The Superbowl Pre-game Show is Too Long and Too Boring!

**Ninong** · 02-04-2007, 03:33 PM

I don't know which is worse, two-year presidential campaigns or 3-1/2 hr Superbowl pre-game shows!

P.S. -- I guess I could always switch the channel but I might miss something if I do that.

Colts!

They have some fat white chick with waist length straight blonde hair, dressed all in black with black high-heeled boots that Condi Rice would kill for, singing off-key right now.

She sounds like one of the rejects from American Idol. I'm not sure they even gave her name. Whoever she is, she sucks!

P.S. -- If she had a black hat and tambourine, she could join the Salvation Army.

J.B. just said "it's just over an hour to go before kickoff."

Can't he afford a watch! It's just over two hours to go before kickoff, unfortunately!

OK, someone just corrected him on-air.

That's almost as bad as Terry Bradshaw the other day saying that it was "Superbowl Twenty-One" that was coming up. Terry never was any good with Roman numerals!

**Ninong** · 02-04-2007, 04:26 PM

Was anybody surprised that Brett Favre decided he's going to play another season? I wonder if we will have to go through this same thing again after next season?

I don't think he's ever going to quit unless he can't walk out onto the field anymore.

**Ninong** · 02-04-2007, 05:02 PM

I liked the Hines Ward segment. That was pretty cool.

***Reefland*** · 02-04-2007, 05:04 PM

Go COLTS!!!

Which would she kill for? The chick or the boots?

**schrocat** · 02-04-2007, 05:22 PM

The wife is rooting for the Colts, and I'm silently rooting for the Bears.

If I am not mistaken That was Stevie Nicks/ Fleetwood Mac

GO BEARS

I think you're right. According to her Wikipedia entry, she's 58, so maybe she looks good for 58???

Her hair was straight as straw and nothing like her Wikipedia photo. She was flat and off key and the black dress with the big bow looked like a Salvation Army uniform.

P.S. -- According to her Wikipedia entry, she is talented in vocals and tambourine.

P.P.S. -- Billy Joel is currently screwing up the Star-spangled Banner!

:slap:

I meant the boots!

P.S. -- Maybe they'll get Melissa Etheridge to sing the Star-spangled Banner while Condi Rice accompanies her on the piano?

Sloppy first quarter for both teams, but congrats to Chicago for having the lead at this point.

They didn't have it for long.

It could be worse:

Most Fumbles Both Teams, Game — 12, Buffalo (8) vs. Dallas (4), 1993.

Am I the only one having problems with the signal breaking up? I'm watching it on the CBS HD channel and it's constantly breaking up. In fact, I didn't get to see that last field goal attempt live. I had to watch the replay.

And right now I have no audio at all. The audio went out about right at the half and it hasn't come back on yet.

**Ninong** · 02-04-2007, 08:09 PM

The CBS HD broadcast has frozen up. No audio and a freeze frame picture from several minutes ago but the regular CBS channel is working. Looks like Prince is bouncing around on stage right now.

**charlie** · 02-04-2007, 08:15 PM

I am watching it on my dish George, and no problems. I think the rain got in the hd.

Something must have gotten to it. The local CBS station has two channels, one regular and one HD, but they usually broadcast on 4:3 ratio even on their HD channel.

The HD signal has been breaking up all day, even during the over-long, boring pre-game show. Then the audio went out right at the half and then, a few minutes later, the picture froze up.

I had to switch to the regular CBS channel and I'm watching it in 4:3 right now. Looks like Prince did Purple Rain in a downpour!

P.S. -- I don't have a dish. I have Charter Communications cable. They're terrible!

P.P.S. -- Looks like all of the commercials are lousy this year!

**charlie** · 02-04-2007, 08:39 PM

I haven't seen a gutbuster commercial yet either. I knew you were on cable, kind of sounds like our local one too!!!
Oh well, at least you get the regular channel and aren't blacked out all together.
