Hmm... I have not seen a clip since the season for me was over when the gun went off and I changed channels. I can't take pre/post game crap and all the has beens and never was doing the what if's.

I have been leaning toward not watcing now for several months. I totally quit 5 years ago and just started again the end of last season to have something to talk about with my sports enthused boys. I tire of the pandering, whining, and posturing of people that make more in a week than 80% of us do in a year. It is just a game and if I can't watch without the extra, well I have better things to do. In teh scope of life it means little but I like the "game" itself.

I pick up on the NFL at the end of the high school season. Until the end of high school season, I'm on the sidelines of one of those games, and that's my football fix for the week. The Super Bowl is almost always a let down, because it's not really a sporting event, but more like a pagan fertility ritual or something. At least the Pats-Eagles game last year was exciting, once you waded through the nonsense.

In this game, the refs sucked, both teams sucked, and I hear the half time show sucked. I think what bugged me most about the refs was that whenever something exciting happened, it was like the refs jumped in and said, "I'm sorry, this game is getting too interesting. We're going to throw a trash flag stand around and talk for twenty minutes, killing all sense of excitement." I watched animals eating people on Spike TV about half the time, because a Depends advertisement was more exciting than what went on during that game.
