Paytun

In preparation for the Super Bowl, my own personal in depth research turned up several interesting facts. Again, these come from my own thorough research into the teams, players, and coaches. (1) Peyton Manning is a good quarterback and had never made it to a Super Bowl, or ever won one. (2) Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are black. (3) Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are good friends and respect each other. (4) Dallas Clark, the Colts' tight end, was Peyton Manning's "X-factor". (5) The Bears had a player, Tank Johnson, who is facing charges in Illinois, but was allowed to travel to Florida for the game. (6) Peyton Manning had never won a Super Bowl. (7) Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are both black. (8) Rain makes things wet. (9) Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are black. (10) Peyton Manning had never made it to a Super Bowl.

During the game, I also learned that the defense was trying to stop the progress of the offense down the field. Good stuff. If this engineering doesn't pan out, I think I could work as a sports commentator. All I need to be able to do is babble incoherently while nothing is happening on the field, and draw circles and squiggles on the telestrator.

I felt the commercials were sub-par this year. A lot of them weren't even new for the Superbowl. I mean, if you're going to spend $2.6 million dollars for a 30-second spot, you can make a new and exciting commercial. And the Clydesdales only made a cameo (in the white / dalmation dog commercial). This has to be one of the signs of the apocalypse. More tomorrow.
