    You must not watch too many Super Bowls. This was one of the better ones in recent memory...

    No, I don't. Generally speaking, spectator sports are boring. Being there in the stadium/arena is slightly more fun, but watching sports on TV is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

    It sure does keep people's minds occupied though, doesn't it? Bread and circuses.

    What do you find exciting to watch on television?

    Shop NBC?

    Softcore porn?

    Cartoons?

    Anything?

    Exciting? Nothing... and sports wouldn't even make the bottom 10 on my "exciting" list. IMO, sports are a huge waste of time.

    I prefer anything that isn't sports.

    I think we can count that as a big "YES" on the Shop NBC, softcore porn, and cartoons...

    Unless it's scat porn, because then it's impossible not to talk shit.

    Indeed. Still, I have a healthy appreciation for softcore porn now after I watched Spartacus: Blood and Sand this weekend. Don't want to see people knocking it.

    she butchered it but it is to be expected in the end all the new singers want to get ther "whitney houston" and make it a bunch of scales and carry the song on for 15 minutes...... watched the puppy bowl on animal planet instead of the black eyed peas who are just too over played

    The game i thought was pretty damn competitive although i am a packer fan and would of liked to keep all my finger nails instead of chewing them off and would of liked to have kept them to 3 points... it is nice that most of these games are not reliving the 90's where it was over in the first half

    What about this one...

    ...OK, I guess, ...If you like... perfect.

    "...Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free."

    Hey, be fair, forgetting words to a song is nerves and can happen to anyone. I've seen too many performers who WROTE the song forget the words not to know that

    My understanding is that foreigners are sometimes shocked that we sing our national anthem before sporting events. They find it disrespectful to sing their anthem at anything but state functions and not many of them.

    National Anthems quality is in inverse proportion to that of the country itself anyway. The Hymn to the Soviet Union would bring tears to a stone
