That's the thing. After this game you could say one of two things: 1.) The refs were "tainted." (either actively or subconsciously calling in favor of Pittsburgh) 2.) The refs were incompetent (even though they are the "best and brightest" refs in the NFL). Either way, the #1 thing that people are talking about with respect to what happened on-field in the Super Bowl was the performance of the refs, not the players or even the coaches. It exposes one area that the NFL is behind the other "Big 4" sports.

No, it was quite clear that he said "Here's to my sweet Satan. I buried Paul." Ooops, wait a minute, I played it backwards...

It's the kind of fancy footwork that makes a catch made on 4th down with both feet out of bounds that's short of the 1st down marker look like a first down....

"...and thus can't afford to get cornered by Suzy on-air...I actually have a job besides 'former Super Bowl winning QB.'"

"Oh, look, another note from Ralph: 'Why don't you guys play Golden Wheels more?'"

and those "2" were season closers that didn't matter....to us...

Which was spot on for him, since Seattle could not challenge said call, since it was the first play after the two minute warning, leaving it up to the replay officials to decide.

Start Me Up is a stadium staple however. You're likely to hear it at any football game you go to. As for the performance, I really don't feel like getting into the Toe-May-toe Toe-Mah-Toe debate that's going on here....

I'm sure he would have done the same thing if FOX had the Super Bowl this year. I really wonder how much that came into play in his decision...

She's actually the one who added all the vocal gymnastics that everyone else since has more or less tried to emulate. Regardless, as my post in the other thread (over in Off the Wall) said, last night was the reason why most "live" performances you see in the Super Bowl are lip synched (including the afore-mentioned Whitney Houston version of the National Anthem). They couldn't keep microphones set to the right levels in the "house" feed, I can just imagine how horrid the monitors were.

If the monitor mix (what the artists were hearing) was half as bad as the "hall" mix (what we were hearing) I wouldn't blame the singers. That's why hardly anyone sings live in these big shows any more....

Yes it is. The song is originally from Avenue Q, a broadway play that's basically (to put it in four words or less): an "adult" Sesame Street. You can see a clip from "The Internet is for porn" in context here. My wife and I have been chuckling over that song since before the holidays though.

Though you may need a dictionary and online literature and historical references to make sense of the answers.

Speaking of people whose avatars make you sick...hi Guff! I want an avatar like R. Rich's....

They still filming new episodes of America's Most Wanted? How much cap would be left if we just cut them all and started from scratch...? After all, you add up the aggregate of the "players that should be cut" and that's about where you end up...

I wasn't actually advocating the removal of those fields. It's just removal of those fields may do more of a job of reducing the "look-at-me's" than zeroing post counts (slim vs. none, but I don't think it's about post count, except in rare cases). About the only time I read threads here any more is when I see the handle of someone I respect in one of those fields...

Hop in the car and go the few miles north to Darin's igloo!

Well, I heard they were planning on having a different halftime show, but that's really taking it a bit far, isn't it?

Are you saying that you've never had the hunger to go out for a nice piece of ass? And are you saying that if you saw a nice piece of ass, you wouldn't want a taste?

Well, that's what I was asking. I've never had ass without malted battery acid on it, and have never had malted battery acid by itself, so, without being barbaric enough to try just one alone, I was trying to figure out what those described tastes were...

...and yet you still wonder why the food tastes like ass?

Integrity.

It takes a thread like this to really amaze me at the things that people have ingested over the years. Can someone find a way to describe how this stuff tastes in more "generic" terms for the benefit of the people like me who haven't tasted ass or malted battery acid?

What do you use to seal the suitcase before you fill it with hot sauce? Caulk? Do you drill a hole in the top to pour it in? Does the "hotness" of the sauce keep the interior fabric from affecting the flavor?

You're moving in with your son?
