For NFL fan whose teams have not make it to play this day, it was a day of mourning of sorts, but still a day to be proud. ACME today was full of Eagles shirts. At Wing Street we saw a poor lonely purple jersey cloaking a very depressed looking Vikings fan carrying home 2 pizzas.
The game itself was pretty exciting for not really caring who won, especially the first half. The rain made the whole affair a little more of a challenge, and I like to see both sides struggle for control. For a while I wondered if maybe the Colts had hired inept stuntmen to play in their stead, but they eventually realized they were, indeed, playing int he Superbowl, and their performance greatly improved.
The halftime show was a bit disappointing. I've grown accustomed to having not only one former star who refuses to die, but also a strange hodgepodge cocktail of current stars to support him. Where were the Brittney Spears and Tim McGraw combos? Where were well...anything but Prince covering the Foo Fighters? I did think that the silhouetted image of Prince with his symbol shaped guitar illuminated on a giant, air-raised sheet....made him look like he had a giant hooked cock..there, I said it. The orchestra didn't play much, but they got to thrash dance their instruments around. I did notice ONE kid who had no blacklight responsive piping on his uniform. He must have had mono that day. All in all, I kept expecting something more to happen, and it didn't. For shame, Pepsi halftime show, for shame.
The second half of the game wasn't really as exciting as the first, but it wasn't too bad. My square didn't win me any money, but I didn't really expect it to. I had some pretty hoop dreamed numbers. They would've required an improbable amount of safeties. Oh well, maybe someone won something. Oh ya...the Colts won the Superbowl. Hah.

That's it. Carry on.
