   Dredging up my locally famous kiss of death, I wore my cheese hat so the Steelers’d win. Pretty good game, though.

   The football Gods will not let the Steelers win until they dump Big Ben.

   Last year’s game was much better, though, in my humble, very objective opinion. 🙂

   We’ve been lucky with Super Bowls lately. I remember so many ridiculous blowouts growing up, but the last six or seven have all been really tight games. Even the relatively-boring Patriots/Panthers game got good in the second half. (I know – Jake Delhomme and the Panthers were actually in a Super Bowl. It seems like a Madden joke or something.)

   I annoyed the Steelers partisans at my shindig by saying that the big secret subplot in this game was Ben Roethlisberger’s tendency to get the yips in tight spots. He’s won a lot of games with terrible passer ratings because the running game and defense are good, and keep him close enough to eventually shake it off and toss a few big passes (like in the last two Super Bowls). Not this time.

   Congrats to the Packers and Aaron Rodgers, who’s been through a lot to get here.

   Can’t they play five-out-of-nine or something. No more football until August, or maybe September when the colleges start. Two months to baseball and the start of the desert heat.

   /Depression rocks Tucson.

   The Super Bowl is like Game 7 of the World Series, Yojimbo, only about a hundred times bigger. 🙂

   Notice how the residents of Green Bay didn’t tear up the town after the game, or at least no reports yet, like some other cosmopolitan cities?

    What is there to tear up in Green Bay, MD? 🙂

    Seriously, where does that still happen?

    Besides, cheese has all those happy endorphins in it. Or something. Physically impossible to maliciously destroy something after delicious cheese injestion.

    Cheese and beer. Good beer.

    Come on Rob, what’s to destroy in Detroit and they still did, Pittsburgh had the riot police ready to go but they weren’t in the mood.

    I was fine if either team won, but that national anthem debacle gave me pause.

    Just seemed unnecessary to congratulate a city for NOT rioting even though NOT rioting is the norm.

    I don’t know if that’s true everywhere Rob, they did a number in LA last year after the Lakers won. My point was that Green Bay would never tear things up.
