For those that will at least be watching; who do you WANT to win?

(Edited by joeywade at 3:59 pm on Feb. 1, 2004)

Won't be watching.

I want the Panthers to win, but I imagine that the Patriots will kick their ass. It will be interesting to see how much better the Pats are when they aren't playing a playoff game in frigid New England. All in all, I would have picked any of the remaining AFC teams over any NFC team in the Super Bowl.

Woohoo panthers! I wish I was pulling for the Titans, but the Panthers are a close second for me. Charlotte is my second home and I passed that stadium everyday this summer. MMMM I can't wait for the salsa and beer...

I must have flipped channels or something, because I had to watch the 1999 Super Bowl halftime show with a bunch of old piece-of-shit Kid Rock songs and Janet Jackson. It must have been a history of how the halftime show sucks, because they showed some other Janet Jackson performance from around '90 or '91. And, if they're going to lip synch, I wish they just wouldn't even wear mics. I hate that they try to fool people when it's obvious that they're all bad at lip synching. I'd rather have a marching band or analysis for the entire halftime. Other than the actual game and two or three funny commercials, I hate the Super Bowl. Give me the regular season anyday.

And as for Phil Simms being one of the commentators for the SUPER BOWL, now was a bad time for the suits to start smoking crack. Don't even get me started on Gumble.

Well that just blows. I was so excited for the Panthers...boooo on being greedy and trying to get those 2 point conversions. Oh well...hopefully next year it will be the Titans.

As far as the commercials-I was a bit disappointed. I missed the donkey/clydesdale commercial I was looking forward to, and the others were just ok. However, did anyone see the EdSouth/America commercial? That was my brother playing the Star-Spangled Banner. woohoo!!

I figured that the Patriots would win, but I didn't think that it would be that close. My prediction was 28-13 Patriots. Damn New England. I actually thought that the Panthers were going to eventually win after they scored that last touchdown. Oh well.

My thoughts exactly! Never in a million years would I have ever guessed the panthers would have kept it that close.

As for the commercials, they blew chuncks!!! I was pissed off that bud light or whoever didn't show one of those "leon can't do it all" commercials. And yea, 1/2 time really sucked as well.

AGREED!

It turns out, we were ALL wrong. Even Me.

my roommate intended to roll a joint the size of his leg if the panthers won. i should have liked to see that.

Ok, I officially hate the Patriots. I had $50 on them, but they had to win by more than 7. Couldn't they have tried one bomb for the end-zone (McNair style) instead of the obvious field goal set-up.

Whatever, tonight was all about SURVIVOR BABY! Bye bye Tina. Never really liked you in the first place. GO Rob C. GO. And I'm hoping Richard somehow stays for as long as possible. Just in this one episode he almost rivaled Johnny Fairplay's entire season as "Survivor asshole." Jerri is looking sweet and innocent all of the sudden. 99% of you have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyway, my excitement for this season of Survivor is off the charts!

So, what about Janet Jackson's nipple?

If he decides to give the Panthers a moral victory, you know how to PM me.

Instead of playing the spread, you should have played some of those crazy Las Vegas bets, like how many times Dumble and Simms would say referee Ed Hockuling's (sp?) name during the fucking game. That was goddamn gratuitous.

Shoulda Woulda Coulda

Some observations on Super Bowl XXXVIII:

