OK... So, as all of you know (and I'm sure: your wallets know), Superbowl XLIII took place tonight in Tampa Bay Flaridaaa. Some were calling this one the classic offense vs defense battle, some were disgusted that Pittsburgh was back in the Superbowl. Yet most were just shocked that the Arizona Cardinals, with 97 year old Kurt Warner made it to the big game.
1st Quarter: Blahhh...not much, couple good commercials.
2nd Quarter: Whatever, whatever... ok that interception was ridiculous. Changed the game completely. James Harrison's interception for 100 yard was a 14 point swing, and instead of the Cardinals going into halftime up, with momentum, and the ball for the second half, they were down 10. Crazy. FYI, if you were watching, you would have heard Madden and his ridiculous blatherings of i don't know what, say that James Harrison was cut 4 times (3 by the steelers and once by the Ravens). News to me, news to most of you I'm sure. Shows that if you can bench 490 pounds (fact..I'm not kidding) you can be scary on the football field.
3rd Quarter: OK Budweiser, enough with the horses. How many Bud commercials were there with the damn horse?
4th Quarter: All the buzz and hype for the Superbowl was lived up in this quarter. Where there were 55 lead changes and 165 points put up. Honestly though, the single greatest quarter I've ever seen in any Superbowl. I'm not going to recap because that's useless, but Ben Rothlesberger's pass to Santonio Holmes for the win, was one of the greatest passes of all time. Unbelievable
Superbowl Grade: 9.76/10
Other news today, at about 8:00 AM Eastern Time, Roger Federer Unfortunately lost to Raphy Nadal for the 75th time in a row. Honestly, Nadal has taken over the sport, as much as i love Federer, and wish that he can make a jump and take command of the the tennis stage again, it is not looking good. I felt awful for him, when he broke down trying to make his speech, he is the classiest athlete out there, it's hard to ever root against the guy. Catch the video here.
Federer-Nadal Rematch x20: 8.231/10
So now that football is done, I'm going to induce myself into a coma and hopefully wake up on September 14th when we can look forward to Superbowl XLIV.

I think Federer will come back to beat Nadal, not at the French, but probably at Wimbledon as well as the US Open. Because of Nadal, Federer will never be able to say he had it easy, or that his breaking Sampras' record was due to the low quality of tennis during his Kingly reign.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely rooting for Federer, but he's got to grow out of his mental block against Nadal, or else..
He's still young enough to do it.
p.s. Without the Bears, fuck the superbowl
I agree, he will bounce back... He still is God of Tennis
