Super Bowl XLI Recap
Some general notes after the conclusion of Super Bowl XLI…
- Favorite Super Bowl commercial? For me, it was a toss-up between the Career Builder “jungle office” ads, and the K-Fed Nationwide auto ad. Give it up to the guy for embracing the whole ‘now that guy will be working at Burger King’ joke & laughing all the way to the bank.
- Official MVP? Peyton Manning. The real MVP? Joseph Addai. 19 carries, 10 receptions for 143 total yards. He was the go-to guy all game long for the Colts.
- As for Rex Grossman? Cue up the Comic Book guy from the Simpsons; “Worst Super Bowl Quarterback - Ever!”
- Colts gameplan before opening kick-off: we’re not going to play in fear of one man! Let’s kick to Devin Hester and see what happens.
- Colts gameplan after the opening kick-off: ok, screw that. Hey, Adam - keep the ball away from number 23!
- Worst Super Bowl ad: The GM Robot. Let me get this straight; just over a year after laying off over 30,000 employees, GM decides to spend over $2.5 million dollars for an ad that portrays a robot arm getting laid off and supposedly trying to kill itself? Are you serious?
- Cirque du Soleil pregame show + Prince half-time show equals (cue up Comic Book guy again) “Gayest Super Bowl Entertainment - Ever!”
Where was Janet Jackson’s right nipple when we really needed it?!
- Right now, Hunter Smith is falling asleep muttering, “I could have been the next Tony Romo! Thank you, Rex. Thank you SO much!”
- Unsung hero: Thomas Jones, who took over the Bears running game after Cedric Benson went down, and piled up over 100 yards rushing and a 7.5 yards per carry average. Gotta love that Championship calibur Colts run defense…
- The feel good story of the night, of course; Tony Dungy. He tragically lost his son a year ago, and now he’s the head coach of the World Championship Indianapolis Colts. And from all accounts, one of the greatest gentlemen in pro sports. Congrats, Tony.
And congrats to the entire Indianapolis Colt organization.
And congrats to Indianapolis Colt fans everywhere.
And…congrats to…congrats to…
(nnnnngggggghhhhhhh)
OK, fine - congrats Peyton Manning. You deserve it.
(But I still hate you!)

Hey — enough on the Superbowl. It’s time to move on. I am dissapointed that you are not already posting entries analyzing salary cap situations, the draft, and your preseason power rankings.
