Unfortunately there were no nipples at the Superbowl

The best thing about the game was that the first half was so close, had so many dramatic changes of possession, and that magnificent runback on the opening kickoff.

The worst thing about the game was Rex Grossman's being unable to handle the rain. He dropped two snaps, tripped and got sacked twice, and missed the kind of long ball he'd been hitting most of the year with a resultant interception.

I thought the MVP should have gone to the Colts' offensive line. They gave Manning good protection against a tough defense, and made the running game work pretty well.

I'd like to have seen the Bears score again in the second half, to keep it close, but Grossman was pressing, and unable to come through.

The halftime show was a recycling of a 20 year old act, and the Star Spangled banner was sung by Billy Joel. He missed a few notes.

Agreed. The first half was very entertaining though very sloppy. I stopped watching after Grossman's second interception in the 4th quarter. The Colt's O line played extremely well. I, too, think they deserved the MVP award. Manning is both humble and smart enough to know that it's not all about him, though.

Since few people I was with cared about either team, we immediately latched on to da bears. Your team losing when they were your team only because of an SNL skit makes losing not so bad:)

Regardless of how the game went, it was fun. Good BBQ, good beer and good friends.
