Great game. Pittsburgh wins in the game's waning moments. But for three-quarters of the game, it was a ho-hum affair. I don't know if it was because I was trying to match the world's worst Super Bowl square numbers or trying to outfunny everyone. I have that tendancy you know. At any rate, it seemed that Madden and Michaels were at sea. Madden was Madden. But Michaels seems to over-dramatize things. For instance, replays clearly showed Santonio Holmes' catch being legal Michaels gets all fired up. At any moment, I thought I was going to hear, "Do you believe in toes?"
I will pass over in silence the fact that Pittsburgh's Jeff Reed cost me $500 for his extra point.
And NBC had waaay to many commentators present. Perhaps this was the reason that guest commentator Mike Holmgren seemed overly pissed on the set? Only reason I can tell. Patrick and Olbermann are awful as is Tiki Barber. Normally, I like Costas but this was overkill. For my money, I'd like to throw a shoe at Olbermann. And why were the announcers wearing bankers striped suits yesterday? Was NBC's Dick Ebersol trying to tell us something?
Halftime? Bruce and the E Street Band. Sucked. Disagreed with all the song choices. Granted 12 minutes is 12 minutes. But when the pseudo referee comes out and declares Boss Time? I vomited in my mouth. Hokey. Bruce just say no next time. That's what happens when you let President Obama dictate your set list. Oh, he didn't?
