To see one of my favorite players holding the Lombardi trophy is a wonderful site!!
Can you tell I'm excited... I'll tell you what that was TOO CLOSE for my comfort!! I thought for sure I was going to have a stroke as the Card's were in the lead AND in control of the ball with the last 2 minutes of the game.
Another point of interest... Santonio Holmes is the FIRST EVER Ohio State player to become a Super Bowl MVP!! CONGRATS #10!!!
Oh & let's not forget the record setting interception 100 yard return by James Harrison. That was spectacular!! (Longest play ever in the Super Bowl!)
And what about them commercials... My favorite was the "Fetch" by Budweiser! (Recession not seen in the prices for them. 30 seconds was $3 million!)
Had enough yet??
Now it's time for.....
NASCAR!!!!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!
WOO HOO!!!
Yeah, they are the 2009 AFC Champions... They beat the Baltimore Ravens (aka: formerly known as the Cleveland Browns) 23 to 14.
We were sweating it there for a few minutes... but just when we were, defensive player Troy Polamalu intercepted a pass & took it in for a TD!!
I mainly watched for the commercials... however they were for the most part lame!
I laughed for the Bridgestone Screaming Squirrel... If you didn't see it... well, you have a chance... CLICK HERE!
Then there were the movie premieres. But I guess those didn't count because they're not in the "line up" of ALL THE SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS. (You can view all of them AND vote by clicking that link!)
The movie premiers included a new Pixar film called Wall-E. It looks cute... but it's not out until June 27th. Why waist the money to premier it during the Super Bowl? To me, that's throwing money out the window when it doesn't even make the list to vote on for funniest / best commercial!
What about the game you ask? Well, with 1 to 2 seconds left on the clock, the fans & the teams rushed the field... but the Giants still had to take a knee! What a mess!
Oh, yeah... GIANTS WIN!!! Woo Hoo!!!! CONGRATULATIONS NEW YORK GIANTS!!! 17 to 14!!
This was one year I was rooting for a NFC team to win! Mainly because I wanted someone to knock the Pats down a peg or 2!!!
Also, because I wonder what the history is of 2 brother quarterbacks winning back to back! To think, Eli was not that good earlier this year!!
Maybe next year it can be BOTH Mannings in the Super Bowl!! Wouldn't that be something! Talk about history making!!
I am actually shocked... New York Giants beat the Green Bay Packers in OT to win the NFC Championship & advance to the Super Bowl to play the 18 - 0 New England Patriots.
Well, now I really don't know who to root for! Usually the AFC team is who I'd like to see win... However, I feel that one team needs to knock New England down... And kind of happy that Eli made... just would have been even better if he'd be playing against Peyton. Oh well... I'll keep an open mind.
Who will you be cheering for???
