Superbowl Thoughts

I'll admit I'm not a football fan, but Michelle was out of town, and I had the house and couch all to myself. I rounded up some snacks and watched the Superbowl.
Cool game tonight! Here's some random thoughts:
- Were people booing Muhsin Muhammad when the team captains were introduced? Please correct me if I'm wrong on that and it was like a "Bruuuuce!" thing for The Boss.
- What an exciting game! Close and lots of action.
- People seem to play football in Florida during rainfall about as well as they drive in Florida during rainfall - Badly!
- I respect the camera men all the more when they get wiped out!
- It was fun for a while to watch the Colts offense just bounce off of the Bears defensive guys. Those guys are huge! Run run run! *Bonk!* Fall down!
- How much would it suck to be Rex Grossman right now? How bad do you gotta fowl up in a Superbowl?
- Can Manning shut the hell up for once and just throw the ball? OK, I get that's like his thing but it gets a little obnoxious to watch. Although, you can't argue with success - or a trophy.
- Two African American head coaches battling it out in the Superbowl (not to mention an African American half-time show headliner). Finally. It aint over yet, though, people.
Lastly, when I hear stories of people like Tony Dungy, who has never raised his voice or sworn in front of his players (except when saying he would go on The Best Damn Sports Show Ever). I'm inspired. I think, "Gee, I should be like that guy." They say he commands respect not because he inspires fear, but because his players don't want to let him down. What a cultivator! Good work, Dungy.

Nope, they weren't booing him. His nickname is Moose (at least phoenetically), so your "Bruuuce" comparison is "dead-on, balls accurate" (can you name that movie?).
As for how much would it suck to be Rex Grossman, who cares? He went to UF - watching a gator lose the super bowl and looking bad do it *always* makes me happy. :)
My Cousin Vinnie, but I didn't know; I had to look it up. I need to watch that one again.
As always, I love your FSU take on things, Jeff!
Are you saying I look at the world through garnet & gold colored glasses? If you *are* saying that, you're right! :)
I was actually rooting for Indy, anyway. Tony Dungy got screwed in Tampa. They went 10-6 in 2000, 9-7 in 2001 and Dungy got fired. The next year, Gruden takes 'em all the way to the Super Bowl and wins. I think they gave up on Dungy way too soon. Or didn't give him the freedom to do what he needed as coach. So I'm glad he won - I still view that 2002 as Dungy's team. They at least won more consistently under Dungy than they have under Gruden.
And "My Cousin Vinny" is still one of my favorites. V and I were quoting the other day "I shot the clerk?" to each other...

Alternate Suberbowl thought: If that bowl has brownie mix in it, I wanna lick it!
