super bowl post game thoughts

while it snows outside i thought id just give a quick opinion on the super bowl, which i watched this morning starting at 8am on japanese tv...they basically just use the abc feed and use 2 japanese commentators, but theres no commericals of any kind (usually a good thing except for the super bowl with those special ads) and nhk seems to send one cameraperson to the game to take video during the breaks and zoom in on any japanese person they can find. ie: during two timeouts there was a water bottle girl on the pittsbugh sideline who looked japanese, so the camera followed her and whichever steeler player she was providing h2o to at the moment for about 1-2 minutes. i think she was probably chinese, but whatever.

for the game itself, it was a bit disappointing, both teams didnt play very well but the team that played better lost. seattle was the victim of both poor officiating and bad luck. darrell jackson got a td taken away for no reason and i still think the football never crossed the pane of the goalline during ben roethlisburgers draw play. and every time they were driving down the field and went for a big play it was taken back either by a bad penalty or a jerramy stevens drop. at least im not my roommate mike, who bet my roommate paul 10000 yen on the game (about 100 bucks canadian)...he might struggle for money this week.
