Thoughts on the Super Bowl

My thoughts on the Super Bowl:


The Bears got a kickoff return for a TD, and still couldn't make it a game. How ugly would it have been without Hester's return?

The squib kicking was a joke, they could have kicked it out of bounds with the same result. It was like intentionally walking Howard for the rest of the game after a first inning home run.

The first quarter was an awesome disaster.

I've never seen two sets of back to back fumbles in the same game before.

The angle coming out of Rex Grossman's hand on passes over 10 yards is greater than 45 degrees.

The 12 men on defense challenge was a little strange, but how didn't they have a camera angle on it? This is the Super Bowl for heaven's sake.

They need to redo the challenge rules to allow unlimited correct challenges. Regardless of if the Colts were right about the first one, they were right about the second one, and should have been granted another challenge if they needed it.

That ref that overturned the sideline catch before it was overturned by the booth is a tool. He didn't have position to make that call or overturn the ref who did.

I know it was raining, but the Colts initial reaction to winning the game was extremely bland, at least from what the TV showed.

Brian Urlacher seemed to point his finger at someone else after every Colts first down. Grow up.

The Bears defense has not been dominating since about week 12.

The need to get rid of the stupid K balls. The botched extra point, and bad snap on another Colts FG could have decided the game. All so there are less touchbacks on kickoffs? Please.

GoDaddy.com paid $6.4 Million to show the same stupid commercial twice...not that I was ever going to visit the site anyway, but now I am boycotting.

Did I miss the memo that everyone was supposed to have talking animals in their commercials?

Football announcers, by and large, are terrible. Merrill Reese should have done the play by play with Harry Kalas assisting.

10,000 pieces of Bears Super Bowl XLI Champions merchandise is shipping out to Africa tomorrow.

The Bears proved that the NFC was absolutely terrible this year.

Rex Grossman will not start more than 5 games for the rest of his career.

Brett Favre is coming back. The Packers were decent this year among a slew of injuries. If they draft all defense, with a few key signings, they have the players to make an impact next season.

The Eagles would have made for a better Super Bowl.

And how much did that snicker commercial with the two mechanics kissing SUCK!

A. It wasn't done in a funny way
B. I didn't want to see that
C. Snickers are still a good chocolate bar

Overall, I felt like I was watching a high school football game with all those fumbles. Grossman is a freakin joke!

Yea, the weather, the play of Grossman, the commercials...all sucked this year. I didn't even bother watching the pregame or halftime shows either.
