Winners and Losers from Super Bowl XL
Just some short thoughts...
Winners
The City of Pittsburgh - One for the thumb and a chance to rub it in the Browns' fans faces.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick - they weren't in the game, but still we were force-fed the sports media's continual butt kissing of them.
Trick Plays - Randall El's sweet pass to Ward shows that trick plays work as well in the pros as in the Pop Warner leagues.
My wife - not only did she have a great party, it was nice to see her team win.
The Magic Bullet - not only did it make my salsa in record time, it made over a quart of it, and a HUGE bowl of guacamole. That saves money!
Losers
Detroit - A city with a rich and diverse musical heritage gets shut out for the half time show.
Diet Pepsi - Brown and Bubbly? Some advertising agency is firing some people today for coming up with that one.
The "Here We Go" song - Since the Steelers got that one for the thumb, it looks like 26 years of tradition have been flushed down the toilet and they'll have to write new lyrics.
Jack Tatum - The Assassin did not leave a good impression with fans after his pregame, prerecorded interview. In fact, the interview and the bad taste it left in my mouth (and I presume many others) seemed to be in an odd place given the festive atmosphere of the Super Bowl.

I'm sure the Bullet did a wonderful job--it was probably more fun that the "Big Game," since we're not allowed to use the "Su__r B__l" word.
I bet the guacamole was made with fresh guacamolies.
I bet too, that Bobby drank plenty of brown and bubbly, made in Iron City, PA.
Gotta love those guacamolies! Almost as much as those kiwis... oh wait, that's a bird, or is it a person?!?!
Anyway, way to go Steelers!!!
