Super Bowl Wrap-up

 Hines was all over the place on Sunday...at least from what I saw when I wasn't sleeping...

I was actually excited to see the Super Bowl.  After ten days of lead up and Skip Bayless saying this would be 'the most boring Super Bowl ever,' I can say I was looking forward to the game.  It's hard not to when the ESPN family of networks has 9,000 straight hours of coverage on 18 channels.  They covered every angle except how many toilet flushes Ford Field would have during halftime (actually the USA Today had that covered).  Come the third quarter I was asleep.  Bored stiff.  No scoring.  John Madden getting on my last nerve.  I had had enough. 

--  Pittsburgh won, 21-10.  Congratulations Pittsburgh.  I'm happy for Bill Cowher.  I'm happy for Jerome Bettis, from Detroit, who retired after the game.

--  Nice officiating.  Pass interference in the endzone on the Seahawks that should have been a touchdown.  I honestly thought by putting replay in football it would help get rid of bad calls.  Guess replay doesn't help officials who are just braindead. 

--  Joe Montana.  Love this story.  It's come out that Mr Montana wouldn't come to the Super Bowl because the NFL wouldn't give him the $100,000 he asked for.  Joe said he needed to stay home to watch a 'must see' basketball game his son was playing in.  Right you are.  Come on Joe, it's the Super Bowl and they wanted to acknowledge you for being one of the best football players ever.  Figure it out. 

--  Terry Bradshaw.  See above.

--  Anybody else care where Terrell Owens is going to be playing next year?  Anybody else see him playing in that celebrity basketball game over the weekend?  Anybody else really care if we never see this guy again?  Me neither. 

         Not saying a word, but....eh, nevermind.

--  I thought by bringing in the Rolling Stones for halftime we wouldn't have to hear anymore crap about the Janet Jackson / Justin Timberlake breast show.  Mick Jagger says two little words and the entertainment world erupts.  Censorship of their songs during the Super Bowl halftime show was "absolutely ridiculous and completely unnecessary," the Rolling Stones said through a spokeswoman Tuesday.  In "Start Me Up," the show's editors silenced one word close to the song's end, a reference to a woman so sexy she could arouse a dead man.  The lyrics for "Rough Justice" included a synonym for rooster that was removed.  Lord, you have GOT to be kidding.  Life will go on Mick. 

--  Last, but not least...how about Seahawks tight end, Jeramy Stevens, predicting a Seahawks win.  I have no problem with that what so ever.  Say you're team is going to win.  You should be optimistic, but don't come out and drop every pass thrown your way.  First of all, Stevens, you can't block.  Second, two passes hit you dead in the chest and you dropped them.  Both would have been first downs and big plays that your team needed.  Keep your mouth shut next time if you can't walk the walk.  Joey Porter was right...you are soft.
