Super Bowl XL: End of the 1st Quarter - Steelers 0, Seahawks 3
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL,
After having a D. Jackson touchdown being taken back because of a questionable penalty, the Seahawks take only 3 points away after a 47 yard field goal. Either way, I still didn’t make any money on the office pool. Crap.

Super Bowl XL: Seahawks, Steelers Come Up Empty
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL,
Both teams came up empty as Seattle takes it up the field for 2 first downs. A 4th down punt put the Steelers in their first possession. A quick 3 and out put them in a position to punt. Let’s hope for some fireworks on offense this time around.
There’s nothing more exciting than the coin toss of the Super Bowl. You start to hope that the following game will be a good one and begin to put the electricity into perspective. So why would you ever have New England Patriots’ Quarterback, Tom Brady, toss the ceremonial coin? Shouldn’t he be home licking his wounds like the other playoff losers? Was there not a more qualified retired football player in the stadium? I would’ve taken a drunken “Broadway” Joe Namath before Brady.
Super Bowl XL Pregame: Stevie Wonder Medley
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL,
With 20 minutes left until kickoff, Stevie Wonder took the stage on the 50 yard line with India Arie, Joss Stone, and John Legend. They sang some of Wonder’s most memorable songs as well as some Motown standards - very appropriate for Detroit. As usual, the awful sound engineers of these live events had to screw it up by accidentally muting microphones when they weren’t supposed to. At least there was no lip-syncing involved in the affair.
Super Bowl XL Pregame: Disabled Kids Play Football
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL,
In an attempt to tug on America’s heart strings, ABC and Disney put on a feature about disabled children playing football. I am trying really hard not to call it a “puff piece” and seem unsympathetic to the disabled. It’s possible that they put this “story” on to get people to think that ABC’s coverage of Super Bowl appeals to the average American lifestyle. I’m sure this is just a ploy to assure parents that there won’t be any wardrobe malfunctions this year. The question on my mind the entire time was “Who’s the audience for this?” Surely all the beer drinking bar men don’t want to see this. Leave the tear jerking for Barbara Walters and 20/20.

Edgerrin James, star running back for Indianapolis Colts, may end up wearing another uniform next year. This past off-season he signed a 1-year franchise deal, but was unable to secure a long term extension. It looks like the Colts are ready to move on, save some money and draft a new running back and in the meantime go with Dominic Rhodes as the feature back.
Rhodes definitely is a serviceable back as he rushed for over 1100 yards his rookie year in 2001, substituting for James while out with an injury. The problem is the Colts went 6-10 that season, and that had been the only season the Colts missed the playoffs during this recent Manning/James/Harrison era. Obviously, James has been paramount to the Colts success. Since 1999, the Colts are 77-35—70-26 when he plays, 7-9 when he doesn’t, according to the Star. Look at the bright side the Green Bay Packers won it all while not having a dominant running game, led by Edgar Bennett with 899 yards in the 1996 season.
NFL head honchos are finally contributing to the effort of rebuilding the tattered Superdome in New Orleans. This comes almost a month after the Saints said that they will be spending all of their home games in New Orleans. This seems like a drop of water that’s part of a lake after learning that it will take and estimated $153 Million to fully repair the Dome. Luckily, 90% of it will be covered by state insurance and FEMA, while the remaining $29 Million will have to be paid by the state. I sincerely hope that the Saints give them something to cheer about after having suffered so much.

Jerome Bettis Gets the Key to the City, Like Saddam
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Athletes, Kudos, NFL,
Bettis gets the key to Detroit. He joins the ranks of
my hero
South Park villain, Saddam Hussain - former Iraqi dictator. Back in 1980, Detroit gave the ex-president of Iraq a key to commemorate his kindness and cooperation with the West. Rev. Jacob Yasso, who ran Chaldean Sacred Heart church in the Motor City, stated this recently when asked why they gave Saddam a key.
Bettis, Detroit’s poster child this winter, had this to say about his association with Hussain:
“I don’t know that I’ll be sharing that with Saddam. I think they canceled his key. They changed the locks on that one.”
Doug Flutie’s Drop Kicked Ball Has A Greedy Owner
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Athletes, Front Office, Kudos, NFL,
For years, Doug Flutie has been known most for his “Hail Flutie” play back in his Boston College days. That will surely be one of the most talked about plays for many generations. The 1984 Heisman Trophy winner now has something else to be remembered by.
Earlier this season, in a meaningless game versus the Miami Dolphins, Flutie executed the first drop kicked extra point since 1941. There wasn’t a soul in the stadium - aside from the Patriots - that expected that play. Hence, the net to catch extra points and field goals wasn’t set up. A lucky fan made off with a heck of a souvenir - one for the record books. Flutie deserves to have this token of history back and the guy deserves to be compensated. What does he want?
1. Payment of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ($100,000.00) DOLLARS [lawyer’s capitals] on delivery of the football.
2. A guarantee of eight (8) season tickets for 25 years in the end zone (preferably sections 142 or 143).
a. The season tickets will be paid for annually by my client at the then going price for season tickets. The Patriots would not be expected to pay for the tickets.
3. Delivery by the Patriots to my client sometime in September, 2006, of a Tom Brady Patriots’ football jersey signed by all the team members as of the beginning of the next football season.
You would have to be an idiot to request that of any organization. The Pats have declined the “offer.” Now this moron holds a piece of history that no one will care about in a few years. Heck, we already have it on film. That’s enough for me. Patriots should release a statement of their own: “Shove it.”
