Superbowl Halftime show with Bruce Springsteen ...  

Hello Catdla1,

Good description -- yup, a definite disappointment!

Hello Sammy009,

Yes, it would seem that Bruce was having a good time, for sure. I guess that's a consolation.

Hello Drannhh,

What is that beautiful flower in your new avatar?

I'm sorry to hear that your friend has been ill. Although I'm thrilled to learn that he or she is expected to recover.

Yup, some of the commercials were absolutely terrific! We should have done as you did, tune Bruce out. Had we done that, I would have found the overall performance to have been stellar. As for the game itself ... WOW! What a nail biter, eh?

I was so impressed with how Phoenix pulled its defense together to match that dynamic Steelers defensive line. It seemed that Phoenix definitely had the stronger offense, yet couldn't seem to help themselves with regard to all those penalties. Never before have I seen a Superbowl so riddled with penalties.

Speaking of penalties: how about Harrison personal fouling himself right out of the running for MVP? After that amazing 100 yard interception I'm sure that he was most assuredly in the running. That "unnecessary roughness" call seemed to drain the glee right out of his face. Still, no one can ever take that unbelievable interception return away from him.

Funny, I was reading an AP synopsis of the game, and much to my surprise a sports writer names Robinson actually found the game drab, other than Harrison's amazing return. Geesh, I don't know what game that guy was watching, but I found the epic defensive struggle to be no less than thrilling. I was astonished at how well each team predicted the other teams plays. Both teams, and their coaches get huge cudos for playing a very smart 'strategic' game.

Congratulations to Pittsburgh, and Phoenix as well. Both teams played their hearts out! All in all, it was one of the best played Superbowls that I have ever seen, and I thought it would be near impossible to match last years SB. In fact, it ranks right up there with one of the best pro football games that I have ever personally watched. My thanks to both teams for a terrific event!

That is a flower from a cucumber I am growing hydroponically. It has a pretty big cuke on it now, actually. Hope to be able to come home and post photos in a few weeks, but have been sleeping over at friend's hospital 24/7 and probably will for a few more weeks too.

Yes! that was one of two most exciting games, and the facial expressions were something to see, almost more like a Shakespeare drama than a football game! I've seen one other game with the exciting turns and last minute surprises, but none other with this much drama. Back soon, Ann
