Official Super Bowl Thread?!

I missed Janet Jackson

I didn't read through the game thread, but is it safe to assume Partial placed the blame for this loss solely on the shoulders of Warner and the Cardinal offense? After all, if they had scored more than a measly 23 points, the defense never would have been in the precarious position of being expected to hold a lead with 2.5 minutes left.

Holmes catch is being touted as "The Greatest in Super Bowl History".

David Tyree didn't have a long time in the sun with his grab last year. He didn't win the game, but that was a helluva grab he made, too.

I think the Giants win goes down as the greatest SB game, based on the big upset. Was this one the most exciting?, yeah maybe. Two great games, for sure.

Good performance from the 'ol Boss.

I thought the commercials were the only thing that was even mildly dissappointing.

I need a last second win for the Packers to top these two great games.

Why not? Warner threw an INT that was returned for a TD. That was a ten, possibly 14 point turn around. That they stayed in the game following that was remarkable. The number of teams that win following an INT returned for TD is somewhere around 10% or less, if I remember correctly. It was a devastating mistake.

I think Nickelback orRascal Flats would do a good show.

I would like to see Nickelback.

Negative.

Holy shit 1000 times no. Might as well put Buck Cherry.

they suck hard

i thought the ads were overall very horrible this year. seems they were just trying way to hard

I thought Bruce was outstanding and was the best halftime show I can remember at the SB. Say what you want about his vocal stylings, but the man is a performer.

This sums up the halftime show the best. This is by Matthew J Darnell over at Yahoo!

There's not a single performer on the planet who would please everyone as the selection to provide the Super Bowl's halftime entertainment. Not one. There's not even a group of people that everyone would be happy with.

You could have Bruce Springsteen out there giving Aretha Franklin a piggyback ride as she held one of the Jonas brothers in her arms like a baby, while Toby Keith, the Plain White T's, Barbra Streisand, Andrea Bocelli, R. Kelly and Miley Cyrus (okay, maybe it's a bad idea to pair up those last two) did the hokey-pokey on the other side of the stage, all while the ghost of Tupac hovered over everyone ... and someone like my dad would still say, "I guess that was okay, but where was John Prine?"

Next year will be a country music themed one, IMO. It may very well be a couple of artists performing together. It's been a while since they've had a country star there.

I sure was hoping to see the Cardinals win this game, but they blew it. They had over 100 yards in penalties and most were stupid mistakes. That defense reminded me of last years Packers defense...couldn't contain when it needed to. That INT by Warner was very costly, but yet didn't necessarily cost them the game. Now we will have an offseason wondering if two old farts, Warner and Favre, will come back.

[Freak Out]

Hell of a game....some horrible penalties by the Cards for sure....and I'm not sure why they changed up the defense on that last drive...but that was one hell of a drive by Big Ben and company at the end. The throw and catch at the end was a thing of beauty.

[Zool]

Think of that TD at the end of the first half. If that goes the other way, the Cards are prolly champions of the NFL. How weird would that be? That would be like the Seahawks having won a Superbowl.

oh that was massive. you're looking at a minimum of a 10 point swing and maybe a 14 point swing just with that one play. plus arizona was going to get the ball right back at the start of the second half

it would have been a totally different game i think
