And Von Miller is a BEAST.

Dude, I am so with you on that. Its like the game itself isn't good enough so they have to add all kinds of crap to it.

I have nothing against pre-game festivities.. its a party. But once the game starts, it should be like all other games. Screw the damn halftime show. I've never seen a single one that actually added value to the Superbowl. Its like a tattoo on a beautiful woman. WHY???

Look, I generally try to be an optimist, but what's up with all the commercials beaming with political correctness projecting happy, happy, joy, joy feel-good to the butt-hurt chronically depressed disenfranchised crowd?!?

And I really don't need to know what the **** Obama thinks about football - the only football I want the prez focusing on is the one with the codes...

Miss the days of simple humored commercials like Tom Landry surrounded by Redskins and the Daughters of the Revolution asking Where's The Beef?

Look, I like my friends, getting together for the game; but when it's the Superbowl, you get the wives, some are nice ice candy (seen and not heard), but then some are in intolerable PMS mode and want to change the channel mid-play to see how the Puppy Bowl is going...and when you change it back, the kids start crying, oh for the love of St. Michael, their kids...whose vocabulary doesn't include the words "Don't Touch," "Stop Doing That," and "Daddy can we go home now"

Look...non football people need to self segregate themselves or deport to areas not dominated by the rest of us.

SELF DEPORT

Wives or husbands, not involved or clueless, need to understand for this short period of time, one Sunday, a year, stands alone on the calendar to be void of mindless social responsibilities required in polite society.

And if, god willing, the Saints are in the Superbowl...again...climb on board the bus but please continue to self segregate because I am not gonna tell anyone AGAIN what team is in the BLACK jersey.

Well I hope the saints don't choose the black jerseys if they get there. The NFC team gets to choose next year.

I agree 1000% on you with all this: this year the game was boring, the commercials weren't funny and the halftime show sucked hairy dog balls. I could of done without even watching the game and I have never felt like that, not even during the blowouts of years past. The only reason they shove so much extra crap into this broadcast is so the NFL and the ad monkeys can make a gazillion dollars off of everyone
