I have a group of friends who come over to watch football all the time. They came over again for the Superbowl. I'm not sure if they like me or just my 50" HDTV. Anyway, I now have 50 different kinds of tortilla chips left over that people brought along with miscellaneous other snack items.

Overall, I thought it was a very average Superbowl. Not too exciting IMO unless you were a fan of either team. I also was pretty ticked when the Steelers fans booed Tom B. during the coin flip. Also, I was pretty shocked that analysts were comparing Big Ben to Tom B. in the pre-game. Really the only similarity and a vague one at that was their young age when appearing in their first Superbowl. I mean Big Ben put up a whopping QB rating of 22 last night.

I was watching a lot of post-game coverage today, because I have no job. Sadly for Steelers fans it seems a lot of analysts are asking "did the best NFL team really win the Superbowl?" Seems a lot of people are putting an asterisk next to the Steelers' win because of the bad refereeing and also because part of the reason they made it to the big game was because one of their lineman took out Carson Palmer with a cheap shot.

Oh well. Frankly, I feel like if the Steelers had to come through Foxborough to get to the big game they would have ended up watching the Superbowl on TV with the rest of us.

 

Hey, thanks for the great time, guys! The game was bad... good thing I have you guys to watch it and bitch about the officiating with. I'd blow a gasket if I didn't have you guys to vent with me.

Not only was the officiating horrible, but absolutely one-sided favoring the Stealers (no sp). Seems to be the theme in the whole playoff.

Yo Paulie, the MD trip is on comes Spring. Here's the Obrycki's Restaurant that I was telling you guys about. I think they were on the "Today" show once.

 

Oh I know EXACTLY where that is Ben. My apartment I have down in Baltimore is very close to it. I will look at the Sox schedule and see when they are in town.

Ben,

If it makes you feel any better, I saw Big Ben on Letterman the other night. He agreed (on national TV mind you) that he did not get in the endzone on one of the controversial plays.

 

Thanks Mike. He put on a hell of a celebrating football spike for a BS TD
