99% of all the "experts" picked the Colts two weeks ago and haven't changed their tune. Heck about 70% of the "experts" picked the AFC champ over the NFC champ when we were still winding up the regular season. Doesn't mean CBS are homers or suck (well they do suck, but that complaint isn't a valid entry on the list of reasons why).

Hi there :) How have you been?

now there's a guy on a see saw!

LOL! I can't wait to see what they have waiting for us at the halftime show :o

[mware]

Actually while the commentators were yapping, I could hear the band in the background play the Marine Corp Hymn. Of course, CBS can't have that.

"I must say I am not understanding all the "hate" for Peyton."

They doest protest too much. Hehehe

Don't want to watch the halftime? Try watching these:

Bear vs. Colt

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list...

This is a fairly high volume ping list
Game Time Ping

FYI, shooter is the adaptation of Steven Hunter's book, Point of Impact.

They have taken the cool Bob Lee Swagger story and screwed it up..

Was there going to be a flyover???

Earlier in the afternoon the pregame stuff did show a football game in Baghdad with our troops - "colts" against the "bears" - and interviewed some of the troops. Was glad to see that then.. Would be more glad to see our heroes highlighted here now. Need a flyover.

Ok - all right. Let's get ready and get started!

Here are the Colts!

Think of the pressure they are feeling right now. Once the game gets going, they will be all right but I think there will be muffs and fumbles early.....but hope I'm wrong.

[silent_jonny]

I fear who they will have "do" the National Anthem...

Me too.

[CAluvdubya]

I can't stand Prince or whatever his name is this year so I think I'll be watching the Puppy Bowl halftime with the kittens!

GO... LITTLE HORSIES!!!!


Giddy-up!!!

[toldyou]

Unfortunately, that pre-game show was advertised as Cirque du Soleil. I knew immediately who was and who wasn't part of Cirque du Soleil. I've seen two of their shows, and all I have to say is if you get a chance, go see one. It is unbelievable and unforgettable! The acrobatics from the swings were the only ones from their show.

The dancers, all bands, singers, "cheerleaders," were NOT part of them.

[Armedanddangerous]

Billy Joel..

I hope for everyone's sake he doesn't have to drive onto the field..

[SunkenCiv]

Hey, finally -- they're introducing one of the teams. Gloria Estefan my kazoo!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Oh - glad you heard that - no CBS could never show that....it was enough they had to have perky Katie on earlier....gag. The story she was talking about was good - but why did they have Katie? Just a CBS finger in our eye.....as usual.

[big'ol_freeper]

And they had the qwerky Katie Couric on earlier. Ruined the whole pre-game show.

[VA40]

Why? Is this being held in the States? I thought it was in Miami. /sarc

[silent_jonny]

(and Phil Simms voice is ANNOYING as hell!)

Shannon Sharpe is even worse!
