Thoughts on Super Bowl XXXIX

So the Pats didn’t quite destroy the Eagles like I thought they would but they got the win. That means I personally went 5-4 in the postseason, narrowly avoiding my first set of pro postseason predictions under .500. But this destroys the pattern that had developed since Super Bowl XXXI. That was a bad game (Packers vs Patriots), the following year (Packers vs Broncos) was a good game. It had gone like that for eight seasons. We were due for a dud, but Philly put up a good fight. Tied after one, tied at the half, tied after three. It was much more competitive than I thought it would be.

The New England/Boston area is officially Titletown. That’s sad.

Super Bowl XXXIX Prediction

It’s going to be the Patriots, and it’s going to be a blowout. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-13.

Super Bowl Thoughts

Did anyone else think the Super Bowl commercials were pretty lame this year? There were a couple of good ones. The Budweiser one with the donkey was probably the best, sadly. The Homer Simpson one for MasterCard was good. Let me know what you thought was the best
commercial.

Fortunately I missed the half time show. I was playing foosball at the time, so I didn’t get to see Janet Jackson’s nipple piercing. Aww shucks. I’d like to point out that there are guys who paid money to see women play football in their underwear during the halftime show. I bet they feel robbed.

The game itself followed the bad/good Super Bowl pattern that started back at SB 31. That one was bad (and I’m not saying it was bad because of who won, but it was bad because the game was boring). Next year’s will be boring again. Hopefully the Dolphins will be blowing someone out.

At Least I Called The Winner

So maybe my score prediction wasn’t quite right, not to mention my margin of victory. But at least I picked the winner. Go Pats! It should have been the Phins, but I’d rather New England was happy when I go home there this summer.

Super Bowl Prediction

I just got cleaned out in poker once again. Good thing it was only $2 to get in, else I’d be hurtin’ for certain.

Slow day if there ever was one this Saturday. At least for me. There was stuff to do - first FSU baseball game of the season. We won it on a triple in the bottom of the 9th. I didn’t go, even though it was basically Scott P. Moriak’s birthday party.
