Denver has the ability to put up a lot fast, I'm surprised they didn't kick the field goal to put them inside 3 touchdowns...

Speaking of inoffensive, Bruno is doing ok.

I don't know why they put the Chili Peppers out there too. They did not meld well with Bruno. It was like mustard frosting on a cake.

Wow. I think we'll be switching over to Downton Abbey at 9:00.

This game is remarkably boring.

Worst ever football.

And they're going to try to run 24 out there again because Fox I guess.

Like your fantasy football team, Mr Football?

That was painful to watch. I didn't really have druthers on which team won, but I like Peyton and expected...well I didn't expect the Broncos to be blown away like that.

And they didn't even have the decency to behead any coaches or referees. hmmmph.

I agree Bruno didn't suck too badly. He didn't do his crying songs. Queen Latifah did a nice job on America the Beautiful and that opera lady was a nice change from the warblers they usually have.

I was offended that there was an ad featuring Prancing Beckham. He's so totally gross. If I had a colored card I'd hold it up to indicate my chagrin. Then I'd behead someone.

I watched the first three quarters. I found it nearly impossible to believe either, a) The Broncos threw the game, or b) Someone drugged the Broncos' Gatorade with a mild sedative.

The whole spectacle from the first insane attempt at a snap to Bruno Mars meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers made me think that there is no driver on the bus.

When did the whole thing turn into a giant music concert, anyway? Queen Latifa, Bruno Mars, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Are there now three halftimes in the game instead of just one? [/haven't watched a Super Bowl since like the late 90s]

That's what I was feeling but couldn't quite put words into it. My cousin touted that Manning is the best quarterback ever and that I will see why. I was a bit flabbergasted while watching the game. Still enjoyed myself since I haven't watched a game since the 80's, hehe.

Normally, Manning is extremely good. But you wouldn't know it from watching that game. Clearly, Seattle has a great defense, and their offense is good too.

I was a little surprised at how loud it was. There were a lot of Seattle fans in that stadium and they made a lot of noise.

Queen Latifah sang America the Beautiful...pregame stuff.

No one knows why the Chili Peppers appeared in the middle of Bruno's performance. I thought they would be cool and he would be so not cool, and it was the other way around!

It was in 1993 that Michael Jackson performed at the Super Bowl and effectively turned the halftime show into a Big Deal. Before that it was a lot of college marching bands and Up With People. (heeeheee, remember them?)

It was like they stole Manning and replaced him with a high school quarterback. "Let's see if anyone notices."

He is SO good. I mean, Seattle's defense was killin'...but for Peyton to look so awful was painful to watch. He seems like a nice guy. I love me some nice guy quarterbacks, so I was disappointed for him.
