Until Super Bowl XLVI.  (Feb, 5, 2012)  I hear the pre-game show starts next week.

–

So Elton John allowed “Tiny Dancer” to be used in a Super Bowl commercial. Well, it’s less of a sellout than performing at Rush Limbaugh’s latest wedding… 

–



A commercial for the NFL says “The path to the Draft” starts tomorrow. The NFL Draft is in April. Perfect for all those who think there just wasn’t enough pre-Super Bowl coverage.

–

And a sure sign of Super Bowl Sunday morning…. avocados beng snatched up at the local Safeway faster than Wonka bars when there was a Golden Ticket inside.

–

The Black Eyed Peas represented  real change for the Super Bowl. For the first time in recent memory, the halftime act might have been younger than most of the players on the field.

–

At one point in the second half,  former Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers was looking for ANYTHING to jump start the offense and help his team score.  Rumor has it an all-points bulletin was put out for the Stanford band?

–

It doesn’t hurt though when a team stops dropping catchable balls.  Wonder if Packers coach Mike McCarthy called a quick sideline meeting with Green Bay receivers – in American football, you are allowed to use your hands.

–

–

Christina Aquilera today became the latest singer to botch the lyrics to the National Anthem. Where’s the ghost of Mitch “follow the bouncing ball” Miller, when you really need him? (Anyone too young to get that reference, try Google.)

–

There was a mixup where temporary seats at Cowboys stadium weren’t completed to the satisfaction of the fire marshall. Which resulted in over 400 people who expected to be at the Super Bowl not being able to get into the game. Over 450 if you counted the roster of the Dallas Cowboys.

–

Okay, so much for that 2011 made-for-TV movie “Ben Roethlisberger – Victory and Redemption.”

–

Ben Roethlisberger certainly tried enough passes in the Super Bowl. But mostly with the kind of results that must have reminded him of being in a bar with college girls.

–

Quote of the week? From Patti Davis, Ronald Reagan’s daughter about two would-be-heirs to her father’s legacy – Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. “My father was a Rhodes Scholar compared to them.

–

And now that football is over….I’ve joked about what would happen if the Washington Wizards (0-25 on the road) travelled to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers (0-24 period.)? And my friend John points out this will happen, Feb 13. So after the Super Bowl, mark your calendar of basketball’s equivalent of the Toilet Bowl.
