blogstreet's back: and talkin' 'bout the game

so i actually watched the superbowl, including about 2 hours of pre-game coverage. but as we all know, the superbowl isn't about the game itself, it's about all the hoopla that surrounds, intersects and overtakes it. the football teams are just an excuse for people to get away with crap they normally wouldn't get away with. like pairing santana with beyonce, or allowing baboons to drink soda. but never fear, just in case you haven't had enough analysis of the game, the festivities and the commercials, the blog about nothing is here to serve. that's right, i'm stepping up to the plate, answering the call and writing down my random musings about superbowl xxxvii for posterity. yeah.

being the reclusive mystery that i am, i did not have plans to either attend or throw a party for the occasion. in order to focus on my new role as a member of the media -- the propaganda machine if you will-- i decided to watch the game from my own living room with my mini-cracker. our thoughts....

the top five moments that made me never want to watch the superbowl again
5. the freakish pairing of beyonce with santana
4. the constant mention of the 8 million dollar deal between the bucs and raiders: shut up already.
3. the idiotic parody interview with bill romanowski about his flippin' goldfish.
2. celine dion. in any form.
1. close-ups of the multitude of 'dancers' there is a reason there are so many of them -- don't focus on any individual. gah!

the top five things that made me stand up and say amen
5. interceptions!
4. watching ozzy fuss with a trash bag.
3. sting. mmmm. sting. ok, it wasn't the best performance in the world, and gwen being a skank about it, don't even get me started. but sting. sting.
2. the terry tate office linebacker commercial. because tackling people makes me very happy. very happy indeed.
1. dude: the franken-calzone... it lives ! it liiiiiiiiives!

sidenotes from a five year old:
regarding shania twain: "she looks like a vampire"
regarding gwen stefani: "she's dressed up pretty nice"
regarding touchdowns: "is that a good thing mommy?"
regarding the teams: "i think i'll just root for both"

and i think that just about sums it up. a nice game with the underdog winning... pulpy entertainment and mildly amusing advertisements. and john madden. what more could a girl ask for?
