Like your fantasy football team, Mr Football?

That was painful to watch. I didn't really have druthers on which team won, but I like Peyton and expected...well I didn't expect the Broncos to be blown away like that.

And they didn't even have the decency to behead any coaches or referees. hmmmph.

I agree Bruno didn't suck too badly. He didn't do his crying songs. Queen Latifah did a nice job on America the Beautiful and that opera lady was a nice change from the warblers they usually have.

I was offended that there was an ad featuring Prancing Beckham. He's so totally gross. If I had a colored card I'd hold it up to indicate my chagrin. Then I'd behead someone.

Nooooooo!
I mean I don't get the whole Superbowl advert thing, but your comment made me look up the Becks advert. Nothing wrong with a fit man taking off his clothes, shurely?

But I admit I'm a fan, so I'm biased.
Very

Actually he was in my dream Saturday night.
Although it was more about Victoria and their daughter. And ended up being about a hotel set over the sea with a five-storey external staircase. The way dreams do.

Right. That's it. I don't like fit nekkid men.

And don't call me Shirley.

I think he's creepy. Victoria is creepier.

It turns out I can't play *fantasy* football either.

**shrug**

I'm not equipped for that game. I don't have cable or satellite tv, nor do I have enough interest in the game, much less the individual players to work that program. I'll rejoin the stands next year and watch y'all duke it out.

I'm in the same boat, and it turns out all you need to know is what the fantasy football app tells you. All the relevant stats are right there in front of you. But it does take time. Upwards of 15 minutes a week if you are really paying attention.

The interesting thing is that once you are reading the stats on these guys, the names and teams start to sound familiar and you start to notice the real world games.

I watched the first three quarters. I found it nearly impossible to believe either, a) The Broncos threw the game, or b) Someone drugged the Broncos' Gatorade with a mild sedative.

The whole spectacle from the first insane attempt at a snap to Bruno Mars meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers made me think that there is no driver on the bus.

That's what I was feeling but couldn't quite put words into it. My cousin touted that Manning is the best quarterback ever and that I will see why. I was a bit flabbergasted while watching the game. Still enjoyed myself since I haven't watched a game since the 80's, hehe.

Normally, Manning is extremely good. But you wouldn't know it from watching that game. Clearly, Seattle has a great defense, and their offense is good too.

I was a little surprised at how loud it was. There were a lot of Seattle fans in that stadium and they made a lot of noise.

It was like they stole Manning and replaced him with a high school quarterback. "Let's see if anyone notices."

He is SO good. I mean, Seattle's defense was killin'...but for Peyton to look so awful was painful to watch. He seems like a nice guy. I love me some nice guy quarterbacks, so I was disappointed for him.

When did the whole thing turn into a giant music concert, anyway? Queen Latifa, Bruno Mars, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Are there now three halftimes in the game instead of just one? [/haven't watched a Super Bowl since like the late 90s]

Queen Latifah sang America the Beautiful...pregame stuff.

No one knows why the Chili Peppers appeared in the middle of Bruno's performance. I thought they would be cool and he would be so not cool, and it was the other way around!

It was in 1993 that Michael Jackson performed at the Super Bowl and effectively turned the halftime show into a Big Deal. Before that it was a lot of college marching bands and Up With People. (heeeheee, remember them?)
