Super Bowl XL -- OR -- Let's burn down Detroit once and for all !!!
The Super Bowl is in Motown, home of probably the most original and best American music. Yet the goddamn Rolling Stones are doing the half-time show. Forget all that they're too old stuff ... I just don't like them. Mick Jagger has to be one of the ugliest men ever, and their last tour was sponsored by Ameriquest -- a mortgage company. Man, nothing says rebellion like home ownership.
I'm OK with the teams, except that one of the guys next door is a Steelers fan. He has a very annoying habit of stomping on the floor/banging on the walls whenever anything happens. I mean, a 6 yard completion gets the equivalent reaction of a "wide right". And it's not just one bang/stomp, it's 8 or 9. I know I shouldn't be complaining, because I have been known to yell at the TV and even break things during the baseball playoffs, but for the most part I'm not too bad.
I'm also inclined to root against the Steelers because people have started talking about them using words like "destiny". What a ridiculous idea that a team other than the ones I follow can be destined for anything. And are there two nicknames more over-used than "Big Ben" and the "Bus"? The guy touches the ball 15 times a game and basically rolls down the field, yet I have to listen about how he has "great feet" -- give me a fucking break.
Is there even an animal called a seahawk or is it made up?
Beth thinks that the Colts should be called the "Horses" and that Denver should have to either pick a new mascot or be called the "Mares".
Detroit is probably the worst city in America, yet they get a Super Bowl. I hate this nonsense that they won't play the Super Bowl outdoors in a cold climate. Bullshit. Everybody loves football played in the elements. Is it New York or Chicago's fault that Pasadena has a monopoly on sunshine and moderate temperatures?
