Condi Rice on ESPN pre-game show -- I would just love to see her dress down a bit. Who wears a suit to a football game? I saw her at a U2 show this fall, same thing. Loosen up. You've got style, use it.
Opening montage -- Ummm, why is Harrison Ford reciting Dr. Seuess? And furthermore, why does he look like a pirate? And WHY, when they started the really cool Road to Forty ads with Don Cheadle this season, did they not finish with an opening montage based on that?
National anthem -- Why is Aaron Neville there? Just let Aretha in her chinchilla coat belt the hell out of the song. Neville's talent was completely wasted.
MVP introductions -- Tom Brady, what were you thinking with that jacket?!?!?!Velvet is for little girls under the age of 10 and drunken secretaries at the office Christmas party.
Coin toss -- Note the absence of Bettis. No way Cowher was going to let him mess that up again.
Half-time show -- Men should never wear sequins. Especially 65-year-old men. Same goes for spandex pants. Did anyone find this entertaining? Even Charlie Watts looks embarassed to be there.
MI-3 movie trailer -- Suprisingly, I find myself wanting to see this. I hate Tom Cruise but I'll watch Phillip Seymour Hoffman in anything.
The game itself -- I was actually finding it hard to concentrate on the game. Too busy making sure my husband wasn't puking or alternately passing out from the stress of watching the Steelers largely play like #### but maintain a lead.
I think that the refrees who made the wrong call should be fined for every error they made the day of the game. And then maybe they will get correct eyesight and not to make stupid calls in the future. The outcome of the winner was not important to me but the way ref mess up on this game and other they should be accountable for their errors. Remember every eyes don't look at things the same.

On Condi, absolutely right; MI3, have to watch because the first two were good; Stones, learn a new tune and dress age appropriately; BK commercial or bad stage production of veggie tales; beer commercials, I always find entertaining, but Ameriquest had the best two all night.
I think Seattle fans should raise up flags saying SEAWHINERS. If you guys were the refs you would have made every call to help your team and every call to make the Steelers lose, and don't anybody say I'm a steelers fan because I'm not I'm a cowboys fan. I admit the Seahawks beat the Cowboys barely in the regular season with questionable calls as well, but unlike the SEAWHINERS I didn't say the refs, the refs, the refs, cost us the game WHA WHA WHA WHA. They just should have capitalize better on the Steelers mistakes. Your team even said they deserved it better they said they didn't
make enough big plays or was Lofa and Hasselslack lying.
Ummm yeah.. Not a big fan of ANY of the S.B. commercials. You would think G.M./Hummer could do a little bit better than a robot and lizard offspring resulting in a H3. Please tell me for a $2 million price tag, advertising execs would use their expensive time a little better.
call me crazy but I like my guys manly. If he spends more money on his clothes and highlighting his hair than I do (which is a good chunk of change, mind you) I am not interested. In fact, I'm worried.
Anytime Brady looks like a bit of an #### is okay with me.
Burger King? Ridiculous.
Half time show was a knee jerk reaction to the now way anitquated Janet Jackson issue - now they are going with old men - just wrong. Who wannts to see Jagger chicken walking around? Not me.
I think it's interesting that not only PSH took the MI:3 gig, but that Cruise felt the need to add some validity, i.e. PSH, to his movies. Personally I think he is now box office poison - see War of the Worlds and he knew he had to add something, someone to his movies.
There was a game played? I must have dozed. This game was exciting for about 6 minutes. The rest? Quite forgettable.
Half Time Show: Should have been rated NC-17 at the least. I think I'd have to come up with a new rating: NU60 "Not Under 60". That was the worst half time show I've ever seen in my life! What were they thinking. The clothing sucked, the sound sucked even more, AND YES, it got worse, when we saw that God awful, I think he thought he was, DANCING!!! They would have been better off to just play the melody and point the mike to the crowd - they would have gotten it better!!! I think I'd rather watch Janet embarass herself all over again before having to see this nightmarish performance during an important, once a year, event.
James, I never meant to insinuate that Brady is anything but straight. I just said in DC if you meet a guy who spends that much time on his appearance in Dupont, Woodley, Logan Circle, Columbia Heights or AM the odds are 3-1 he is ####. Or European. Its just a fact in DC. The straight men here still think pleated pants are fashionable.
My other random observation, watching the NFL Network's postgame show -- when did Ray Lewis become everybody in the NFL's best friend? I thought Cowher was going to kiss him.

I am a chick who lives for sports -- football, hockey, college basketball, lacrosse, you name it.
As a girl from Baltimore married to a guy from Pittsburgh, my football loyalties and love for my husband are put to the test every weekend. Fortunately, he's an understanding guy.
As is our dog, who loves his football, and my beloved Irish.
