Super Bowl XLI

Tonight was probably one of the lamest super bowls I have ever watched. I was rooting for the Colts and I think Tony Dungy is a great coach, a great human being I am very happy he won. However, there was an element of excitement missing from this game that is usually present at other super bowl games. I think maybe because it wasn't a close game so there weren't really any nail biting exciting moment. Further, it started off lame from the get go. Billy Joel did a lame ass job at the national anthem, it was totally void of feeling and meaning. I remember when Beyonce sang the national anthem at the super bowl a couple of years ago in Houston and it shook her to the core, she sang it like she meant it. Billy Joel was a disgrace. Then came the half time show with Prince. It was awful!!! Ever since Janet Jackson's Nipplegate the half time shows have become more and more pathetic. Tonight I wasn't sure if Prince was singing/screeching/mumbling/whining or a mixture of all the above. Prince was a thing of the past. He is not a legend anymore. They should have had Bon Jovi, Springsteen, Gloria Estefan (since she only lives minutes from the stadium), Kelly Clarkson - ANYONE but Prince. This was probably Prince's only super bowl. He was absolutely terrible.

In any case, I enjoyed watching the Colts win. I think Dungy is a great coach and a real role model. It was quite moving to see Dungy hug Lovie Smith when the game was over. Smith was the linebackers coach under Dungy when he coached the Buccs.

Congratulations Tony Dungy for a job well done and an honor well deserved.
