offhand mumblings .... on Super Sunday

rhetorical mumblings mostly ....

is it just me or were there a lot more shots of President Clinton than there were of President Bush in today's super bowl?

why is it that today is the day everyone had huge projects around the house which always seem to happen just on super sunday?

When will Terry Bradshaw do us all a favor and follow Dan Rather into the retirement home? or is it just me that finds him totally annoying?

Will Super Bowl XL be 6 hours long like this one or does it just seem to increase time-wise by 30 minutes or so every year? or will they really go long because it is a "Zero" year celebration?

and what is it with this reluctance to have a defensive MVP .... surely Rodney Harrison had more to do with the Patriot win .....

and speaking of Birds how many people around the US are eating TONS of crow regarding the effectiveness of Terrell Owens??

A personal note to Freddie Mitchell .... "dude .... remember its always best to boast AFTER the game not before ...." Also a note to Al Davis .... TAKE NOTES!!!!

Congratulations to both Fox and the city of Jacksonville on the great show .... even my mother was pleased and she rates the Halftime shows very strictly.... (It really is the only part she cares about) ... this is the first in a long time that she liked so GREAT JOB on behalf of my mother Roberta ...

Also just a note to whoever planned the National Anthem portion of the Pre-game show .... TOTALLY AWESOME .... i thought the selection of honorees from WWII and also the salute to today's heroes in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Southeast Asia Tsunami Relief efforts was superbly done and most appreciated by myself and the two other veterans i was watching the game with. VERY WELL DONE.

as a further tribute to the men and women of our armed services i offer this thanks to the following units ....

US Air Force - 124th Wing (ANG), Boise, Idaho

US Army - HHSB 1-190th Field Artillery Battalion (NG), Billings, Montana

US Navy - USNS Indominitable, NAB, Little Creek, Virginia

US Marine Corps - 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, Camp Pendleton, California

God Bless ... Keep the Faith ... Lest WE Forget ....
