As the time ran out on the Bears, Mike Muller had the closest pick (with the correct team). Mike Muller predicted 28-17, followed by Jeff Perdick who had 27-17.
I admit, I did not think Rex was such a wreck, and boy was he "Gross" man.
The game was full of firsts: 1- Tony Dungy was the first black coach to win a superbowl (but that first was going to happen if it were Dungy or Smith), 2- Hesker was the first to run back the opening kickoff (92 yards and barely touched), 3- it was the first Superbowl to be played entirely in the rain (that is hard to believe since it was the 41st Superbowl.
I was thoroughly entertained by the game, the half-time show, and the commercials. The game was entertaining (though, I wanted the Bears to win), Prince made me think I was DJing at the high school again (Purple Rain in the rain, how fitting), and for the most part, the commercials were great.
My favorite commercials (1-3) are: 1) Carlos Mencia teaching foreign men how to deal with Budweiser, 2) Blockbuster animated "mouse" commercial, and 3) the Doritos commercial where the girl butts head with the side of the car (have to admit, did not see THAT coming).
Well, for all you football fans, you still have the Pro Bore (I mean, Pro Bowl) next Saturday. And, of course, there is always the NFL network. And also, for those of you looking forward to Super Bowl XLII, it is in Arizona at the new 355 million dollar Cardinals stadium (where, if it rains, they will put the dome up).
Andrea, can you get us some seats and lodging?
