Things ....We Learned......From the Week-end

Super Bowl XLV......is history.

The National Anthem was butchered.......but sung with heart.

The Half -time show......was entertaining and high tech.

The commercials?   Some were cute.  Some were funny.....But the price tag?  No company got their money's worth.


Winners?  Obviously the Green Bay Packers....

Losers?   No one lost.....The Pittsburgh Steelers  played a hell of a game.

And for us fans?


We will now go through withdrawal pains......until the fall....No more football!

From the week-end......things we learned:


This bowl didn't get.....near the coverage we demanded:

A "Super " Mess

They.......meaning the sports media and talking heads were not so nice to the city of Atlanta when 2 inches of ice nearly ruined the party back in 1999.

Fast forward to this year......Super Bowl XLV......in Dallas.

Over 5 inches of snow and ice........roads hazardous.....sheets of ice sliding off the stadium roof injuring several.

Where are......"They" ......now?

Send the Super Bowls back to Miami,  Phoenix,  New Orleans......or Los Angeles....or ....

We'll get more of this:

Dallas stunned by 5 inches of snow; hundreds of flights canceled ahead of game

DALLAS — Seven people were hurt Friday when ice fell off the side of Cowboys Stadium outside Dallas where Sunday's Super Bowl game will be played, the NFL said. The accident followed a storm that dumped 5 inches of snow on roads and runways, complicating Super Bowl travel plans. 

The seven people, reportedly workers preparing for the game, were taken to area hospitals. One was initially reported in critical condition but later said to be stable with a head injury. The other injuries were described as minor.

Prison TV.....Super Bowl Style

At least Plaxico Burress will get to watch the game.

From TMZ. com:

Plaxico -- I'll Watch the Super Bowl From Prison!

2/4/2011 12:20 AM PST by TMZ Staff  

Just a few years ago, Plaxico Burress was playing in the Super Bowl -- this year, the former NY Giants superstar will be allowed to watch the big game from the confines of a NY prison ... TMZ has learned.



According to the Public Information Officer for the New York State Department of Correctional Services, Burress -- who's serving time on gun charges -- has full TV privileges and will be able to enjoy the game in the company of his fellow inmates.

We're told the prison has no plans for an official Super Bowl party ... because it's a PRISON!!!

And with all the talk of Plax signing with an NFL squad when he gets out of the joint in June ... it's possible he could be playing in the big game next year.
