They’d done better doing the Brady Bunch theme. More recognizable, than the SW evil empire theme. And they’d only need nine dogs, in the familiar 3×3 shot. No need for a dog in a wig.

Here’s what I have against the Superbowl. And any other football game called a “bowl”. It’s got NOTHING to do with BOWLING!! It’s because a few stadiums it’s played in is bowl shaped? That’s lame. Well so is the Hollywood Bowl. And that’s got nothing to do with having concerts there. They don’t call any event there is a “Bowl”. “The Beach Boys Bowl”? “The Jefferson Starship Bowl?” NO!

Why the hell can’t the NFL get its own term for playing football, other than “Bowl”? Baseball has the “World Series”. Which is a little ambiguous, but nobody else uses it, so I guess it’s ok. Tennis and Golf share the title “US Open”. I don’t know why. Maybe something to do with the games being “open” to individual players, not teams.

So with all the money the NFL makes from ticket sales, and Tv spots. Why can’t it come up with its own special final game title? I think it’s because football is basically thought as entertainment for morons, who can’t handle an unfamiliar title. So rather than risk fan confusion. They’re sticking with “Super-Bowl”. That way they’ve got part of Superman, and part of Bowling. As though, if Superman went bowling, the results would be a SuperBowl game. Which again, has nothing to do with Football. But I’m guessing the lowbrows who created this game, couldn’t think of anything better to call it. So is the Superbowl always played in “bowl” shaped stadiums?

Well the Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan is a “field” not a “bowl”.
The Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia is a “dome” not a “bowl”.
Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, again not a “bowl”. The Rose and Orange Bowl, are the only bowls the Superbowl has ever been held in. The vast majority are just stadiums, and a couple are domes. And I’m sure they’re all chosen, based on capacity, rather than their shape. So I’m not buying the “bowl” argument.

Until the name of the game reflects what it actually is. I’m having nothing to do with the Superbowl. They’d stole the lime light, that should have been major league bowling’s. The “Superbowl” ought to be the best damn game of bowling, played all year. But now, that will never happen. Thanks to the NFL.

I saw this a few days ago elsewhere. Listened. Didn’t really “hear” the Starwars theme. Gave up. Just did it again. As my mother, the first place winner in several violin playing competitions told me: “You can’t carry a tune in a bucket.” Seems she heard that as a child and passed it along to me. To her, as a rebuke, to me with a smile and a pat on the shoulder.

Sports.

I enjoy playing all sports. Can’t stand watching any sport.

Liberals vs Conservatives. I wonder if due to their intelligence differences they watch sports any differently?

As a liberal, I say yes. Stupid dumb ass conservatives will say there is no difference, sports are watched by both. And that is true: as a liberal, if I ever watch a sport, it is to note the skill, technique, planning, sacrifice plays, pysch outs, hints for my own development and so forth. I note my contrarian knuckle draggers watch to see who wins, or more importantly, who looses.

Yes, like everything else in life, we are all the same yet different at the same time: we all watch sports, we all watch sports for different reasons. We all make of it what we will.

Yea, verily.
