What is not fair to compare?
Probably so.

I say sitting back and not making some money when you could is just plain LAZY!
We all have our opinions.

The Who.
They played the half-time show at the Super Bowl. Thought they did ok, so did the other folks I watched with from the garage. Today, my radio station is SLAMMING the crap out of them.
Now they've gone as far to say they like Bruce Springsteen better...
WEEI, STOP IMMEDIATLY!~
P-
Halftime entertainment and the advertisements were second rate. I love Etrade Baby.

I had a dream about this last night. Believe it or not. We were all at a meet-up and I was holding back at the entrance gate: didn't want to give out my name for fear of being recognized in person, preferring to remain anonymous. Starrman has done the unthinkable in that he has named names... his own.
That, I salute.

not saying it was a bad game, it wasn't but it lacked something that the previous 2 superbowls had. almost seemed like the two best teams of the season were cancelling each other out.
plus i thought the halftime shoe was rank. but i don't like the who sooo...

professional sports. The positive countervailing tension between equals is exquisite.
