Not only did Janet Jackson reveal something, the NFL did as well. It showed how beautiful this game can be.
From rainbow like deep balls to draws up the middle. From perfect rollouts to evade the pass rush to perfectly timed slant patterns down the middle. From multiple F-bombs on national TV to cheap shots to the opponent’s head. This game was explosive in every way, you couldn’t ask for more. Unfortunately that was my summarization after the game.

Earlier on in the evening as I was sitting there watching the game with my girlfriend, I proclaimed loudly to no one in particular “Man, this game is boring!”

Now you have to understand that it was 0-0 halfway through the 2nd quarter. The game consisted of ‘3 and outs’ and long booming punts (well by Carolina’s punter anyway). So when my girlfriend suggested that I hand over the remote control I obliged thinking that I wasn’t going to miss anything. I can see you guys shaking your heads right now; yes I know I committed a sin. I broke the rule. The rule ‘You never ever hand over the remote control to your girlfriend/wife’. She wanted to watch something more interesting and at that point Oprah in a bathing suit would have been more interesting so I handed over the remote control and she clicked onto ‘Queer eye for the straight guy’. What’s more exciting than watching gay men fawn over a straight guy while making straight and homosexual innuendoes. GROAN!!!!! I might as well of chopped off my cahjones and handed them to her in a jar of formaldehyde.

So as I sat there revising my acceptance speech into the Whipped Hall of Fame I received a heaven sent phone call from my friend Dickie, asking me if I just saw that wicked 39 yd TD throw by Delhomme to Steve Smith. That call from my friend was the thing I needed to snap me out of the ‘Cahjone-less, trance-like state’ that I was in.

I grabbed the remote out of my girlfriend’s hand and switched the channel from that gay-embracing show to the world’s best sporting event (next to World Cup soccer of course), all the while darting laser death stares from my girlfriend.

I watched the remainder of the 1st half, then the halftime peep show and lip synch contest and then the whole second half which was probably the best 2nd half I’ve ever seen in a Super Bowl(Bill vs. Giants included).

When it came down to it, it was all in all a good game. A lot of big plays, a lot of big hits and a lot of enjoyment for me. I can’t wait until next year when the Bills play the Vikings in the Super Bowl, you heard it here first!!!!!

Because I was really busy at work, I wasn’t able to send my Super Bowl picks. I did pick the Pats to win by more than 7 pts so I obviously lost that one. How did you guys do?

Go Bills!!!!!
