After the superbowl

Well the Superbowl is over, and Steelers have won another ring, second in the past 6 years I think.

Here are my thoughts on the game:

1. Commercials sucked. I can't remeber a single one of them. I do remember Danika Patrik trying to get naked for GoDaddy.com
2. Arizona's offense played better than Pittsburgh, IMHO.
3. Arizona's defense made some great stops in the red zone. Unfortunately it got clogged by fouls resulting in some bad bad yeard loss.
4. Second half was way more exciting than the first. In the end I was sitting on the edge of the couch, pulling what hair I have left.
5. Officiating was not very good. But it's not for me to judge.
5a. Roughing the passer call was bogus, Big Ben was out of the pocket.
5b. Roughing the kicker call was bogus, there was absolutely nothing the defensive player could have done to avoid collision.
6. Larry Fitzgerald is AWESOME!

I ate too much pizza complimented by Miller Lite and Buffalo Wild Wings(you can never have enough wings)

And that folks is a wrap for today.

5b. You mean "roughing the holder"? The guy who is not moving and has specific duties that make him entirely defenseless. What do you mean, you cannot avoid a collision with something that is not moving?

Yeah, the holder I think, they called it "unnecessary roughness". But the defender was falling down already. He was pushed from behind, the refs didn't see.

Many strange calls that game.

Crazy ideas - UPDATED

Here's a crazy survey I thought off. If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility. ----UPDATE---- As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable. My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore: a. To the Big Bang b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly. f. Suggested by Ilya . Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket. e. Try to see if Atlantis existed. f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun. I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point. I still rather see the dinosaurs.

Weekend update

Finally some beautiful weather here in Chicago. We have decided to go to our regular hunting grounds at Lincoln Park Zoo. We slept well into the morning, picked up our good friends and in the company of four adults and three children went to see the animals. The photographer in me was screaming bloody murder to go out and make pictures. Thankfully my wife was very tolerant this time around with me running around like a madman taking picture of anything that moved. Lincoln Park Zoo is a great little place. It's free (if you don't consider $17 parking) they have all the animals kids love to see, and none of the animals where you stand scratching your head wondering how do you explain platipus to a 5-year-old. One bad thing that happened today, is I think i forgot to close the car, and somebody got in and stolen my Magellan GPS. Luckily nothing else was in the car, so other then that the car remained untouched. Unpleasant, but I have only myself to blame, and I think I'll live...

Sunday Night Blogging.

I used to hate olives. Really really hate them, to a point of gagging. I have recently tried on a personal dare to eat the big green greek olives with crap stuffed inside of them. Some think it's anchowies, some think it's salmon, i think it's pepper. I've bought a small cup of them yesterday. They were with peppers inside of them, little red jalapenos, sticking out a bit. For those of my readers who ever had a male dog, the picture is precisely what you are thinking. I am not saying anything else. BTW, the peppers were spicy, although not too spicy. My little one take a look at one of them and proudly declares: "Daddy, the chiken almost got out of that one!" And here's the offending fruit (berry? vegetable? what is an olive?) just before I devoured it.
