JSngry Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 There were no road crews anywhere in the metroplex except to serve the NFL. Kids were out of school for four days & businesses took huge hits in productivity due to workers not being able to get to work. I'm still watching the game, of course, but hey -fuck Jerry Jones and fuck the NFL. Quote

Jim, if the Super Bowl visitors were to have problems with the ice, etc., Dallas would be remembered in newspapers for decades as the city that clusterfucked the Super Bowl. Surely that bad reputation would hurt the economy worse than the business lost due to lack of productivity for a week, don't you think? Quote

Surely that bad reputation would hurt the economy worse than the business lost due to lack of productivity for a week, don't you think? Are you serious? There's no in between? The NFL/Super Bowl should be empowered to totally shut down the lives of millions of people lest we offend the Sports Pimps and get bitch-slapped for our self-respect? You're talking to the wrong person if you think that even begins to make sense to me! Make no mistake - a lot of local life was totally shut down because not one major commercial thoroughfare that did not lead to Jerry World got even a few grains of sand or salt. I seriously doubt that the Media Machine put that out there, I know they didn't locally (you want a clustersuck, that was local media sucking on the NFL/Jerry tip all week long, reporting on the weather but still pretending that it was all going down "naturally"...), but believe me, plenty plenty of local folk are livid about this). On top of that, schools had to be shut down for four days. That has never happened here to my knowledge, even on the one or two times there have been worse storms than this. There will be makeup days at the end of May, and everybody will be thrilled about that,... What this Super Bowl will be remembered for decades as it The Event That Clusterfucked The Metroplex. Not that they care. Would that it would have been the other way around. So yeah, absolutely - fuck Jerry Jone, and fuck the NFL. Quote

Sounds like anyone that ever lived near an Olympics or World Cup since about 1990. I'm done with the whole thing. Mega-sports events are an abomination on every level, and I'm just not interested.

Super Bowl flyover during national anthem cost taxpayers $450,000, but was not seen or heard by fans at game...because the roof was closed. Evidently it was done for the benefit of the game's many TV viewers. Oh, and yes, don't forget the Kenny G as prison warden ad! Edited February 7, 2011 by ghost of miles Quote

I've tuned in now with seven minutes to go in the third quarter, and I expect to listen to the end.

JSngry Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Great game, and much to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed the Black Eyed Peas in a weird kind of" Busby Berkley it's got nothing at all to do with "music"" kind of way, but....kids out of school for four days, four days productivity (and in many cases, wages) lost, people exposed to unecessary danger becuse zero road work was done to clean up the ice and then the snow, except for Jerry World and points directly connecting there unto, where I'm told it looked like freakin' July... I am not impressed, not at all, so fuck Jerry Jones and fuck the NFL all the way from here to there, back again, and then over to you, Troy. Quote

Evidently it was done for the benefit of the game's many TV viewers. Oh, and yes, don't forget the Kenny G as prison warden ad! I guess the halftime show might occasionally appeal to some, but all I've watched for many years now is the game itself. It's easy to avoid the (pop singers' opportunity to butcher the) national anthem. The tricky part is knowing when the second half is going to kick off. I used to look forward to the ads throughout the game, but now I think they're generally trying way too hard, and mostly failing. Pepsi and Mercedes did especially poorly, I thought. I think I laughed once- at a Doritos ad. Edited February 7, 2011 by Jim R Quote
jlhoots Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Well I'm glad Green Bay won. The snow & ice removal situations in Dallas are disgraceful. However, 30,000 homes here in New Mexico have been without natural gas for 5 days. Many of these are in areas with below zero temps.. Apparently has something to do with the delivery of natural gas from Texas to the area. So "BOO" for Texas on more than one account. Quote
gmonahan Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 -fuck Jerry Jones and fuck the NFL. I sure wish Jim would quit holding back and tell us what he *really* thinks! gregmo Quote
Larry Kart Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Really good game for all the usual reasons, plus the relatively unusual in my experience injuries-to-key- players factor (this fortunately without guys being carried off on gurneys). For a while there, it looked like GB not might have a defensive backfield left. Terrific play by Matthews to cause that fumble, but I'd say that 99 percent of the backs in the NFL would have lost their grip when someone puts their helmet right on the ball with that much force. The real culprits there were the nameless Steelers who failed to block Matthews and the other Packer on that play, and let's not forget the play call there on both sides -- Mendenhall after all was hit three yards behind the line, deep in GB territory, when the Steelers had been rolling.

Christiern Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 The only thing "super" about the Super Bowl telecasts is, imho the occasional imaginative commercial. Now these ads can be seen online, severely reducing the value of the over-hyped game itself. Yes, yes, I know there are sports fanatics in every corner of the world, but... Quote

Quincy Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Will we still be using Roman numerals when we get to Super Bowl L? Why not? Especially with 59 not being that far away. What city gets LIX? Maybe Charlie Sheen's porn "star" can be involved in the ceremonies. Quote
Brad Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Based on what Jim says, I'll be cringing when they have the Super Bowl in 2014 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Fortunately, I live 45 minutes away but if just your ordinary game days are any indication, oh my god! My son and I went to the last Jets regular season game. Parking was a joke. When the SB comes, Route 3 and Rutherford and environs will be one place to avoid. Quote
RDK Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Will we still be using Roman numerals when we get to Super Bowl L? Super Bowl XXXXX looks cooler. Quote
Neal Pomea Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 We will probably also add umlauts over the p and the w in Super Bowl. You know, to toughen up our image! http://www.theonion.com/search/?q=toughens+image+with+umlauts Quote
