08 Madden Cover
Just heard it was going to be Eli Manning. Maybe they shoulda just killed the curse by going Shaun Taylor? Not in a mean way. Taylor was a stud and it could have been a nice tribute to his passing. Maybe with a little luck the curse would have passed also.
The Superbowl Shuffle Never Looked So Good
Random Superbowl Thoughts
The Giants D-line should have been the MVP.
Spygate? Everyone tries to steal signals. It’s not that big of deal. I’m sure some defenses know opposing QB’s audibles. If you really want to level the playing field you need to look into things like the Vikings piping in additional noise. The Packers turning off heaters on opponent sidelines, head set communication going dead in the last 2 minutes of the game (Right Brian Griese?).
Petty was good, I want ACDC for a 1/2 time show
For me, the best game along with the biggest upset is when Elway got his first ring over the heavily favored Packers in San Diego.
1. Why didn’t Belichick make better half time adjustments?
The first half played exactly the same as the first half except NE did not get any turnovers and NYG actually scored in the red zone instead of either turning the ball over or kicking a fg.
2. Why did Belichick go for it on 4th & 13?
Certainly that didn’t change the game but what the heck? That was one stupid call. It gave any momentum NE had back the G-men.
Can you say “out coached”?
The play that Manning scrambled and hit David Tyree was the best Superbowl signature moment since “The Catch”.
Nationl Anthem Fenway Park
It was Disability Awareness day and the folks at Fenway did a lot of great things for kids with challenges..here is one who sang and when he got nervous the Fenway Faithful helped him out.
WHO’S IN SHAQ’S FIVE?!
Extra TV has posted a pdf of Shaq’s financial affidavit from his divorce. How this stuff is made public with his address and earnings is beyond me. But I did see a few items that are just nuts.
The daddy has monthly telephone expenses of $3,345. Maybe he calls Vlade a lot in Serbia. Maybe he forgot to hang up.
The daddy has monthly electric costs of $10,065.
While the daddy spends $12,775 on monthly food and home supplies, he spends only $500 a month on “meals outside home”.
The daddy drops over $24k per month on gasoline and oil expenses. I’m guessing Daddy don’t own no hybrids.
The daddy has a monthly clothing allowance of over 17k. He also has monthly dry cleaning and laundry costs of $6,730. If you spend over $17k a month on clothes, do you really even need to re-wear them? What exactly are they washing those clothes in? Champagne?
While the daddy spends only $330 monthly on entertainment, his monthly vacation costs are over $110k.
This may seem very extravagant to you. But realize, the daddy does his part. He pays about $469k a month in taxes. And over $75k in property taxes. And he takes care of his environmental responsibilities by spending $1,610 per month on pool and lawn care.
The daddy doles out a whopping $1,495 per month on cable tv. Shaq, step away from the remote, man. What are you watching anyway?
