The SuperBowl comes to the desert.

As a bitter Cowboy fan I was not looking forward to the Super Bowl this year. I was still trying to figure out how we could lose to the Giants and what exactly went wrong. But, the Super bowl is in the desert this year and I could not resist checking in on it to see how the AZ represents. One thing to America, the Super Bowl was held in Glendale Arizona....not Scottsdale, or the slum we call Chandler...not Phoenix....GLENDALE!!!! So Jim Rome, I love you but night after night, you got it wrong!!! Glendale did a awesome job. So I was a little interested in the game, first we have the New England Patriots. Who could not love the cheatable Patriots....Tom Brady who knocks up the ladies and then leaves them....the huggable coach who would make Bob Crane blush....Randy Moss who cleaned up his act this year.....oh wait a minute....a restraining order....never mind...and of course Junior Seau who retired from SanDiego and then signed with the Patriots about 2 seconds later....how can we not love these guys?

Then we have the Giants lead by Tom Coughlin who was about to lose his job. If he had not made the playoffs, he was going to get fired. If he didn't make it to the Super Bowl, dude was going to be a offensive coordinator for his grandsons pop warner team. We have Michael Strahan who lost all his cash to his ex-wife and thanks to her, we are still wondering if he was really hooking up with guys on the side.... and who can forget Eli Manning. Well, everyone does and that's why he is Peyton's little brother, the afterthought so to speak. So when you look at these two teams, there was some intrigue to it all.

The National Anthem was something people were all a buzz about because Jordan Sparks was singing. She started to sing and when I woke up, the game had started. What was freaking me out was the cut away to Peyton in his little box....closet...shack, wherever he was. There was Peyton, looking like he was hiding in the corner, dressed in that suit. There was one light where he was, a drink in the background and there he was sitting in the corner. It looked like he was about to kill someone or it looked like he was one of the porn dudes doing the voyeur thing. Whatever he was doing, it looked plain wrong. Tom Petty comes on and thank god I missed that...not to go over the entire game again ( I will leave that for ESPN ) but somehow the Giants win this game.

The fun part of all of this is the reaction from Bill Bill-a-cheat at the end of the game. With one second on the clock (the replay showed that there was 3 but who cares right)? Dude goes running out to shake the hand of Coughlin and then runs off the field.....he ran off the field and half of the team goes with him! There is the coach who is considered a Vince Lombardi type of coach who runs off the field before the game is over? Buddy Ryan anyone? When Randy Moss did this type of thing, the media KILLED him for it. I keep hearing that coach did not know the game was still on...really, the coach didn't know how much time was on the clock? RIGHT...Doesn't matter, it just shows you how much class the Patriots they have which hovers above the number of -1. So the Pats go down, Eli becomes his own man and I get to witness the greatest Super Bowl since the last time the Cowboys played.

So all you East Coasters, get OUT!!!! Thanks for your East Coast dollars and I hope you enjoyed the real food out here in the Southwest. War Tacos, War Mexican Pizza's, WAR EAST COASTERS GETTING THE HELL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
