SPORTSbyBROOKS recaps all of the arrests from yesterday’s Super Bowl, the most notorious 100% being the woman who got into a drunk driving accident with a horse.
This is not as much funny as it is sad for the horse… ok it is a tiny bit funny.
The football star was in line for the bathroom at ESPN’s Tampa Bay Super Bowl bash Friday night when a drunken reveler tried to cut in front of him. “Matt told him to wait his turn and headed into the urinals,” a spy tells us. Moments later, the fella barged in and proceeded to purposefully pee directly on Cassel’s leg. After security tossed the drunk, Cassel headed back
What a media whore he is. I mean when everyone is talking about Holmes and Rothlesburger, Cassel is going and getting pee’d on to make hedlines. The things a respectable back-up will do to draw attention
Ok, fine, it was a great game. One of the best 4th quarters in Super Bowl history. I am glad Fitz made some plays but that the Steelers ended up taking away the victory.
What I don’t get is why didn’t they review the final play when Warner fumbled? Arizona had a timeout; might as well call the timeout to give the booth more time to think about reviewing it.
In any rate, the worst part of the game, I thought, were the two ridiculous personal fouls that were called against the Cardinals. The one roughing the pass, where Big Ben got hit a SPLIT second after he threw, and the running into the holder, where the Cardinal was tripped and fell, with his head down, into the holder. These guys are playing their heart out and get penalized for it. Complete bullshit. I understand that both those calls were “by the book” so I don’t completely blame the refs but you got to let them play. The rules have to be, or change to be, that if there is no malicious intent then it can’t be a penalty. There has to be some room for interpretation.
I tried looking for videos of both plays but came up empty. Instead I found this amazing video of a roughing the kicker call in the Hawaii/Fresno State game.
I figured… why not. I’ll throw my two cents towards this snoozefest of a Super Bowl. I like Kurt Warner. I have ALWAYS liked Kurt Warner. I like Larry Fitzgerald, I like Anquan Boldin, I like TD Timmy Hightower, I like Ken Wisenhunt. I also like Fast Willy Parker, Hines Ward and Mike Tomlins hairline. I took all of these things into consideration while making this pick… Zona 21- Pitt- 17
Lat time RJS hosted a Bowl Timberlake ripped off Janets shirt- Will we see The Boss try to “pants” Silvio Dante. Maybe he’ll toss Max Wienburg a dido during “The Rising”. Either way I haven’t been this bored leading up to the big game since… Well since the Steelers-Seahawks game. I will be lesson-planning and half watching while stuffing my face with buffalo chicken dip, and staying sober. (I’m being observed first thing Monday morning and need to be sharp)-
I just don’t care about this Super Bowl. Maybe because I don’t really like any of the teams, maybe because no one intrigues me, maybe I am over the football season. Either way I am just not psyched enough for this game to actually give a reason for my pick. Not that I would ever do that anyway.
In any rate, the Steelers are favored by 7. If I were a betting man, I would be laying it on the Steelers. I just don’t see this being close at all. The Steeler’s D is jsut too good. They will punish the Arizona WR’s (maybe the only interested players in the game) as quick as possible.
Steelers 30
Cardinals 10
I may or may not have the “0″ and “0″ box in my office pool.
4 more days until we can stop talking about the Super Bowl and I can’t wait. Is there any sports even that is more anti-climatic than the Super Bowl? I understand that there are no other major sport events happening (mid-season NBA, NHL All-Star) for the two weeks between championship weekend and the Super Bowl so ESPN, talk radio, bloggers, etc. have to talk about something but it just gets old. Good thing here at SLT we have no integrity and will post any video that makes us laugh.
In any rate, here is today’s Super Bowl Prop Bet.
The Bet: How many food references will John Madden make during the game?
The Line: Over/Under: 1½
The fact that Madden is doing the game is awesome. He has been mailing it in for years now and will literally talk about anything. Talking about food during this game will be one of the most normal tirades he will go on about. If I had made this line I would have put it at 3 1/2 and would still take the over.
Will Matt Millen pick the correct team to win the SB on the NBC Pregame?
Yes: -270
No: +210
Like everyone else, he’s got about 50/50 shot, but you can get better than 50/50 money. I’d go with “No” and the +210.
I gotta tell you Matt Millen is awful… If I did for my class what he did to the Lions franchise I would be out of a job, and not analyzing schools and districts and criticizing others… That being said Millen is a pretty good TV personality, but we can’t forget what he did to the poor people of D-Town over the last eight years-
For the second day in a row we are showcasing a unique Super Bowl XLIII prop bet that we think you should ride some dough on this week. These aren’t your standard “heads or tails” bets, but rather they have a little something extra to make an exciting game of what seems like a snooze.
The Bet: Which Teams Cheerleaders will be shown more often on camera?
The Line:
Pittsburgh: -175
Arizona: +135
I have nothing to go on here besides straight stereotypes. With that said, I am betting the farm on Arizona +135. Do the Steelers even have cheerleaders? If they do, then they can’t compete with the Arizona cheerleaders who have year round sun and live in constant hope of bagging Matt Leinart… they HAVE to be in top shape for that. On the other hand, I picture the Steelers cheerleaders to be along the lines of:
All week long we will be giving you random prop bets you can bet on during this year’s Super Bowl. Some are stupid and some are stupider. Today’s prop bet? Every one’s favorite bagger’s wife… BRENDA WARNER!
The Bet: How Many Times will NBC show Brenda Warner on TV during the Game?
The Line: Over/Under 3 1/2
I would have to go with the under here. I mean, showing Brenda “Sonic” Warner 4 times just seems like 4 times too many. Not to harp on her haircut too much, but do you think she sits in a fire truck or a police car when she gets a shape-up? HIYO! I’ll be here all night, try the veal.
