That's all I've got. Just thought I'd let you all know how I felt.

Agreed.

American Football or the Football that the rest of the world plays ?

P.S. in any case, can't stand Football or anyother team sports (except Formula 1)

While what you call football is really 'American Football' to Brits, I can only suppose it resembles the same sh1t we get clogging our TV screens over here too.

What I can't quite explain though is how, after a few beers, I somehow assume a self-righteous and newly-found passion for the game while a UK team plays in the World Cup It only happens once every so often so it's not *that* much of a problem and I'm sure there's counselling available that can address it.

Hearing the sports results after the evening news and to learn that Scunthorpe (or whoever) gained a point in the league that day always has me reaching for the remote!

I'm currently waiting for the stupid game to be over with so people here in Houston will stop talking about it.
On the other hand it has been good for business

Right after the game started I paused my TiVo for dinner, go back and do like Replay activated, the reverse commercial skip. The game sure goes by fast at the fasted speed. My favorite commercials so far have been the AOL/American Chopper ones.

Athough you have to admit this years has a few things that catch your eye, from Janet Jackson's breast on TV, to the guy naked and dancing at the start of the second half... Now to see what this half contains.

US Football. For those of you in other parts of the world, rest easy that you're not inundated with the media crush that is Super Bowl Sunday.

Yes. That totally pissed me off. The dancing itself was already over the top with Kid Rock grinding Janet's ass on stage, but the tit thing was totally un-necessary. My 3 year old son was watching at the time. Completely inappropriate for a prime-time major sporting event.

Then CBS had the hypocrisy of censoring out the streaker. I'd rather my son see someone larking around naked in an asexual manner than someone's tit being paraded purely to enhance the spectacle.

Im just pissed the local carrier wasnt broadcasting in HD until 6min before halftime

Was it Super Bowl Sunday today? Gosh darn, I missed it

Woohoo. Boston is so nice when everyone is happy!

Yeah, you should be here in North Carolina... There was a huge audible sigh outside a few minutes ago.

So it's finally over, huh?

Now there's only a month until spring training starts! Of course, we've gotta contend with basketball until then.

Erm, that was Justin Timberlake grinding Janet's ass.

Most 3 year olds I know like tits . Seriously, that wasn't needed. I needed Tivo to even see it tho, it was what 4 frames?

Besides, why would you even watch the halftime show? They ususally bite. I was just too lazy to change the channel.

Oh yeah - PATS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Zeke

Two of the Carolina's professional sporting teams have made it to the finals in the past few years, hockey(Hurricanes) and football (Panthers). Better than dead last I guess...

Too bad we lost the Hornets basketball team though.

Next up? NASCAR y'all.

Note: I do not actually watch NASCAR.

The one half-time show I have seen that didn't suck was U2. I don't think they can top that one.

I was at work during today's game...I would have LOVED to glimpst the breast

I would have LOVED to glimpst the breast

I replayed it on Tivo a few times. It took 3 times before I saw she was wearing a pastie.

I'm sure I will be a statistic tomorrow.

Too bad it was not BritneyS... may have been weird for Justin to be grindin' with her on stage I though, at least for them.

Now that that secret is out, you'll have to post the avi here for sharesies...

Sorry. I was only replaying the live buffer and it was on my parent's unhacked Tivo anyway.

I'm sure one will surface soon enough.

I didn't save it off my Replay either, not really worth saving. It'll be all over the Internet tomorrow if it isn't already. Just dial up alt.binaries.multimedia.naked.boobies.of.aging.no-longer-relevant.pop.queens in your favorite Usenet client.

I'm now embarrassed for even wanting a copy... good thing I'm wearing a mask eh?

Well, whatever. It wasn't really great other than it being on primetime local television.

Truth

I'm now embarrassed for even wanting a copy... good thing I'm wearing a mask eh?

Bah, don't be embarassed. I freely admit to making liberal use of my Replay's "instant replay" and slow-motion controls... But aside from shock value, you didn't miss all that much. The very fact that she felt she had to show her boobs on the boob tube to make an impression is a sad commentary on society in general, and the pop music world in particular.

Speaking of which, aren't we due for a musical revolution of some sort? We're well into the '00s here and there's been not even a hint of any new trend in music. If I had been knocked into a coma in 1998 and woke up today, I wouldn't notice anything new about today's popular music. There doesn't even seem to be anything going on "out on the fringes" that's poised to explode. Has the music industry just completely stagnated? Where's the next British Invasion or Punk or Grunge or whatever to wash away this tripe?

And yes, I asked this same question a year or so ago... It still boggles my mind that nothing's changed.

Where's the next British Invasion or Punk or Grunge or whatever to wash away this tripe?

Some people would argue that it's the return of "real" country and roots music -- the sort of music you heard in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. Personally, I think it's all about fragmentation now, and it will be that way forever more. I somehow discovered old jazz music, and now that's my thing. A buddy of mine got into classical music, and now that's his thing. My fiancee is somehow mired in the world of 80's pop music, and she seems quite happy to stay there. Kids these days... I'm not really sure. Most of the ones I meet are also into old jazz music, but I'm pretty sure they're nowhere near a representative sample.

On my last European trip, I found that MTV Europe was playing far stranger and weirder material than you'd ever get over here. Maybe some of that has a hope. I don't think I'll ever quite wipe brain clear of Chicks on Speed's "We Don't Play Guitars". It was like flashing back to the early beginnings of MTV.

Now that that secret is out, you'll have to post the avi here for sharesies...

*Not for work* (I suppose)

Video

And I swear I only found them because my girlfriend and my friend's girlfriend wanted to know if there actually was a pastie on there. We couldn't tell because Cox cable seriously sucks and the video quality was like watching football through a snowglobe.

Oh, and even though I didn't really care who won, I was upset that Carolina lost. Maybe it's because I'm a Redskins fan so I root for Stephen Davis and the underdog, which is the Panthers on both counts

"It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime."
