I live alarmingly too close to that Levi sh#t show, but thought about renting the place out. Saw some houses going for 5k for the week.
Go climb for 5 days, avoid traffic, AND make money. Almost a no brainer.

Buy Target brand jeans. Avoid Levis.

Forget about betting on the game.

Who will give me odds that a seething mass of disaffected people will rise up, and try to reclaim their city?

There have already been several protests over various local grievances. The neo-Yuppies haven't been targeted much, so far, by the people they are displacing, but once the TV cameras start whirring and the disaffected get an audience . . . . . . . .

"Denver Broncos rookie safety Ryan Murphy and his brother were detained and questioned Tuesday as part of a prostitution sting in San Jose, California."

I've got an idea. Let's build a stadium, 60 miles away from the city the team represents.

But at least let's make sure there's no public transportation or other viable infrastructure elements such as hotels and restaurants in the vicinity that might make the experience pleasant.

That way, we can set up a Superbowl City, complete with roving homeless people barking orders to an imaginary parakeet, no where near the site of the game.

I'm about 10 blocks away from the stadium. Security has been high in the air, lots of air traffic by LEO. Unmarked gray choppers I assume are DHS, never seem 'em locally. And Moffett Field is right down the street, home to the 129th Rescue Wing, see lots of their choppers.

Blue Angels are in town too! Saw them landing at Moffett on Thur/Fri.

Has anyone yet forwarded the theory that the NFL's decision to abandon the traditional Roman nomenclature for Arabic (read 'brown-skinned') numerals to represent this year's entertainment for the masses is just another capitulation to non-Judeo-Christian mores and values and has been directly mandated by the godless (or Muslim!) Obama administration, its lackeys in the MSM, and the MI complex?





If not, I got dibs.

Why didn't they accept the inevitable and just call this one Super Bowl LOL?

My astute analysis finds that the game will hinge on the Denver secondary's ability to cover
long enough for their linebackers to get to Newton. Of equal importance will be the ability of
Denver's O line to give Manning 4 seconds. If he gets 4 seconds and their twin running backs
are even moderately suucessful they'll be partaying in Denver. Arm yer stopwatches!

They used to say defense wins championships. Denver may be the best defense..unfortunately Panthers defense is no slouch either.. damn good actually.

So the (near) tie-breaker here is Offense.. and that clearly and by far goes to the Panthers.

Once again I'll be hoping to be proven wrong like I was a couple weeks ago.

I get that. I think having it during daylight it looses a lot of the "light fantastic" that evening games have.
Although from where I sit I could hear a lot of the "booms".

Hey did you just see that special effect of screening off the line of play? That was cool.

sorry Cam, your time, was not this time.

that was a fun game for such a defensive drubbing.

The last fact I just herd,
Cam Newton was the 1st pick of the 2011 draft,
The 2nd pick was tonight's MVP Vohn Miller, twist of irony

Lady Gaga, and anybody else who hams up the anthem, should be whipped. They shoulda
used that NYPD cop who sings at the Yankees games.

Wiener dogs rooled!

My prognostication was almost perfect - Denver's secondary allowed Miller and his mates to
shine. Other than Gin, and the token white boy a couple of times, they locked 'em down.
They shoulda been the group MVP's.

That ref crew sucked bad.

I hope and think Manning will be smart enough to go out on top.

I thought Lady did quite well. The timing of the fly over is always quite stunning to me.
Ads have gone downhill. Too many were PSAs trying to masquerade as cute.
I really wanted an emotionally evoking one like The Farmer from a few years ago or the little lab pup that lead the Cylesdales.

I so totally fell in love with that head ref. I couldn't wait for there to be more calls for him to wave those arms around. The designers of the ref stripes totally know how to place them to enhance those perfectly squared shoulders and narrow waist. Ahhhh.

I'm not a football guy, but I went over and watched the game with my very elderly stepdad. So this was my first Superbowl. I usually like to go to one of the popular climbing areas I avoid like the plague on weekends, since so many folks stay home.

Now he's a football fan, and even he thought it was a colossal waste of time. The high point for me was seeing grown men who just made a fortune losing the game crying.

Seems to me to be a pretty small audience to be buying time @ Superbowl rates.

Lady Gaga was just fine with me. Glad they got in at least of glimpse of the ASL practitioner.
