not that there is anything wrong with that……
woooooo! PURPLE RAIN!!!!
Best defensive player on either team? WHITE!!!
There’s your man bites dog story right there.
Well, it is February, you know.
I know. Which is why I was expecting a bit of a George Washington retrospective.
That was also my impression. But I wonder which of them is going to be the racist when all is said and done, by virtue of keeping a brother down.
Purple Rain.
This IS your (gay) father’s Superbowl…
Princes’ , or whatever the symbol of the week is absolutely NAILED MJ’s the video portion of Beat It .
And was anyone else gobsmacked at Prince covering the Foo Fighters? What would Kurt Cobain think if he wasn’t decomposed?
Prince used to NAIL Kim Bassinger…..IN HER PRIME. Give the man some respect….
Are you implying I didn’t ?
Tonight will we witness the first African-American coach lose a SuperBowl. Personally, I blame Bush.
Ummm…”Where’s my shotgun?”
Congrats to the Colts and Tony Dungy. Two talented teams, two respected coaches—one who bleeds blue and orange, the other blue and white.

Gotcha covered right here.
The Chicago Bears fear78 GW.
I’m giving better than even odds that Lovie’s first offseason action–tonight perhaps, is a drive to the nearest Safeway to buy a new QB.
And earliest line for SB XLII: New Orleans vs. San Diego.
I wonder why advertisers and the NFL didn’t push the “social significance” both coaches thought was most important—their both being devout Christians.
I mean, there have been other black coaches—they just haven’t won the Super Bowl. So to me, there has been an equality among coaches for a while now—so what we’re celebrating is a bit of trivia. And besides, their pigmentation is an accident of birth. Their belief systems, though—which they say is what guided their coaching and what structures their lives—has been largely ignored by the media, though the two coaches have gone out of their way to foreground it.
Just an observation. Not sure it’s even a significant one. Thought I’d mention it, though—and not just because I’m drunk on Talisker.
Both coaches appeared to be clean before the game.
Just for the record; I actually composed before I decomposed.
Joe Biden would have said “well-groomed and articluate.”
Speaking of commercials, and black folk…
Did Coke actually run a commercial tribute to Black History month which ended with the words especially today?
Is Jetstream Jesse anywhere in the vicinity to console the first African American coach to lose a Super Bowl? Look for a microphone and see if you can spot him nearby. With all those corporate types there to extort, I mean support his programs, he’s probably around somewhere.

Iowahawk would have added – “of average length as well.”
Yeah, we get two black head coaches in a Super Bowl, and it rains the whole time. Sorry, Karl Rove Weather Machine® Operators, their black ain’t gonna wash off!
And one other thing: The poodle is the black man of the dog world.
Well, hell, the Colts did Carve(r) up the Bears…
How come the one party media didn’t get friggin’ Kanye West to do the National Anthem or something. That could’ve been some good entertainment – bombs burstin’ the levees an shit.
God hates Rex Grossman.
Fucking Colts. <— Maryland native
I’m a Baltimore native, too. I don’t blame the current Irsay, nor any of the players on this team. I was actually pulling for the Colts because they’re in my conference.
And Grossman wasn’t the problem with the Bears today. Aside from a couple big runs, they did nothing on the ground, and the Colts are tough to throw deep against. Combine that with the weather and a very conservative offensive game plan, and it the Bears’ entire strategy seemed to be to hope for big plays on special teams and defensive takeaways that led to points.
I mean, Grossman’s first interception is on a double move, where the corner didn’t bite. Thing is, you have to throw that ball up on the first move, so that leaves you vulnerable to a pick.
The second pick, on a deep pass,he had Berrian man open, but the wet ball prevented him for getting it out more on line. Without the rain, that goes for a TD. Grossman throws one of the prettiest deep balls in the league.
I was an original Indy Colts season ticket holder. I watched them unload the Mayflower moving vans that secreted the Colts out of Baltimore and into a waiting Hoosier Dome.
Didn’t you guys try to have the team condemed?
I sat through season after season of hack quarterbacks (Art Schlister??? Jeff George) and a hack owner (old man Irsay) without even a hope of getting into the playoffs.
Congrats to Indianapolis and the Colts.
