Super Bowl Thoughts

~I don't see how you can play football with hair like Troy Polamalu's. It's as long as mine and thicker. That just seems to be asking for trouble.

~John Madden kept insisting Seattle needed to "up the tempo like they started the game." After about the 10th time I was plenty ready to get some duct tape to silence his useless advice. It wasn't like him saying it anymore was going to solve Seattle's problem. Although it would have been amusing to see him go down to their bench and lead the Seahawks in a little cheer. "T-E-M-P-O! Up, up the tempo!"

~It's easier to watch a golf tournament and appreciate good golf no matter who it is. It's a little harder in a two-team event like football where you cheer a good play for what it is then think, Wait, no, I didn't like that. That's the wrong team.

~He may not have put on the greatest performance, but at least now I can think of Ben Roethlisberger as the quarterback of a Super Bowl Championship team instead of Natalie Gulbis' ex.

~Is ABC just throwing in the towel on broadcast sports altogether? They've exiled Monday Night Football to their ESPN partners. They're dropping golf next year. What's next?

~And a final thought on the Super Bowl... Spending so much time watching golf, I do have to appreciate the teamwork involved in football.
