Superbowl XLV

[GeneChing]

Packers or Steelers?

I'm strangely not invested in this year's Superbowl. Maybe I got enough football with Hershel Walker's MMA fight last Saturday (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1075769#post1075769). :p

Last year (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56369), this thread took an amusing turn...;)

My money is on the team that scores the most points !!

I couldn't care less about football...unless it's the one where you actually play the ball with your feet. However, since they are across the lake and in our division, I'll pick the Packers!:cool:

best line ever in postgame interview...

all we hear about is their defence, they cant stop a nose bleed, 25th in the league and we the ones get disrespected...

useless trivia...


the G on the logo for green bay does NOT stand for green bay, like anyone would logically assume... it means "greatness"... oh, and the packers are named the packers because originally they were sponsored by a meat packing plant... coulda guessed that one tho... :rolleyes:

[ShaolinDan]

I'm not watching the game, but I've been checking up on it...seems like a good one. :)

BEP halftime show = embarassing disaster...


you know, maybe its just me, but studio hits are bad enough performed live in a controlled atmosphere like a club, but in a stadium its just tragic... as long as they keep bringing in studio wonders who rely on post production to make their work passable, they are gonna have ****ty halftime shows... they need either real bands who can play tight, or if they wanna go hiphop they need to choose people who shine in live performances... sound wise, i dont mean a neat stage show with lots of cool outfits and dances, but real musical skill that shines thru at any venue... 15 years ago the peas could have done that... but then they sold the fukc out... either their musical tastes changed drastically for the worse, or they changed for money... i dont care which... but if they had done jointz n jamz in jeans and dreadlocks they wouldve tore the house down... sad... if they had never been good, id feel better about all this...

rant...... done.... :p


here's why i liked them in the first place... pre-fergalicious, back when she was doing hits of crystal meth out of broken light bulbs in a cheap motel bathroom on tour with the dynamic girl band wild orchid...:rolleyes: BEP was making good tracks like this:

the 2:30 mark and beyond is where they really shine...

I was saying to my wife that Black Eyed Peas ate it big time after bringing Fergie into the mix. That halftime show was unbearable. Their stage lights were even fully lit, and it was just glitz. Thanks, if I want lit up Tron suits I'll go see Tron.

I wish some random punk bands woulda bumrushed the stage.

Also, I bet Axel Rose is ****ed off! Fergie really mangled Sweet Child of Mine.

It was a gorgeous day - sort of a shame to be inside.

I'm sorry I missed Aguilera's national anthem. That sounded funny.

Super Bowl XLV Most-Watched TV Show Of All Time (http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2011/2/7/1980838/super-bowl-xlv-most-watched-tv-show-of-all-time)

Yup, you read that right. Not only was Super Bowl XLV the highest rated Super Bowl ever, it was the most viewed television show ever. FOX's broadcast of the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers reached a total audience of 162.9 million viewers, making it the most-watched show in U.S. television history according to The Nielsen Company. I suppose I shouldn't sound so surprised that it was the most watched show ever, as Super Bowls now account for the 20 most-watched programs in history in terms of total viewers.

Most-Watched TV Programs, Total Viewers

Super Bowl XLV (Packers-Steelers), 2/6/11
162.9 million

Super Bowl XLIV (Colts-Saints), 2/7/10
153.4 million

Super Bowl XLIII (Cardinals-Steelers), 2/1/09
151.6 million

Super Bowl XLII (Giants-Patriots), 2/3/08
148.3 million

Super Bowl XXXVIII (Patriots-Panthers), 2/1/04
144.4 million

As thrilling as it was to be in attendance last night, there is definitely something to be said for watching football on television. Replays, re-watching certain plays if you have DVR, cheaper food and beverages, and at least when it comes to the Super Bowl, the ability to watch the commercials during breaks in the action -- all are benefits of viewing pigskin games from home rather than at the stadium.

Speaking of commercials, since i haven't yet seen any of them or had time to really read about which companies hit and missed the mark with their outrageously expensive spots, maybe some of you can help out and let me know which you liked and disliked, which you thought were unique, a waste of money, etc.

Don did our Rope Dart video (http://www.martialartsmart.com/dvd-dk001.html). He gave some sort of demo at the pre-game show. He just posted this pic on his facebook.
