Super Bowling!


Well, the Green Bay Packers pulled it off. They defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in yesterday's big game by the score of 31-25. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay quarterback) was the MVP and you can be sure that he will make a few bucks in endorsements in the coming months. Jordy Nelson, wide receiver from KSU had a great game (even thought he dropped a few passes). And Ben Roethlisberger will have to wait another year to get that third ring as a Steeler QB.

I was glad to see the Packers win, mainly because I'm a Jordy Nelson fan. -farm kid from Kansas who makes it big - I like that! I also was pulling for Rodgers who has had to live in the shadow of Brett Favre for many years. Now maybe that monkey can find another back to make its home. And to see the Packers win such a big game in the midst of all the injuries, you got to give it to them. Congrats!!

I mentioned in church that the winner would probably be the team that took advantage of the opportunites that would present themselves and was I right or what? 3 turnovers translated to 21 points - enough said! Good game though. Lot's of fun!

EXCEPT for the national anthem, the half-time show, and some of the commercials!! Come on Christina - get the words right! There is no prize for how many syllables you can pack into one word or how long you can make the song last. Yikes!! She made the dogs in Dallas howl! And talk about howling - what in the world was that 30 minutes of stuff that was defined as a half-time show? Black-eyed peas?? I get the name, for it was indeed a "black eye" for the super bowl. Maybe they are in good in concert, but yesterday it was awful!! (Yes, my opinion) - we can agree to disagree but according to all the talk on the tube, most agree with me. And last but not least, the commercials. Some were funny - the monkeys, the Dorito chips, the beaver. But do we have to keep stooping to all the sexual innuendos in these ads? Come on - if you have a good product, advertise it and maybe I'll buy it. I don't need the "skin" to entice me. Besides, skin wrinkles!!

Okay, enough for now! JUST some thoughts and comments. The game was great, hard fought and close. That's the way it should be. Until next year....................................................................

It is said that if one cannot remember the product or service offered in a commercial, but remembers the rest of it, it is a bad commercial. That can also be a reminder to us. If we put too much into telling others all of the side-benefits of Christianity, will they remember the basic story? (God made it good. Mankind messed up. God's plan to fix it was fulfilled by Jesus Christ. We need to ask to get pulled out of the mess we are in).
