I stopped right after the interception with 12 minutes remaining, the one returned for a TD by Indy. Obviously game over.

Time to go to work soon...

Hagwon work schedule is darn convenient for all sorts of sports events!

Just saw an ad saying the Police are reuniting at the Grammy's next week. Cool. Sting has blown since the group broke up.

I love watcing games that have two teams I don't give a toss about...so much easier to enjoy the good plays by both teams.

I like how MBCESPN puts on the highlights post game... summed up right nice (just wish we got the 'mercials)

!Shoosh,

Ryst

So who's the new MVP of the Superbowl?

Manning by default? he certainly did not have a great game. Average, at best.

Good game. Rain made it more fun (to watch.)

I think that was overuled, and the Colt's owner and coach gave the award to Jesus (which probably played well among Korean Christians who tuned in...)

Last night, I watched the Six Nations clash between Wales and Ireland. Pure class. Dennis Hickey is a star.

Out of curiousity, I got up this morning and watched the first half of the "Super" Bowl. 4 or 5 turnovers, a missed extra point, sloppy special teams on the opening kickoff, and rather inept offesive all around. This is the Championship match? What a load of rubbish.

I'm going back to bed.


Its Dennis Hickie Very Happy

Did you watch the match online? If so hook me up for the rest of the 6 nations. The superbowl was great today. Great to see Manning win it, although I thought Sanders should have been MVP.

Comparing sports in this manner is a waste of time. The more i watch any sport te more I appreciate it. Also the last Rugby World Cup final wasn't exactly a thriller. Really important games are often not the best games.

I knew Manning would be the MVP. but part of me was hoping Dominic Rhodes (I call him the new Tony Dorsett) would have slid in there with his 100 yds + running game, as he is from my home town of Abilene, Texas.

That's correct, but I can't quote all their names right now. it's a big football town for sure.

They didn't say that three guys from Abilene were "playing" on the field. Tony Dungy is also from Abilene, and the third guy mentioned I think was connected to the production of the broadcast...

No, no, there were three guys playing between the two teams and Tony Dungy is NOT from Abilene, but I'm too tired to do the research right now. I'm headed downtown (San Jose) to see if I won a Super Bowl square board at a local tavern.
