The theme song of this game was sung by Ruby and the Romantics..."Our day will come...." either side could use it effectively.

If the Saints could have kept their turnovers to be of the Pillsbury kind, they might have been in the game themselves....

yep.. they showed flashes of what they can do, but also showed where the holes need plugging... we'll see if they sign a free agent cornerback, nose tackle, and/or middle linebacker

Whichever team wins, it won't matter that much to me since the Steelers choked. However if I had to choose, I wouldn't mind seeing Payton win the big game.

All the experts say my Bears have no chance but I will be rooting for them.
I just hope they bother to show up and leave South Beach, everyone says they have no chance.
In any event I will pick them 31-28.

You sure there will be that few commercials? I tried watching the superbowl ONCE. That was more than enough.
3 simple things that could be done to make it more attractive to watch:
* Longer play between fouls.
* Not allowing players to build up their perfect team position after each foul.
* Less commercial breaks!

I was prognosticating on the favorites....there will be, of course, many other commercials for cars.....internet service providers......etc. etc. and beer is close to bear so it seemed appropriate...lol

I watch only superbowl ads. I think we need more ads =D
A recent innovation (I think they had this last year) is that the best and worst ads can also be streamed on WSJ and other websites after. Unnecessary now to sit through extended periods watching grown men's short activity flurry before the anticipated ads.
Oh, and yeah, go bears. Maybe there'll be a public holiday declared if the bears win.

Sounds like Rugby, speaking of which...

Woohoo! 19-9! Nice win for Ireland. Though Wales faught hard and made it a tough match. In much the same way that Scotland, Italy and the Bears didn't.
I don't mind the odd game of gridiron, but the stop-start nature of it really annoys me. And damn I hate the commercial breaks.
It was funny becauese after 0100 or so, the ITV lads didn't have commercial breaks, so every time the game stopped for an American one, it had to go back to the studio with the pundits chatting about the game. And it went back to them so often they started running out of things to say. Or so it seemed.
My faourite part of the match was the 5 minutes period half way through the 4th where the Bears on offense had to keep up the pace lest the clock run out on them. At least there was a little flow to the game then.
But Grossman wasn't really up to par, and Bears were disappointing on offense so Colts won fairly comfortably really.

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.
