vote on the crappiness of superbowl commercials. that way if a company got a crappy rating, they wouldnt be allowed to have a superbowl commercial the next year. i think it is a good plan.
16. tv shows I sorta touched on this but to enforce my saying that the superbowl is the biggest TV event of the year, i ramble more. So, when family guy and/or king of the hill made their deput, it was right after the superbowl. and this year, a "sneak peak" at a new show 'family guy 2', uh sorry no, i mean 'american dad'. animated comedies revolve around the superbowl. Simpsons specials :Treehouse of horror (halloween), christmas (who doesnt do a christmas special) and superbowl.
17. MVP/PWTTBTM(person who touched the ball the most). This year isnt the best example, but very often the quarterback gets the MVP. now why would this be? well except for the center, he is the only person to touch the ball on every possesion. so say you have a team that is all really good, and the quarteback passes off to everyone and hands off and stuff so everyone has decent stats but no one stands out, naturally the QB would get the MVP even though he might not have been. but you could argue that he did give it to everyone and thats impressive, but (im really not sure this is a good point or arguement so im ending number 17 now.)
18. nothing ok ya i think that is all, i probably missed some stuff, o i remember
19. ring around the winners The rope thing. as soon as the game was over, a bunch of yellow vest wearers ran onto the field all holding a long rope. they circled the people on the field. Im guessing it was cuz its hard for someone to run through a rope. but still a little funny.
20. nothing agianok, now im done i think. its been fun. check in next year

PS-i thought of this after i posted so im editing rather than commenting
21. Airplanes last year it was a stealth bomber, this year 4 somethings during the national anthem. you know what would be cool like 20 f-18s or something coming over at like mach 1+. that would be so cool. I wish they would so that at my house. also,
22. Throw the flag You prob know that i think the NFL's challenge flag is one of or the coolest things ever. but one thing about it, you never see the coach accually throw it, they seem to know when the coach is going to throw it but never show it. they should have a coach cam in the corner of the screen at tiems that seem possible for him (or her) to throw it. that would be cool. and it sorta relates to the superbowl, all 3 challenges were won in the superbowl (on of them the amazing catch and the others 'fumbles' that turned out not to be). and done again.

PPS seriously this is bad, im sorry
23. go long So when the game started, im like hmmm pop would be nice. and philly just challenged and its a commercial break so ive got a bit of time so i jogged to the corner store to pick up some pop. then on the way back with my 2 litre of pepsi (i had to think pepsi or coke but decided on pepsi cuz i have coke at home in cans but i sorta felt bad buying it). but in honour of the superbowl, i carried my pepsi like a football. it was kinda fun. also that first sip after pouring a new glass was sooo cool. i love the carbination of coke/pepsi, especially in the morning. well thats all, again. hopefully for good.