I was rooting for the Colts because they came here to play last year, and I got to see them.
I was rooting against the Bears because I lived in Chicago when the Bears were previously Super Bowl bound, and there is nothing worse than being a Lions fan in the midst of someone else’s football joy.
Grossman also fumbled twice, which wasn’t helpful to his team. The Bears’ game plan called for a lot of running, but the O-line decided to play their worst game of the season, which left the Bears hoping for big plays on special teams and defensive takeaways. Unfortunately, the Bears won a few that way this year, and the first quarter of the game reinforced their delusion. But it’s not a good plan when the defense forgets how to tackle. (Olé!)
However, it’s hard for me to despair over it. I’ve like Dungy since he was with the Vikings and Peyton seems to be the classiest of the Manning clan.
I found Prince disappointing, but he does have a bum hip.
and he was being rained on. I liked being able to hear the marching band occassionally, that was a nice touch.
all I know is that Peyton Manning is soooooo cute. ;D
Well, my wife was born in Tennessee, and Peyton Manning played for Tennessee in college, so I think she might be happy the Colts won.
When I tell her.
You know, I had never really thought so before, but all of the sudden today I did.
I miss the ads. :-(
There was a point where Prince’s audio was seriously off- was he lip synching badly or was that a satellite/stadium problem?
there’s quite a few places you can find them online.
I don’t know, I wasn’t paying attention that closely. do they perform those kinds of things live anymore?
oh, and I probalby wouldn’t have noticed Peyton, except he’s been in so many ads lately.
Prince is a great guitarist…too bad his taste in music sucks.
As a Saint’s fan who used to watch Archie throwing interceptions in Tulane Stadium, this is a great night (living vicariously through a former Saint’s kid).
And Terry Bradshaw threw one of the ugliest. The key is knowing where to throw it, and having badass little sumbitches on the other end to go up there and get it.
Yeah, well I used to nail her in her ass.
Perhaps you meant “underthrows”?
Talisker?! Lucky dog…I was nursing Diet Coke with Lime after yet another weekend with the National Guard.
I’m afraid we are in for another run of boring Super Bowls. No team in the NFC would have been in the top five in the AFC this year. It’s like the times in the 80’s when the poor Bills kept getting sent by the AFC even though they would never have placed third in the NFC East.
I gotta admit, though.
As much as Prince makes my skin crawl, that little punk has still got it!.
Boy! That was painful!
Silly me. I thought you used to nail her in the eyes and the nose – or was it the jaw?. Not that she probably didn’t deserve it, or anything.
Well, yeah, there is.
Try living in Philadelphia.
Don’t get me wrong here, guys, I agree with Coca Cola that having two black coaches is the biggest thing to happen for civil rights since the “I have a dream” speech, but I’m still not completely satisified. Couldn’t we do more? How about three black coaches, a few transgendered Sioux defensive coaches, and a quadraplegic kicker? And what about getting some chicks on the line, too?
I imagine that Brian Urlacher has got to be spitting fire right about now – at one point last night he ran halfway across the field and made one hell of a tackle, but it was because the three defenders who were actually in that area seemed like they cared more about the lay of the turf than they did about, yannow, actually tackling the ball carrier!
I like the Bears, but not enough to really be a fan. I believe the real failings with the bowl appearance fall squarely on coordinators Turner and Rivera.
First, the D. The Bears cover-2 is a perfect match to allow Manning to throw all day long. Rushing only 4 against the Colts line (a good offensive line) and dropping the linebackers allowed plenty of run offense, as well. The Bears have fast CB’s – they should have tried a variant on the old ‘46’, which would have slammed the brakes on the running game.
As for the O – Turner showed a complete lack of imagination. While the Colts are tough to throw on, they’re plenty tough to run on as well. The wet weather should have brought about more of a 5-15 yeard game for the Bears – double TE’s and 2-wide. With a single back they could have gotten cleaner blocking as well againt the LB’s.
Having said that, maybe Lovie needs to promote a couple of AFRICAN-AMERICANS to his coordinator spots …
Hmm. That is a conundrum.
I hears ya, man. I had to watch “Invincible” this weekend just to make it through the weekend.
But, hey! We have the Flyers and Sixers who … um … errrr … both suck.
I hate sports…
