Super Bowl XLVI
Just like the elections…I’ll be glad when this game is over. Hopefully the commercials and Madonna will be entertaining.

The NFL screwed these people. Many didn’t even get inside the stadium.
And others gladly paid up to USD400.00 to stand outside the stadium. What is wrong with these people who are willing to part with their money so stupidly? Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers who defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25.

Christina Aguilera’s rendition of the National Anthem
was horrendous. Why are singers allowed to sing the Star Spangled Banner this way. It should be respected and sung as written by Francis Scott Key, to the tune of a popular British drinking song. Since her singing was so awful, I didn’t stay in the den while her screaming voice boomed through the surround speakers. I also didn’t notice she had repeated the second line of the first stanza with a twist. What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming, became…What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last gleaming, instead of what she should have sung which was…O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? The fans at Cowboys Stadium who were perhaps happy Christina Aguilera had finished her rendition applauded and cheered her off the stage quickly. In case you haven’t heard her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner I will warn you not to click on the link. It is torture to hear her screams.

O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Super Bowl XLV Packers vs. Steelers is 90
minutes away from kickoff and some temporary seats are still not ready at Cowboys Stadium.
For now, fans that affected are being directed to the Party Plaza area outside the stadium until the issue is resolved.
If fans’ seats are not ready for game time, the NFL said that they will be refunded triple the face value of their ticket.
Here is the NFL’s statement in full:
“There are a limited number of sections in temporary seating areas in side the stadium that have not been fully completed. We are working to resolve the matter and expect that by game time most of the fans afected will have been accomodated in their seats or relocated to similar or better seats.
“Those fans that are affected by this will be directed to the Party Plaza area while the matter is resolved.
“Fans who are not accomodated with seats inside the stadium will each receive a refund of triple the cost of face value of their ticket.
“We regret the situation.”
After traveling many miles to be at an event that is the biggest in hype and television coverage can you imagine being offered a refund? Who would be satisfied with a refund of triple the cost of the face value of their ticket? How about refunding triple the airfare and hotel expenses? Or how about suing the NFL for breach of contract?

A Wintry Scene from Southlake, TX
The snow and ice is finally starting to melt away in Texas. With the Super Bowl scheduled for tomorrow, many airlines are scheduling extra flights to bring the fans to the Metroplex just in time to allow visitors to enjoy the Saturday pregame festivities in Arlington. Light snow accumulations are forecast for Sunday, but that will not be a problem for those fans from Pittsburgh and Green Bay who are very experienced drivers in snow and ice conditions unlike the locals who I saw driving on Wednesday in icy conditions on 35W Northbound. One of these yokels driving a truck, who was doing the speed limit in the left lane was suckered by the dry tracks on the highway to find his lane under the overpasses covered in ice. Surprised by his lack of traction on ice he soon found himself sliding sideways at 55 mph, hitting the divider, spinning and ending facing the road perpendicular to the highway completely blocking the left lane. We drove past him slowly. His bewildered look said it all.
