Article:Musings - Round Deux

To say this week was wild would be like saying Bugs Bunny doesn't like carrots. There was the quest for perfection by the New England Patriots, who fell faster than Wil E. Coyote off the cliff using an ACME product. Congrats are in order to the New York (or New Jersey, if you want to get techincal) Giants and Eli Manning.

Then there were the commericals. Some of them were pretty good (the Coke ad with the parade balloons fighting over a bottle, Bud Light's Cheese Party and the G2 ad with Derek Jeter), some were outstanding (the Budweiser ad with the clysdale and dalmation, the Go Daddy ad that we had to go to the web site to see) and some of them SUCKED (the ETrade ads - what were they thinking?, FedEx - what the hell? and the Tide ad with the talking stain. As Manny would say, "what the fack?").

The Mets got their man. Santana's now in the orange and blue as the Mets begin their last year at Shea.

The halftime show wasn't bad. There could have been more dancing but I'll give that and Jordan Sparks, who sang the National Anthem an A.

Lastly, two college basketball greats reached milestones. Houston's Tom Penders got win number 600 with the Cougars' victory over Central Florida in Orlando and Univeristy of San Francisco coach Eddie Sutton got win number 800. Memphis struggled against a game Texas-El Paso team but came away with a win and kept their number one ranking, Kansas State found that Missouri loved company and Arizona was no match for UCLA and the Bruins buried the Wildcats at Pauley.

Majerus and Dana Jacobs kept quiet this week, so nothing on them.

Now there's one more football game. I know, ladies, it's the last one of the season. It's the Pro Bowl and then you can make us watch chick flicks until baseball season rolls around.
