Friday's show at Maryland was off the hizze and onto something else. Great times. Thanks to all those that put the show on, that attended and to the Matts for getting things going. Ryan Conner captured the crowd without acting like...me. Awesome stuff. I wish I knew how to do that. The dude is so chill but everyone listens. I have to jump up and down and make silly noises to keep their attention and he does it with funny jokes. He is cool and collected and I sweat like a prisoner with a tongue-ring. Advantage Conner.
Fun Superbowl party, terrible Super Bowl. I am glad the Steelers won as my boy Bryan is happy and I think the Seahawks are annoying. 10 game comments:
1) Jeremy Stevens is a scared soft little punk who should have to stand in a batting cage and do the Happy Gilmore until he toughens up a little bit. That dude heard more footsteps than the white chick in a haunted house movie. Hard to make big plays with hands around your throat. Way to back up the talk big cat. He may not have had a good game, but at least he commits sexual assaults and beats people up. Great dude...Except the opposite.
2) Jeremy Stevens could kill me in an instant and I would never tell him these things to his face.
3) The referees were abysmal. They didn't decide the game as some would have you believe but they were way to prominent in steering its direction. No need to go into the specific plays, but there were several really bad penalties called against Seattle that took away some of the good things they did and really turned the tide. Seattle outplayed Pittsburgh with the exception of 3 big Steeler offensive plays. The Steelers couldn't manage a loud fart for the better part of the game on offense (only 14 first downs and 50% of their offensive output came on 3 plays) and Seattle was moving the ball but couldn't punch it in. The only point here is that officials, all season and especially in the playoffs, have been way too prominent. Its like they are looking to make the big call or something. Why would you ever want to be a ref? I've never met someone who aspired to be a ref. "I'd like the best case scenario to be that no one notices me...worst case scenario, I'm hated by millions of people but I'm cool with that..."
4) We ate TurDucken. Amazing. If you don't know, now you know.
5) The commercials were not good. Really disappointed with that. Step it up ad people.
6) The 2 week layoff is shameful. Ruins the whole momentum of games and such. Every possible story line is completely exhausted by the Wed before kickoff so the media has to invent new ones. The NFL moves the game back so it falls into February sweeps. I am officially asking that whatever sweeps is, can it be moved up a week so that the game is when it should be? Its not as bad as college bowl games a month after the season is over but its close.
7) If you are a girl and you are going to watch the Superbowl and cheer for a team, please be sure that you have at least a rudimentary understanding of the game of football. If you do not, awkwardness and irritation will follow. Your best bet is to quietly ask your boyfriend what is going on but do not do so during game action less you be dubbed a sucky girl which will ultimately make it more difficult for you to see said bf as his friends will not like/approve of you and force him to pit you against them as he chooses who he spends time with and when he chooses you they will resent you instead of him which can lead to unpleasantness which could have been avoided if you'd asked for a rule clarification instead of yelling at everyone to be quiet during the commercials. This is not about someone I know, it just occured to me as I was writing that I would be annoyed by this.
8) I get confused by people who don't watch the superbowl. I didn't watch the world series one year (NY vs NY) because no matter who won, we all lost but the Superbowl is different. You watch it. You just do it. If you don't get it, doesn't matter. It is such a spectacle that there is going to be something you enjoy. Even if you are an uber-hippie, you still have to see what you are rebelling against. Watch the superbowl.
9) If you go to a superbowl party where you don't know many people (especially the hosts), don't immediately roll in and take the best seat on the couch and be the first in line for food. People will think you are a d*ck and they would be right. You are a d*ck. Take the bad seat and see what opens up as the game goes on. Seriously, this will help you make friends.
10) If you are my best friend and your name is Jon and you wanted to watch the animal planet have cats prancing around a makeshift football field to make your new ladyfriend happy, don't be surprised when there is backlash because its gay. Not dude on dude gay, but gay like I can't believe he's already this whipped when he is the first one to point out that other people are whipped and he is right when he points it out because he is a very astute guy. Just quietly blame your boys as to why you couldn't watch the cats and go back to watching football. I like you though and this is friendly advice as we go forward in '06 because we are all about giving love this year.
