I'm a football fan. I look forward to the NFL season evey year. The Super Bowl is always a bit bitter sweet. It's the big game but it's also the end of the season. No more football. ~sniffle, sniffle~ Luckily the preseason starts earlier and earlier every year.
Anywho here's a few of my thoughts on the spectacle that was SuperBowl XLII.
1. Did anyone notice that the pregrame was an hour longer than the actual game? That's just the official pregame. I'm not even counting the specials that were aired before the pregame. At least all that build up and hype did lead to one of the best games ever.
2. Why is Ryan Seacrest omnipresent? It's bad enough he's on American Idol umpteen times a week. He's on E network. He's the New Year's Eve guy now. He's on the radio. Why in the name of all that is good and sacred is he at my Super Bowl? Can't I have one precious thing that is safe from his vile clutches? I can't stand that hideously smug grin on his face. I just want to slap it off.

Alicia Keys was killin her pre-game performance. It was awesome. She used to be stuck behind that piano, but now she's out front with dancers too. She's upped her showmanship. She was looking pretty damn fierce. Gentlemen, you had to appreciate the girl's classy but very snug ensemble. She was very sexy without even showing skin (Hear that Star-tittie Janet!)
4. The Declaration of Independence portion of the pregame. (I really want to cuss Fox the eff out for this BS. But I'm tying to keep the blog clean.) WTF! Fox can we stop the GD right wing propaganda machine for one GD day so we can just watch some GD football for eff sakes! Now I have to add to my political causes the separation of football and state.
5. Girl crush alert #2
I want to be Pam Oliver. I want to be that fine and still be able to hold my own with the serious football talk. She's so cool I googled her so I could find out more about her. That's what led to the bombshell of the night. Do you know that Pam Oliver is 47 freaking years old! Daaaaamn. What virgin blood is she drinking to keep her so young and fabulous? I know black don't crack, but either Pam is using some supernatural forces or she has that serious Oprah make up. Anybody have HD? Does Pam look all tore up in HD? Is she really human after all?
6. What a game! I wanted the Patriots to win. I just like the team. I like Tom Brady. I wanted Junior Seau to finally win one. No, they didn't go 19-0. But they were still a great team. They are great in the clutch. I dare you to to tell me that after that final Giants TD you didn't think the Pats would somehow come back to to tie it up. They've done it time after time. But it wasn't meant to be. The Giants were so hungry, so fearless. They had nothing to lose and they played like it. The Patriots had everything to lose and you could tell they felt the pressure. What a game! What a season!

When I got out of the shower this morning Ryan Seacrest was standing there in my bathroom holding a microphone. True story.
You know, I wasn't a fan of A. Key's outfit in a fashion sense. As a guy, however, that's a different story.
Allow me to use the colorful metaphors that you have an aversion to using:
The Declaration of Independence pregame bullshit pissed me off. I'm so fucking sick of this overly-patriotic "Worship-America-or-else-you're-a-fucking-terrorist shit that it makes me want to kill people. So fucking what the team is named the Patiots. I fucking hate nationalism for nationalism's sake. Thank you. Fuck, shit, ass, damn, hell.
Ummm... I was uncontrollably pleased by the fact that the Giants won. It hurt my soul as a Cowboys fan, but I appreciated the way they had been playing the last month and how hard they fought in Week 17 (the so-called "meaningless" game against the Pats). I admired the fight in that team and gained a little respect for them. Glad to see them finally get another one after 18 years.
But that was seriously one of the most exciting endings ever. That 4th quarter was amazing. Did you see that touchdown catch that Ryan Seacrest made?
Speaking of eternal youth, how about Vanessa Williams (Wilhemina, Ugly Betty) -- this woman absolutely refuses to age! How do you look THAT good almost 25 years after your pageant days and a few kids later? Amazing...
