Chewy nuggets of Super Bowl review
Sports Reporter
Whoo! I think I have finally recovered from watching Super Bowl XLIII. I'd like to join the legions of writers who have cited the game as one of the best ever. I was on the edge of my seat right up until the end when the Steelers pulled it out just like I told you they would. I knew they wouldn't let me down.
Too much attention has been given to questionable officiating throughout the game. Seriously, it's the Super Bowl! I was really annoyed by the number of penalties called on both teams. I think next year a cap on penalties would be a nice improvement. After the number has been reached, just kick players out. Make things a little more interesting.
I thought the halftime show was just fantastic and was glad that Bruce Springsteen geared his set a bit more towards his own fans than just a massive American public. Again, I have a suggestion for a bit more fun next year. How about instead of limiting the big name act to a hyped-up halftime performance of a whopping 12 minutes, why not hire a house band for the game? Convert one of those silly luxury box sections into a live stage and let the guests play throughout the entire game, but only on the field during halftime. I'd also like to suggest Van Halen as next year's band. Just a thought.
It's been a wild and wacky season, dear readers, but I am confident that the Lombardi Trophy went home with the right team. Whoo!
