The first game of the season
That I watched. I caught the Superbowl last night. I noticed what I thought was booing too for a player named Muhammed. Glad to hear they were yelling his nickname Moose.
Also, the commercials sucked just like last year. Well, except that one Bud-light commercial where the couple driving pick up the hitchhiker. That was funny.
The announcers made it a point to note that special legal action or some such was needed to let Tank Johnson play. See, Tank has a habit of getting arrested. He’s been arrested twice: once for assaulting a police officer and once for illegal possession of guns. The announcer pointed out that Tank had 6 unlicensed firearms and 500 rounds of ammo. That’s not a crime in most places but he lives in the city of Chicago. The announcer pointed out the gun crime but not the fact that Tank tried to assault some police officers. Since he’s an important football star, they make special arrangements for him so he can go play football. Isn’t that nice. I wonder if your average Chicagoan could do that? Like you and me, only better.
Anyway, glad the Colts won. Actually, that’s not true. I’m glad Chicago lost. No Superbowl Shuffle this year, eh?

The Bear who was chewing gum during the National Anthem garnered my first string of cuss words of the day.
Not a big Colts fan, but I’m glad Archie’s boy did good.

Big Peyton (and Manning family) fan.
And the fact that Peyton can win the big one by beating a gator is just icing on the cake.
Prince rocked!
and when they made the point of mentioning the 500 rounds tank johnson was arrested for, my father in law looked at me and says – oh so matter of factly – I bet you have at least 5000 rounds on the other side of that wall (that wall being the wall the TV was on – behind it being my laundry/utility/reloading room).
yep.
so glad chicago lost.

OH, c’mon, the K-Fed commercial was classic! And the Grand Theft Auto one was good, too.
(But yes, on the whole, they sucked.)
And I didn’t want the Colts to win, because we already saw too damn much of Peyton manning in commercials for everything from credit cards to cell phones to douches before he ever actually won anything. Now he’s going to be insufferable.
