Super Bowl XL: Halftime Show - The Rolling Stones
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL,
Playing it conservative, ABC and Disney have decided to bring on old school/new school rockers - The Rolling Stones. I’ve got to say I was pleasantly entertained with the mini concert. A great stage was setup in the form of the Stones’ signature hanging tongue logo. Singing their classics - including one they sung at Super Bowl I, “I can’t get no satisfaction.”

Super Bowl XL: Halftime Seahawks 3, Steelers 7
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL, Scoreboard,
On 3rd down, Big Ben connected with Hines Ward for a big 37 yard reception that set up a 1 yard touchdown run by Ben Roethlisberger. The play was challenged by Seattle, but was it was too close to overturn the call. That took us under the 2 minute warning. Seattle’s 2 minute offense came into effect and ended with what I consider to be a conservative FG attempt. Pittsburg accidentally called a timeout with a confused defense on the field; Seattle failed to capitalize with 7 seconds on the clock. I thought there might have been time to attempt one shot down the field or at least relieve some pressure off the kicker by taking it in another 10-15 yards, then call a their last timeout. However, they opted to attempt a 54 yard FG that went wide. Bring on Mick Jagger.
Super Bowl XL: 2nd Quarter - Michael Boulware INT Goes Unheard
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Championship, Super Bowl, NFL,
Big Ben showing some guts by chucking a long one downfield but Randal El couldn’t make the play. However, Michael Boulware intercepted. Unfortunately for Seattle, defense has been great on both ends and they go 3 and out rather quickly.
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.

In a somewhat puzzling move by Knicks President Isiah Thomas, the Knicks will receive Jalen Rose and a first round draft pick (via Denver) for Antonio Davis, whose contract will expire following this season. Rose was not a favorite of coach Larry Brown, Brown coached Rose during Brown’s last season in Indiana. Rose’s career did not really blossom until Larry Bird became coach, when Rose finally decided to let go of the idea of being a point guard and just concentrated on scoring. The initial reaction of this move does not look to make much sense for the New York Knicks, by acquiring yet another high priced salary player. Hopefully this leads to another deal or at least an explanation.
