Super Bowl Reflections

One more biggest game of the year is behind us and here's some reflections:

Rex Grossman wasn't ready. Peyton Manning was. It was a good game, but the Colts cleaned house. Clearly the better team. But here's what I really want to talk about.

I counted four times when Marvin Harrison ran out of bounds instead of lowering his head and plowing forward for another three yards. It's been slowly happening and I noticed it a lot last season. TO, Harrison, Kennison. They all would rather run out of bounds and not get a first down than take a hit. When receivers are sliding to avoid hits like QBs do, it's not the NFL anymore. So, in the grand tradition of guys who couldn't do what pro athletes do on XBOX let alone in real life, I want all the pro athletes out there reading Bustle to listen up...........MAN UP!!! We pay you millions of dollars to get hit, to get that first down no matter what it takes, no matter if you leg breaks and three guys have your facemask, get the first down!! For the love of Ditka...lower you sholder, bite your lip, and power through.

And how superbad was Prince? Awesome, totally awesome. That little transexual can play a guitar. Prince covering the Foo Fighters...Awesome.

Next year, if I hear Super Monday, once...I might punch someone. And, ESPN? It's time to stop talking about it. It happened. The Colts were on fire. Move on.

Just some random rantings on the biggest week in football. Gotta go do homework.

Peace, B

I couldn't believe the opening kick off run back. And I really do love to watch Peyton Manning work. He's intense and he's very good, often throwing while backing up or in the grasp of a defender. But for the most part, a fairly bland do. JB
