By now the Super Bowl is pretty much in the back of everyone's mind, but I still have a couple of things I thought were interesting, so I'll post them before moving on.
First, for all the talk before the game about how this was going to be such a boring Super Bowl, there weren't storylines, etc. it turned out that this was the highest rated Super Bowl since 2000. It was watched on about 41.6% percent of the 110 million U.S. homes that have televisions, which is a pretty staggering amount. So much for no one caring about the game.
Second, I thought Mike Holmgren's comments were a little, well, classless, I guess.
"We knew it was going to be tough going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers," Holmgren said. "I didn't know we were going to have to play the guys in the striped shirts as well."
I can understand being upset, but this doesn't seem to set a good precedent. Seems like all he is doing is making excuses. No Mike, I'm sure the awful clock management, and allowing a 75-yard run, a 43-yard WR Reverse Pass, and a 3rd-down conversion on 3rd & 28 had nothing to do with it. I'm assuming Holmgren will get fined for the comments, which seems about right.
But anyway, that's the football season. See you at the draft!
