    I dint say nothin bout yo mamma. If you lay down the snaps, you won't get banned. If I lay down the snaps, I would be so banned that I would have to find a new country to live in.

    I heard it through the grapevine that you were right about them looking like albino raisins. I was told that eventually they all will have scaffolding ericted around their mugshots for major reconstruction. The was said to cost Polands entire operating budget for 2006.

    ABC sound technicians also had to wrap sound deaden material around each persons joints. The said all of those rattlin old bones was getting into the mix.

    Historically, the Super Bowl is anything but super. Too much hype. Too much distraction. Too much of everything that has nothing to do with the game. Everyone looked out-of sorts Sunday, the players, the coaches, the refs, the entertainment. Too much time off. Too late in the season. Notice how good the playoff games leading up to the Super Bowl usually are? Just play the game already.

    What can you expect from a bunch of 60+ year old, former drug addicted, rocked their butts off for decades, white men to look like? Just be happy that the wind didn't pick up so that all their extra skin started a flappin' in the breeze.

    Well, from a corporate, we want to make money, point of view? Yes, they sure do.
    From a pure sports fan, let's see the game, point of view? Nah.. Tee it up and kick it.

    The build up is fun though. It makes for great parties. And I loved seeing all those old Super Bowls and highlights all weekend.

    Wow! And to think, the only observation I had was the usual "Keith looks like death warmed over" and "Is Ron still in the band?" schtick.

    Hey, if the Florida A&M marching band was good enough for Broadway Joe in SB III, no reason to think we can't bring that kind of halftime entertainment back to the game! When you got people watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials or the halftime entertainment, then something's wrong with that picture!

    What did you expect? They are the Stones!

    Which, at best, are a cheap tribute band of themselves.

    I am all for the marching band during halftime. I did so many halftime shows in my day that I puked green grass for years. The last halftime show I did with the Renegades, we got a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted 3 minutes. That was longer than the home team got!

    I really do think it is time for the NFL to returns to its roots regarding halftime. It is just too commercial to be enjoyable. I do like the commercials though. Sometimes they are more entertaining than the game itself.

    Until the last few years, most of the Superbowls sucked. This years superbowl was one of the worst games ever. Both teams played bad, the referees were terrible- I'm still trying to figure out why no one made a big deal of the play where the Seattle caught the ball and fumbled it 2 seconds later & they called it an incomplete pass, the clock management of Seattle sucked, the Stones and/or their sound system sucked & most of the commercials weren't that good. Really my only quick sports fix is the NCAA Basketball tournament. It's fun to see unheralded players you never heard of, come through & wind up getting drafted and playing in the pros because they caught their attention when they weren't on the radar in the beginning.

    My man says you could hide a roll of nickles in Mich Jagger's face.
    Word is, Keith Richards was cast in "Day of the Living Dead" but didn't need no make up.
    Hair Club for men told Ron Wood that he could be tne new spokeman and resident mop top.

    I am not an RS fan but I felt the sound was atrocious. There was no depth or presence in the sound on Mick's voice or the band in general. It sounded like an old mono recording very poorly recorded. At the very least I have to give Mick credit for singing live and not lip-synching to a recording. Last year's McCartney concert was superb in comparison. Heads should roll for this; to use a very bad expression in today's world. Incidentally I was listening to the DD 5.1 feed.

    I remember seeing the Stones live in the 70's, but there not that great sounding live then and im a huge Stones fan and figured they would sound crappy at the supper bowl to begin with. allthough I have to admit,I may have been just a little impaired at the time if you know what I mean :-)
    I think the Animals may get back together next year for half time! lol
