I have two squares in the Super Bowl pool from work. My numbers are 3 (Pittsburg) and 0 (Arizona), and 8 (Pit) and 4 (Ari). I don't have a dog in this hunt, however, I am marginally for the Cardinals.
Woohoo, Steelers 3 and Cardinals 0 at end of first quarter (my numbers). Made up for some of the pay cut I took last month!
- Oh my, the Budweiser commercial with the horse fetching, after watching the dog get praised, was too funny! Okay, the
- The second Budweiser commercial, about the circus "lady friend", was pretty good too.
- The new Star Trek movie; can't wait for it
- What a gyp, Holder should have gotten in instead of getting upended at the 1. At least Patrick made it the next play.
- Breaston made a nice 35 yard return after Pit punted. Alright, so after that nice start, Cards couldn't do anything.
- I've always hated ETrade commercials, and this one is no different.
- Woohoo, interception just before the 2 minute warning.
- Teleflora commercial was pretty good, with the talking, insulting flowers.
- Nice hesitation by Taylor to make the tackle miss and get the 1st down.
- Cheetos - cute but not a big winner of the ratings most likely (Cheetos is one of my favorite "chips").
- Interception that went all the way for a touchdown - sucks, but gotta admire the guy for the 100 yard return (longest play in Super Bowl history).
End of second quarter: Pit - 17, Ari - 7
WS got the 3D glasses for watching the specials during half-time. They made a couple of things look kinda cool, but for the most part, didn't do anything for me.
We don't watch Heroes, but the ad was cute. L'd our AO at LMAO, even though we don't watch any of the shows.
MM, MM, M - Homemade lasagne and home made Italian Cheese bread make a great half-time dinner.
Start of second half:
- That was one stupid Coke commercial
- I thought the Bridgestone commercial was stupid until I saw the very end with the stripped moonbuggy.
- Monster.com ad was pretty cute too.
- Fourth and 6, instead of a fumble - cool. And, Arizona has won both challenges, so they get a third if needed.
- Another Bud commercial - about Jake's ancestory, cute.
- Doesn't look like the Cardinals can get their stuff together in this game.
- A new Transfirner's movie - another movie that I want to watch, but will not get around to.
End of 3rd quarter: Pit - 20, Ari - 7
- 10 minutes to go in the game and Arizona suddenly relizes that this is the last game of the seaso and that they might want to get serious.
- The Pepsi commercial was even stupider than Coke's, if that is even possible.
- A safety on an offensive holding call in the endzone, negating a 20 yard catch - all that we were hoping for. 16-20, Pittsburg still ahead, but Cards get a chance.
- Arizona touchdown by Fitzgerald makes the score 20-24 (Cards) - WOOHOO!
- Beautious catch by Holmes of Pittsburg for a touchdown, for a 4 point lead with 35 seconds left.
- Well, that was a sucky ending - not that the Cards lost (which did suck), but that it ended on a fumble.
Amazilngly, from both my and WS's squares (his work has their own pool), the owners of our companies won the final scores.
Congrats to the Pittsburg Steelers on their capturing the Lombardi Trophy!
Thanks for the recap--much better than my having to suffer through the hours that it takes a game to play out! (I was having more fun doing laundry and ironing--HH had no time to do it before he left!) HH was undoubtedly on duty and may have missed the game. The Red Cross communications people were supposed to start setting up a Communications - Emergency Response Vehicle (C-ERV) at the Disaster Relief Operation Headquarters, yesterday, and it may include a TV--set up to watch the weather and news. The HQ workers might have been able catch a score now-and-then, at least.
The C-ERVs, though expensive, are a godsend when power and/or communications are out in a disaster area. They set up wireless telephone and computer equipment, in addition to the aforementioned possibility of a TV.