-This afternoon, I was watching ESPN2, where they had the NFL Films Super Bowl specials for each of the Super Bowls. Watching the one from SB XXXIV was a really emotional experience for me. This was the first time that I've watched a significant amount of footage from that game since about summer of 2000, and it really stirred me up. I'm not ashamed to admit that I got kind of choked up and almost shed a tear watching that last play. Still so very heartbreaking.
-Gumbel/Simms are definitely my least favorite NFL broadcasting team. Although Madden certainly gets on my nerves sometimes, I'd rather have the Monday Night crew than Gumbel and Simms. Hell, I'd take some of those third and fourth tier CBS teams over those two. I think my favorite broadcast team is the ESPN Sunday night crew - Patrick, Theismann and Maguire.
-I thought the commercials were a little below average, not horrible, but not as good as they've been in the past. Did anyone else find it astonishing how many cars were unveiled? It's like, not enough just to kick off a new ad campaign during the Super Bowl, now you have to unveil a whole new car! One of those cars - the new Ford GT - looks pretty amazing.
-Ed Hochuli is ripped. Hulding (flex). Furst down (thrust).
-At the end of the first quarter, Jake Delwhatever had completed 3 passes for 1 total yard. Yikes.
-The halftime show was bad, even by cheesy Super Bowl standards. I'm glad I was not the only one who noticed that (besides UofH marching band's rendition of "The Way You Move") there was not a song from the new millenium performed until Justin Timberlake came onstage at the very end. Kid Rock played the two hits from when he first blew up two albums ago, Puff Daddy played "Mo Money Mo Problems" (hello, 1997), and Janet Jackson played some shit from Rhythm Nation (hellllooooo, 1990). All I can say is someone must've owed her a BIG favor. Oh yeah, and then at the end of the show, her right boob flopped out. Was that intentional? If not, hahahahahahahaha. If so, that seems a little risque for prime time television on CBS, doesn't it?
-Did anyone actually see the streaker?
-I was definitely rooting for the Panthers. They remind me alot of the 1999 Titans. Plus, I picked them to win, and I like to be right. But they lost. Barely. All in all, it was a pretty exciting Super Bowl.

Janet's boob was definitely intentional, although I'm sure Justin and Janet didn't reveal their plan before the event. I mean, he just tore away her shirt way too easily and they acted way too calm for it to have been an accident.

Regarding the streaker incident. I heard that it was a guy dressed in a ref's outfit. He came out to the 50 yard line and stripped as people stood around confused for awhile before chasing him. This is according to Carl, according to Todd (who was at the Superbowl) I think.

YES! I have always liked them, but about mid-way through this season, I decided that they should broadcast EVERY major football game on TV, Monday Night included. They are at least TWICE as good as any broadcast team that Fox or CBS could put together.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, this marks the umpteenth year that the team I've been rooting for has lost. I cannot for the life of me remember the last time a Super Bowl has gone my way. And yes, the ESPN crew kicks the ass of all other crews (except maybe Monday Night Football with Madden). Me and RD had a huge dicussion about how CBS and Fox sucks the wang compared to those two networks.

Somehow I missed the entire boob thing. I did watch halftime, but I must have just been talking or something and didn't even know about it until I went to bed listening to talk radio. hmpf.

If it was an accident, why was she wearing jewelry on her nip?

Drudge Report

I guess I'm pretty excited about Survivor All-Stars, too, mostly because I'll get to watch people from the first season again. That season was the best (read: the only season I really watched).

Unfortunately, the Super Bowl party where I was did not approve of watching Survivor after the game, so I guess I'll just have to catch it next time.

Go Rudy!

So you rooted for the Raiders last year? Boooooooooo!

You forgot to mention the naked Irish jig he danced. Seriously. My aforementioned friend saw it from the 9th row of the 50 yard line. A Patriot apparently knocked the shit out of the guy.

Janet's boob was awesome! Damn CBS for cutting away so fast. That almost salvaged the piece of shit that was the half-time show.

Oh, yeah... Go Patriots!!!

I watched Queer Eye.

i didnt know that janet had christmas star nipples

exactly

I too am excited about survivor all stars! There are very few shows I routinely watch on T.V. and this will be one of them. I watched the 1st two but got tired of it after that. There are some people on here from the first one that should make all stars fun to watch. As soon as Rudy's out, I'll prolly quit watching.

Lucky for you, there is an encore presentation of the first episode Tuesday night. Where did you end up watching the Super Bowl?

Sweet!

I watched it at Natalina's.

I'm so angry that I missed the comedy of the half-time show, since I was completely in the dark for the first half of today. Oh well...I watched three episodes of Angel instead and was pleased...
