And Casey, I’d rather see kids playing in a guitar hero championship than the over the hill rock stars they always sign up. Not that I am anti rock, but there are so many bands available. Why not have a battle of the bands in both Indianapolis and New Orleans, and give each band 10 minutes? Nah, better to spend big bucks on aged icons, so the baby boomers in their corporate sponsored seats can feel good about themselves.

I was shocked at about 2, I turned it to CBS – hoping to see some college basketball game – can someone explain to me why SU is #2 in the country and I can’t watch one of their games on a major TV network not named ESPN? But there is the CBS crew – 4 1/2 hours before the game talking X’s and O’s. C’mon, there had to be something else on.

Can you imagine if Fox decides to do 6 hours of analysis before a World Series game. Tim McCarver explaining what he used to do when Bob Gibson was pitching and a hitter tried to lay down a bunt? The suicide rate in America would skyrocket..

As for the commercials. Jim Nantz is starting to jump up in my book. His commercials were amusing. A couple of Bud commercials were decent including the house made of Bud Light. I got some chuckles like that and then we discussed whether a house like this would actually work. We ultimately decided the house would explode during winter time. But overall – I agree with Bill – the advertising people are either running out of ideas or took the Super Bowl.

Don’t even get me started about the Who playing.. Roger Daltry looked like the poster boy for “People after too many trips to Botox camp”. For the moral stance the NFL is taking(Suspending player for behavior)- how do they allow a registered sex offender perform at halftime?

Overall a great game.. Is there an over/under on how many days the party is going to last in New Orleans??

It’s one thing for baseball to start the game with “The Star Spangled Banner and do “God Bless” at the 7th inning stretch. It’s another thing to do them back to back.

As for the coin toss convention – was it just me, or did Russ Grimm look rather…well…grim. It was like he just found out he was not getting paid to show up.

At first glance, when the Tebow ad came on, I thought it was Adrienne Barbeau making a comeback.

As for the halftime entertainment – you know I am all for rock ‘n’ roll. But the half time of a football game, I would rather see a marching band. What if they invited some high school bands from the cities involved. That’s what they used to do. Can you imagine a high school marching band from New Orleans? They would have been fantastic. It would have been a great warm up for the Mardi Gras parades.
