- Except for the Dixie Chicks, Bon Jovi, No Doubt and Sting, every single one of those performances was faked. They were playing and singing along to a recording. Case in point: Michelle Branch cannot harmonize to herself. No one can, at least not at the same time. I also found it very interesting that Shania Twain was bouncing all over the stage and clapping against the microphone, but we weren't hearing any of the banging from the microphone being hit or any breathing she was doing.
- The Oakland Raiders disgraced themselves. Completely. You can't just show up for a game and then start playing to win in the fourth quarter.
- John Madden still annoys the ever-loving bejeezus out of me. The man talks for hours about nothing, and he talks over the officials so he can continue making his nonsensical points. Watching a game where he's the commentator is like watching Seinfeld as performed by the world's least amusing Japanese kabuki theatre mime/interpretative dance group.
- When the local ABC affiliate here in L.A. did their little "watch our news show after Alias," I watched them do their 5-second recap of the Super Bowl and jokingly said to my roommate, "And tonight, police attempt to contain rioting in Oakland as the natives express their displeasure..." About three seconds after I said that, they put up pictures of people rioting in Oakland and the news anchor began talking about police battling the locals up there as they swarmed the streets, setting fire to things and smashing other things. How uncomfortably predictable.
- The "Terry Tate: Office Linebacker" commercials are some of the funniest I've ever seen. Go now and watch the rest. I said NOW, dammit!
