Super Bowl thoughts...
Any other team besides the Steelers I would have rather seen win, including the Bengals...
- Hey, did you know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?
- Christ, what an awful game, even for an NFL game. The commercials weren't even good, and there was a break every 2 minutes it seemed like.
- Fuck Hines Ward. Kimo von Oelhoffen should have won the MVP for blowing out Carson Palmer's knee. That doesn't happen, Bengals win that game.
- Hey, did you know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?
- The Steelers are the closet dirtiest team in the NFL, going back to the Greg Lloyd days. After every play, they step over the dude and talk shit. It doesn't get reported because they have a white coach with an impressive jawline, so that fools media into thinking he's a disciplinarian. Fucking Cowher, biggest fraud in the NFL.
- The sole good thing about Super Bowl week was Chuck Klosterman's blog. Klosterman is great -- he's like Bill Simmons with talent.
- Hey, did you know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?
- I watched The Life Aquatic again last night. It gets better every time I see it; it's probably up to an A- now.
- Detroit is a hellhole. Don't belive the hype. They have the highest unemployment rate of any big city in the nation (14%, higher than France even), it is built on an industry that is dying in America (GM & Ford are near bankruptcy and have junk bond ratings, Delphi (GM's parts division) is in bankruptcy, and Chrysler is owned by Germans), and much of downtown is burnt out. That said, it is on the list of cities to which I'd move (oh yes, I have a list).
