I wouldn’t be surprised if some knew. Music is so bad these days that younger folks are looking at the classics.

[glock rocks]

LOL. I’ll bet Pete’s wife is tellin the herd to shut the hell up bout now :o)

[misterrob]

They have been up to the job but you are right, they are not the best defense out there.

[ThreePuttinDude]

I’m singing along with it even as I type..

Not too bad after all

[Always Right]

Well, as a team I think SF and Pittsburg had better teams. Outstanding on both sides of the ball. Both had better running games and better defenses than this New England team. I’ll give NE the advantage on the passing attack, but that is it.

"The Pats play a 2 gap defense so their line doesn’t tend to get many sacks."

A two gap is designed to get a pass rush with out a blitz. colts play a 2 gap, are one of the best pass rushing teams in the league and NEVER blitz.

Sounds like your grandpa singin’....

As someone who has had a high ankle sprain, there is no way he’s completely 100%. That is one of the worst ankle sprains you can have, and the pain lingers for weeks. I’d bet he’s getting a nice dose of cortisone at half time.

Hi gang - sorry I’m late to the party - got a commercial question for the group.

Back around 6:35 left in the 2nd quarter I got a Bud Light spot featuring Carlos Mencia, followed by a Round Up spot.

The Round Up spot clipped the Bud Light spot a bit - and I think Joe Buck was in mid-sentence when we rejoined the game.

Did my local station squeeze in a commercial they weren’t supposed to?

Re: I prefer the frisbee dogs to the marching bands.

If you like jumping, panting dogs... fine! More nearly nakked female majorettes for me!

[Red Steel]

The camera shows a young crowd.

[winstonwolf33]

The twenty-year-olds in the audience probably just know the song from “Jerry Maguire”!

[beebuster2000]

pats need to get the quick hit dink pass game going. welker, faulk, then when the d line of the gmen backs off, moss for the stake in the heart. at least that is my hope

[Pyro7480]

Tom Petty was someone I followed in my “tweens,” when he was on MTV all the time (I’m now going on 28), and I still love his music.

[2Jedismom]

I have “American Girl” on a cd and was listening to it in the car...my son said he sounded like he swallowed before he’d completely finished chewing his Doritos.

I guess my son knows how this feels. Heh heh!

Anyway...I like Tom Petty.

[jveritas]

Look at the big picture, if they win this Super Bowl they will go 19-0 as the team to win most consecutive games ever, it will be their fourth Super Bowl in seven years and Brady will be the third QB to ever win FOUR Super Bowls plus he is only 30 years old. Those achievements are incredibly amazing.

[RGPII]

Good anecdote, seems like he had a fire at one of his houses too. Badly damaged as I remember.

[jwalsh07]

Tom Petty’s music is great stuff.

[Pyro7480]

There we go!
