Super Bowl Observations

As I've stated before, I don't really care about either team that played in this year's Super Bowl. But I somehow felt it was my American duty to watch the game (and man, it was a good game!) so here are a few observations I made today:

1. How freaking awesome does Faith Hill look? Seriously, the woman is 41 years old. She looks AMAZING! Tim McGraw is one lucky guy (although he ain't bad himself, so I guess it's a good pair!)

2. Jennifer Hudson sounded FANTASTIC! It was so good seeing her out and singing again. She's been through more trauma in the past few months than anyone should ever have to go through. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with her and her family.

3. Another interesting Super Bowl bet would have been - which player will have his hair pulled first? The Steelers' Troy Polamalu or the Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald?

4. John Madden was ... well, John Madden. He sounded like he didn't feel very well. Or maybe he just didn't care about the game because there was no Brett Favre. Although he may have other man crushes on Ben Roethlisberger or Larry Fitzgerald (who he kept on saying has "big hands and strong hands" ... hmm ... )

At one point, he also said that the umpire threw the penalty flag. I'm thinking he meant referee, considering that umpires are only in baseball. Seriously? This guy's only job is to announce football games, AND he has his own football video game. And he can't even get that right?

5. Commercials were just ehhh this year. Was there really an ad for "The Fast and the Furious Part 3?" How a first sequel was even made will continue to boggle my mind. And has anyone noticed that the only time we ever hear about Go Daddy is during Super Bowl commercials? For the other 364 days of the year, it's completely irrelevant. My favorites are always the Budweiser ads with the Clydesdale, which make me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

6. The whole time I was thinking: Can we just get the game over with so we can watch the new episode of "The Office?"
