NFL playoffs

[wendybeth]

Soooooo.... What hotel did ya decide on, Pru?

[SacTown Chronic]

Wow.


If I were a Seahawk fan I'd be plenty pissed at the officials right now. But I'd be sure to direct a portion of my anger at Holmgren and Hasselbeck. I cannot believe that the Seahawk's final drives of each half were directed by an NFL caliber coach and quarterback. Way to vomit on your own shoes, fellas.

While it would be convenient to blame the officiating, the Hawks have no one to blame for losing that game but themselves.

That is true, Kevy. If I were a certain tight end named Stevens right now I'd be feeling like quite the goat. Three perfect passes right in his hands dropped. Gack.

That being said, there were three huge calls that definitely impacted the game in favor of the Steelers - the pushoff in the endzone (I thought it was lame), the touchdown (I have to think the Steelers would kick a field goal at that point, having been stopped 3 times on short and goal), and the personal foul on Hasselback, which moved the Steelers into range to run their trick play.

So....the Seahawks certainly could have won even with those calls. However, those calls certainly aided the Steelers.

I too claim BS on the Pittsburgh touchdown...because if Pitt. had kicked the field goal instead, I would have won the betting pool for the first half.

We're all missing the real story...the commercials sucked this year. I can't think of a single standout. Sure I recall chuckling at a couple, but there was nothing memorable.

That alone should have been enough to overturn the play!

There were a couple that I enjoyed, but the quality has been going down the last couple of years.

One was the beer commercial where the touch football games gets out of hand and the cute bland gets [strike]nailed[/nailed] tackled hard and then gets the favor returned later in the bar.

But the ones that stuck with me were for a financial company (obviously they didn't sdtick that well as I cannot recall their name). They were the ones with "don't judge too quickly". The one with the fly in the hospital room was my favorite.

And WTF was the Dove "Self Esteem for Young Girls" spot doing on the Superbowl?!?

SPOILER FOR GRAY'S ANATOMY FANS WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE YET:

Spoiler:

And for those who didn't stick around to watch "Gray's Anatomy": code black means that there is a live bomb in a body in the surgery room. A common occurance in surgical hospitals I'm sure!

oh, man! I'm screwed when I go to Mayo, aren't I?

But regarding the commercials, I guess I liked the "magic fridge". That made me laugh. None of the others did.

The suckage factor on the commercials this year was high.
Boring halftime show.
Boring game.

My dad's a big Steelers fan, though. He's very happy.

This is our first year with hdtv. I was working on some computer stuff and half-watching the game. Heather came in and sat down. "Could we be watching something else?" I handed her the remote.
Transfixed is not the word I would use to describe my reaction to this year's Superbowl.
