Happy Groundhog Day



Everyone should celebrate this day by watching this, one of life's Great Romantic Comedies, over and over again.

That was a pretty good Super Bowl, huh? I was sorry to see the Cardinals lose, but the Steelers did outplay them. I thought The Boss did alright by the halftime RockAPalooza, and I cried when Jennifer Hudson sang the Star Spangled Banner, but then, I'm an idiot that way.

I cried when the Boss rammed his crotch into the camera.

LOL, in sympathy, I hope Ruth! Well, at least his wardrobe "functioned"...

I wept tears of dismay at most of the damn spectacle, probably not the intended result of marketing's efforts.

I shall always hear in my head this quote from Madden anytime his mouth flaps open: "You let these guys into the end zone, they're gonna score!"

And speaking of crying, I hear Baby Jesus cried when Kurt threw that interception.

Or how about that pass that went right through that receiver's hands at the end! But then he redeemed himself in the very next play so it was okay.

And yes, where would Football be without Madden's brilliant insight???

Did anyone have any favorite commercials? I think my favorite has to be the Pepsi "Forever Young" - What better symbol for one of Corporate America's giants than Bob Dylan, that beacon of 60's counterculture who is no doubt laughing (cackling? hacking?) all the way to the bank!

I loved it when the same guy who had just missed the game-winning pass caught it the second time.
That's like a guy who just struck out for the second to last out of the game being told he is up to bat again and then hitting a home run.

I wept for the cameraman, seeing what was coming at him ... never mind.

Favorite commercial, always the Clydesdales, the immigrant one was precious.
