Despite being a Packers fan, I had predicted a Pittsburgh victory. Surprisingly, I think the game would have been a blow out had Packers WRs not dropped 5 passes.

It was a good game and I'm sure the ratings were high. Their were some pretty decent commercials as well.

Edit: Green Bay is now the first 6th seed to ever win a Super Bowl.

What a great game though.

I really could have been either of them right up until the end. Way too many interceptions for the Steelers though!

Worst half time show ever, hands down. I was never a fan of the black eyed peas, but I had no idea they were utterly talentless. Even the effects sucked.

Where is the Love is a decent song, but like the majority of pop acts they suck live. Christina's rendition of the national anthem was pretty poor, she got shone up by the girl from Glee.

My god the Anthem was poorly done and the halftime was terrible. The Doritos commercials were the best in my opinion. I didn't expect the score to be that high though seeing as though they both have top notch defenses.

A minimum of BS calls and a nice close score made it a fantastic Super Bowl.

Now I have to contend with the bandwagon Steeler fans. Seriously I called one up who was talking trash and she screamed; "Packers are pussies, they only won by a field goal, Packers won by a pussy field goal!". Yeah, that kind of fan.

In other news, Madden was wrong once again, a 6th seed team won the Super Bowl which is a first in NFL history, and this is the first Super Bowl win I can remember(first time was when I was six).

I actually liked the half time show.

Then again I don't feel the need to be a hater, lest someone think I'm not a hipster that hates all things pop.

It just seemed dull you know, pop and the likes need to stay out of football. Get a band that plays rock and roll or metal. Failing that they should've gotten Lil' Wayne, I didn't like rap before but for some reason I like Lil' Wayne now.

Steelers lost ,so I wasn't that happy...but a damn good game overall.

Someone in Will I. Am's entourage punched Perez Hilton. That's pretty gangsta.

In other news, Tom Brady also had a pretty big day.

Everyday he has is a big day by the standards of we mortal men.

At least the sexual predator lost.

It made up for the horrible anthem and halftime performances tbh...

Slash rose from the grave.

That's all that was needed to make it great.

You forgot 1 Huge detail... he didn't bring Axel! that's what made it great!

And Usher descended from the Heavens like the angel Moroni!

Did Christina Aguilera get a line wrong in the anthem? It was all over the news this morning.

Nobody caught it at first. Just the other day me and the wife forgot the same line. I doubt anyone could sing all 4 verses.

Then maybe they should stop attempting live renditions of it then huh?

I mean Usher was lip-syncing (badly), so you might as well have C-3PO come out and pretend to sing to a recording of it...

Seriously fellers, what 12 posts and there has been almost as much talk of Glee as there has been the game. Wiil.i.aint and Black eyed peas? Common, this is the Super Bowl (greatest show on eart appearantly?) not a discussion about Heat Magazine?

I haven't tracked down the highlights yet but were there any stand out plays or moments?

Sometimes I wonder if all Amerikans are more interested in Celeb culture and fast food than your sports...no wait...wut?

Well as New England fan the best team in fotball wasn't playing, so no two teams that I could care less about really isn't all that exciting to be honest...

The only in-game highlight that I would have cared to see would have been watching Ben R. (AKA the mad rapist) sustain a career-ending injury...

Oh Ben...imagine how you would have been portrayed if your team would have won? Had Ben won the Super Bowl, it would have been some kind of redemptive soul-cleansing thing. It would have reversed his sexual indiscretions (rape) and returned his morality and integrity. He would have been the MVP and got a few million extra as a raise. Yeah, and if you play country music backwards you sober up and get your wife and dog back too. Loser.

Roethlisberger is a moron, we were making fun of him the entire game. The half time show was terrible and Slash held his head in shame as that one chick butchered his song.

Christina Aguilere needs to be put on trial for treason, that's how bad her singing was.

Great game, we had perhaps the cleanest and most humbled teams beat the dirtiest and most arrogant of all.

The best plays were when Nick Collins returned the pick for a TD and Bloodline, aka Clay Matthews, stripped Mendenhall. Go Pack Go

No, he'd still be a rapist, POS. sorry. winning a game doesn't change a persons character. and i wish it didn't magically give the rest of the world amnesia of his past.

+1, i agree.

Umm, he hasn't been convicted of anything. I think all this "rapist" talk is a little unfair.

O.J was never convicted either, nor was Kobe. That never stopped people. The game was great, Ben should spend more time trowing around footballs and not women.

That doesn't make it right. Also, O.J. was different. I actually don't think Kobe did it either, based on the details of that case.

I'm gonna trust my Spide Sense on this one.



Money and influence work wonders when looking to make legal troubles "dissapear" (and having the cops who you are buds with come in an bleach the crime scene doesn't hurt either).

the NFL and his camp did a good job buying the victim's silence and riding out the easily distracted media (shame on her in a sense, but we know how these sorts of trials go for the accuser, especially agaist a high profile defendant with lots of money and high power legal council; it would have been a nightmare for her).

As for unfair: He is a millionaire, he can afford a box of tissues...

Yeah, i feel pretty comfortable with my statement.

Oh he still would be. Don't get me wrong, I still believe he is a P.O.S. but the media and after game news would have made a hero story to help us all forget about his past transgressions so we could concentrate on the win, (the world amnesia you referred to). Look in the news now, you see the Packers and good players and the Steelers as dirty donkey-caves. If the steelers would have won, then they would have portrayed much differently. People like winners when the win and people forget about the bad stuff they have done. When they loose, people can't shut up about their mistakes. (I am doing it right now).

Me too, but my spidey sense almost tingles towards "some girl wanted money"...almost.

Gal who sang "America the Beautiful" was phenomenal! Someone please explain to my why she wasn't the one singing the national anthem??

Guess she wasn't glitsy enough for Jerry.


Great game, lousy reffing... afraid of what the score would have been if the Packers could actually catch the football. Surprised that Troy P. was not more of a factor. Bad hair day maybe??
