Superbowl XLII
« on: February 04, 2008, 04:46:04 AM »
Just thought I'd start a thread here. Note to all Americans: please put superbowl on a saturday for us euro fans. It's 4:45 am on a monday, I'm drunk, and I have school tomorrow.

Anyway, I'll have to get back to you tomorrow with my impressions, but wow.. I lost a few bucks I had riding on a 7-12 point win on New England, but I have to give it to New York - guess the best offense really is a good defence. This is the best game I have ever seen in a Superbowl.

We had a whole American themed party going, and one too many beers led me to being a quite tired person at this time.. So good night, and see you tomorrow/today!

I wonder if an American themed party in Europe is like that episode of Arrested Development.

Michael and Rita sit down at an American Themed Restaurant in Wee Britain (A location for British people in Orange County) called Fat Ammy's American Style Restaurant

Waiter: "Enjoy your plates of donuts. I'll be back with some 64 ounce glasses of soda to wash them down. Then I'll take your order."

Michael Bluth: SO this is what you think of us huh?

The date finishes and they both leave holding giant bags of left over food.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Stunningly great game, and really a superb example of how great American football can be.

Loved it - watched it with a roomful of friends, all pulling for the Giants. What a game!

I wasn't really pulling for either team and kind of watched it over my shoulder because I was playing LOTRO but I did Tivo it. I'll probably go back and watch for the commercials (Iron Man!) so I'll see most of it.

Can't really say I'm sorry to see the cheaters lose since the league is mostly looking the other way on that stuff. The Pats are the dynasty of choice right now and they are getting a free pass. That and denying Randy Moss a SB win after he gave up in Oakland the previous two years was kind of sweet.

Oh and I bet Tiki Barber feels like even more of a moron right now than he has for the last couple of weeks after he ran his mouth about his former teammates at the beginning of the year.

I totally rooted for the Giants as well, I am loving the fact that one Manning brother won the superbowl last year, and the other wins it this year, how cool is that? Also, we had a running bet going about how many times they would pan the cameras up to Peyton in the box for reaction shots, and we counted over 10 times! Screw the Patriots and their Spygate cheating butts =P They got totally outplayed tonight and I really enjoyed watching Brady fall on his back so many times, the Giants D put him on his back 18 times, not count the 5 sacks that they got. The Defense really was the MVP of that game. I'd also put Tyree up there in the MVP list with Plaxico and Eli because of his ridiculously amazing off the helmet catch that gave them such huge momentum. (Also Boss for his excellent play) I'm a huge Colts fan but I'm very happy the Giants pulled it off tonight. Pats just weren't playing in top form like the other 18 games.

I enjoyed watching that Terminator robot choke slam that Superbowl robot.  Fox must have a lot of faith in the Sarah Connor Chronicles, what with all the advertising they did.  It's terrible.  Don't watch.

I'm still waiting for the Colts and the Giants to play against each other in a superbowl.  The advertising would write itself...

"Friend against Friend..."
"Brother against Brother"

"This Superbowl will determine once and for all: Who is the better Man...ning?"

Just imagine Don LaFontaine's voice doing that, and it just sounds awesome.
