It's Superbowl Monday for me. sigh.

"And this is the re-invented Superbowl Sunday....where nobody wants to go to parties anymore and pretend to enjoy football, their so-called friends, or even the adverts, over sitting at home in their soiled computer chairs trolling tired blogs and surfing porn."

I enjoyed your trendy video offer there top-gun, keep on truckin'!

I believe he had major facial reconstructive surgery after the horrible accident mentioned above. >> ^sme4r:

Man hes had some work done. Facelift much?

>> ^Trancecoach:

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that he killed someone...
>> ^ctrlaltbleach:
Poor Matthew he just looks so dead inside.



I imagine it's much much worse to be married to Sarah Jessica Parker...

Sacrilegious, and worse than that... boring.>> ^braindonut:

boooooooooooooooooooooooo

Superbowl commercial.

why put money into science when corporations need to advertise during the superbowl?

Mormons knocked on my door Superbowl Sunday. My dad answered the door shirtless and mad "We're watching the Game in here!"

Basically that's a good way.

Good sportsmanship is great, and a good thing to encourage. However, this rule doesn't punish "bad" sportsmanship, unless your standards for "bad" sportsmanship are so ridiculously hair-triggered that you'd prefer to watch all sports being played by Robots versus Vulcans.

It is possible to be a gracious winner and yet remain visibly happy that you won. What does any any Olympic athlete do after winning a race, landing a tough jump, setting a new record, or having any other momentary success? They give themselves a little fist-pump, grin like idiots, puff out their chest and hold their head high -- and that is probably the bare minimum for even the most stoic competitor ever. Is that bad sportsmanship? No.

What happens at the end of every World Series, Superbowl, or Championship of any sport ever played? One team jumps up and down in a mass hug, acting like schoolgirls and completely unashamed of doing so, while the other team has their arms at their sides and stares blank-faced at the ground 3 feet in front of their feet. Is that bad sportsmanship by the winners? No.

I love the tradition in NHL hockey where at the end of any playoff series, the entire roster of both teams lines up and shakes hands with every member of the opposing team. This can happen after 7 games fueled by hatred and bad blood, bench clearing brawls, or whatever. They put that aside, line up, shake hands, and congratulate each other on a well-fought series. Is that good sportsmanship? Yes!

Encouraging good sportsmanship makes sense. Coming up with punishments that can potentially alter the outcome of games for some behavior that is arbitrarily decided is "bad" sportsmanship is crazy.

Surprisingly interesting - gave me insight into my fellow men which is always helpful. I'm a guy but I see other guys as being different to me in the way they think and behave, whereas I'm much more in tune with women, their thoughts and their needs.
Mind you haveing said that, choice between watching the Superbowl on a big screen in a bar full of hairy sweaty guys or being able to partake in a sexual encounter with a very desirable female partner, the latter wins every time Jennifer Lopez doesn't quite cut it as an example of a desirable woman, sorry J-Lo!


completely agree! I didn't realize the numbers were quite that skewed in favor of girls though, maybe it's time we form a man's club for manly men that have given up their porn? OH wait..

Uhh, this is hardly a Canadian phenomena. Every Superbowl-winning city in America undergoes a similar thrashing post-game. Every NBA Championship, World Series, Stanley Cup, etc. and there's some violent act. Different degrees, sure. But SOME level of violence.

I think I have the reason why. It's sports.

Sports, by it's nature, is anti-intellectual. Now, I'm not going to condemn everything anti-intellectual because people like Adam Sandler would be unemployed. But then Adam Sandler fans do not destroy the theater after watching his shitty movies, in celebration of how shitty they are. I'm not asking anyone to like my opinion...but I'm afraid the problem is sports itself.

I'm open to hearing other theories, of course. But my theory fits the facts rather well.

Can you tell I'm not much of a sports fan?

I agree with QM

>>> Show me a nation--any nation throughout history--that's taxed itself into prosperity, especially by the tactics of a centralized government courting a planned economy, pitting one class against another and cannibalizing the productive members of society to get votes from the other kind. Show me a Euro-Union that isn't going bankrupt country by country.
>>> I notice that no one at the sift ever disses, say, MS-DNC over CNN, and the reason for this is both are parroting each other and the taxocrat party line. Don't let something as little as perceived rudeness on M. Kelly's part lead you to believe otherwise.
>>> Do you really want to argue about which side is spoiled and drowning in media groupthink? Assuming "The Right" has Fox (which I don't watch anyway) here's a partial list of the left-leaning propaganda machine, which did the world a favor by 'coming out' in 2008 and openly joining Obama's election (and now reelection) campaign.
THE (partial) LIST
Media Matters (feeds most of these "credible" media their talking points)
The old Big 3 networks: ABC, MS-DNC, CBS
CNN
Comedy central (talk about nightly propaganda!)
Air America radio (bankrupt)
NPR - (MY tax dollars pushing your agenda---at least Glenn Beck does his thing on his OWN dime)
Most newspapers besides the WSJ
Magazine fluff like TIME and Newsweak
HuffPo
Hollywood's "product"
Most of the crap on tv
Most "rebellious" musical acts and assorted "artists"
Of course, I could be imagining things. It's not like a singer slipped in a message to OBAMA during the Superbowl half-time show.
--------------------------------
The left values equality more than truth, and views life as rich versus poor instead of right versus wrong. This is why leftist policies fail to create jobs, wealth, security, confidence and yes, SUCCESS.
The truth (aka "what works") is more important than our self-esteem and feelings.
