Super Sunday


Thoughts and observations about Super Bowl Ex-Ell-Eye-Eye…

1. Tom Brady is handsome, athletic, articulate, humble, wealthy, and has a super model for a girlfriend. Other than that, he really doesn’t have much going for him.

2. This was the first Super Bowl played on a tray. That’s right folks, the field at the
University of Phoenix Stadium is a giant steel tray that can be moved out of one end of the stadium. There’s a lot of very interesting structural engineering that went into the design of the tray, but who wants to hear about that right now?

3. The architecture of the stadium is supposed evoke a barrel cactus. I have been to the Sonoran Desert many times and have never seen a stainless steel barrel cactus.

4. Is the University of Phoenix a real university?

5. In preparation for the game I purchased two 52 oz.
Bubba Kegs .

6. The best commercial that I saw was the Cavmen/Wheel ad. Very funny stuff.

7. Eli Manning looks like he is 19 years old. The kid can play though…

8. Tom Petty, who does not look like he is 19, can also play…

9. To all football announcers, everywhere: It will always depend on the spot. 100% of the time. No matter what...

Is The Univ. of Phoenix a real university? Well, sort of... It is a 21st century scolastic program with no campus and NO FOOTBALL team. It has a multi-million dollar football stadium, at least for $154.5 million they can call it theirs for the next 20 years! I guess that is kind of like a non-extant investment company with their name on Mile-High Stadium!

I saw only a bit of the cavemen commercial, but not enough to understand it. It was for Geico, I'm sure. I liked the Bud horse and dog the best of what I saw. Second was the Audi/godfather spinoff. I saw quite a few really dumb ones that I won't mention. We all saw them.

Eli was impressive as were the rest of the Giants. How many parents can say they have TWO sons with Super Bowl rings and MVP awards! Way to go Archie and wife!!!

No question about it - the Mannings are the first family of football.
