Next year it’s going to be different. I’ve had a policy in place now
for a long time that the television remote-control thingy gets put away every year
at the Super Bowl, but no more. They’ve turned everything upside down: it used
to be that the game sucked and the commercials were good, but not anymore.
That was a damn good game last nite and I was rooting for a tie so we
could have had a sudden-death finish. If anything would put some pressure on the NFL’s
dumb overtime rule, having somebody win the Super Bowl based on a coin toss would
be it.
But a rare Favre-like moment for Peyton Manning shelved that idea as
well – for the moment – and now I’m just left with a gala football game that’s come
full circle. Started out as a football game 44 years ago, rather quickly devolved
into a laughably silly capitalistic orgy and is slowly turning back into a football
game once again.
(The Super Bowl has gotten pretty silly in 44 years, but the potential for the
truly historic stuff – like Joe Willie’s brash prediction of upset in Super Bowl III
– means that the game itself is still important and nearly worthy of the hype.)
Oh, the excess is still there, still silly as ever – old geezer rock
bands at halftime? And I’m an old geezer! – but I think all that stuff is just tolerated
because the underlying product, the championship game, still matters.
All the sideshow stuff has kind of mutated into wretched self-parody,
starting first, last and always with the overpriced commercials. I can’t even say
decisively how it happened, but I do suspect that all the genuinely talented people
who used to work on Madison Avenue have spied the bigger bucks available by simply
waddling a bit further downtown. At least with the intriguing Super Bowl commercials
you always had the suspicion that real creativity was being rewarded; I don’t share
that fantasy when it comes to what happens in the financial district.
So no longer will I shelve the remote control on Super Sunday. I am going
to flit around the airwaves just as I do any other Sunday, hoping to find some billiards
on ESPN2 while the NFL behemoths are swatting each other on the butts in the huddle.
Still, I guess it’s an improvement to be disappointed in all the auxiliary
foolishness rather than in the game itself.

Jim Palmer 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces
Taking a quick break from my strict player collection guidelines, I picked up this 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces card featuring Jim Palmer.
I like the Masterpieces set – and I love how they brought back so many of baseball’s greatest players from decades past – Palmer included.
And while I would never [...]

Reich was a rookie for the Bills in 1985, but didn’t get an actual rookie card made [...]

Yesterday Brian Giles was offered an invite to LA Dodgers Spring Training camp along with a minor league contract. This comes on the heels of a terrible season where Brian was suffering from an arthritic knee. Last year he put up a 0.191/2/23 in just 225 at bats. Always being the stand up guy, he [...]
