I'm really not a big football fan but occasionally will watch a good game. Yesterday's 43rd Superbowl was indeed one of those good games. Both teams played exceptionally well in their respective halves. Arizona bounced back enough to make Pittsburgh sweat about prospectively losing until that last second ballerina catch in the deep corner of the end-zone. Definitely the MVP of the game.
One might've thought James Harrison with his record breaking 100 yard interception run would've qualified him for the MVP spot... but his bashing and shoving of a Cardinal later on in the game lost whatever admiration I had for the man.
There were a lot of personal fouls (mostly Cardinals) in the game, lending itself to the idea that the game is becoming increasingly violent or volatile. Oh sure it's a rough and tumble kind of game but that's all part of the blocks and tackles that come with it, but the shoving, punching, and face-
mask penalties that have been cropping up here and there is leading one to think that it's going to get a lot rougher before it gets softer.
Like I said I like football but only in small dosages.
Oh and I could've done without Springsteen's crotch sliding into the camera like it did...
