Some Final Ski Trip and Super Bowl Thoughts

I mentioned the Super Bowl, but didn't include anything about the rest of the day. Obviously, the Super Bowl was the high point of the day. It was a good game. I'm not sure how the Steelers didn't blow it open in the second half, but they didn't. There was plenty of beer. When you carry the keg downstairs, you can put it next to you. If you make sure no one drinking beer is sitting to your left, you don't have to refill anyone else.
In reality, I can't figure out how the Steelers made the Super Bowl every time I look at their offensive line. It sucked. This game had a ton of holding calls. Arizona got their's because Pittsburgh had top pass rushers. The Steelers' got their's because their line couldn't block. How does an interior lineman get called for holding (and a safety) in the end zone on a quick slant pass? Easy, he sucks. But I just want to say thanks to Mike and Jennifer for leaving early on Sunday. That left me as the only Steelers' fan with a bunch of Bengal and Falcon fans and others only concerned about winning money on bets (I'm sure it was doubly aggravating for them that my team won the game and I won the final pool).
Random ski trip thought. What kind of place has a couch so uncomfortable that it's better to pull a futon out of a bedroom to sit on?
I think Pittsburgh won the game in the first half by controlling the ball. Arizona had only one possession in the first quarter. They had three in the second. The first went for a touchdown. The second was a punt. The third would have gone for a touchdown if James Harrison hadn't intercepted it in the end zone and run 100 friggin' yards for a touchdown. And right afterwards we get the 3D commercials that really didn't look too 3D, but at least I got to wear the 3D glasses and nothing looks cooler than 3D glasses.
Random ski trip picture. Phil told me there wouldn't be any trannies this year.
Since we were in Gatlinburg instead of Tucson, we got the full game instead of a 30 second porn clip. Actually, it would have been more interesting to have the porn clip in the third quarter when not much happened. Well, except the infamous case where an Arizona player roughed the holder by sticking his crotch in his face. Comcast is blaming outside act for the problem. Which is probably true. Cable companies don't give porn away for free. One of the great things about the internet is the free porn.......I mean the fact that it didn't take long to figure out who was in the clip that aired. I was going to see if I recognized her, but then I remembered that she's some internet porn slut so she's essentially a movie prop. And no, I am not surfing porn in the following picture. I was looking up game info.
Here's the amazing thing about Arizona's comeback in the fourth quarter. Through the first three quarters, they'd only had one drive that went for more than 33 yards. All four drives in the fourth quarter went for at least 33. Four of the five Pittsburgh drives went for less than 4 yards. Three went for negative yards. One was a safety. Looking at the second half stats, that Harrison inteception/touchdown at the end of the half was huge. I thought this was the last bourbon shots of the night, but it was actually the first. I know because I also took the fifth shot sitting on the counter. It was supposed to be for Will, but he turned it down. Now, I'm not going to cast aspersions on him not drinking it. Mainly because I probably did at the time.
Random ski trip thought. I didn't see the naked guy in the hot tub. Or him wrapping a hoodie around his junk. I consider myself fortunate. However, I did see a hot tub picture that had a certain someone begging for a cigarette like a drowning man asking for a life preserver.
Of course, sucking tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide directly in your lungs has to be better than eating a few pizza rolls.
The amazing thing is that the Super Bowl turned on Harrison's interception for a touchdown because that was really Kurt Warner's only mistake. Warner completely outplayed Ben Roethlisberger who was very mediocre (I'm being polite) until the last series. On the series before that one, the Steelers' got the safety on a hold in the end zone. On the two series before that, Roethlisberger took two series killing sacks. Even on the game winning drive, I don't think he was that sharp. He had a four yard scramble that caused them to waste a timeout when he could have just thrown it away. Santonio Holmes saved his ass repeatedly. The penultimate play (not counting the TD) was a 40 yard pass to get them to the 6 yard line. It was a curl route that Holmes made with a great run after the catch. On the winning touchdown, Roethlisberger overthrew Holmes who was triple covered. If Holmes doesn't make a great catch, there's no touchdown.

No touchdown would have meant no winnings for Marc. That would have been bad since I got roped into that stupid left-right-center whatever the hell it is dice game. I lost six dollars. Most of which I lost to Melissa. I'm not used to giving that many ones to a woman who keeps her clothes on. And asking her to take off her clothes didn't work, so why am I playing this stupid game? Apparently three ones ain't going to do it. And then she lost them to others. This is a stupid game. I blame Phil for the fact that I was playing.
On the drive home, I had one thought - is that a Pizza Hut behind Jon?
Well, another thought. Why was it snowing in Knoxville, but not Kentucky?
