JUST SHOW UP, BABY
What a pitiful performance by the Raiders. I guess it's a good thing for all concerned that they got knocked out by the Pats last year; watching that kind of performance in two consecutive Superbowls would have dropped football's popularity to curling levels.
All week long, I was on the fence as to who I should root for. Mostly because I view these things in terms of who I don't want to see emerge victorious. Warren Sapp...but Al Davis. Keyshawn...but Raider Nation. Tough call. Then a couple days ago I saw some quote by some Raider that showed they still felt they beat the Patriots. So I'm glad the Bucs won. Congrats, Tampa; it's always nice to see a city take one home after a long drought. Maybe someday Cleveland and Philly will know.
And what a sorry bunch of commercials. The only one that got a chuckle was the FedEx Castaway spoof.
Upon Further Review: I forgot one more laugh I got from a commercial. It was one of the ridiculous anti-drug spots: one that showed the pregnant teen and said that marijuana led to loss of judgement. I forget: was that on right before, or right after, the 143rd beer commercial of the evening?
