Super Bowl XLent...not
What a horrible Superbowl. Both teams sucked. The refs sucked. The commercials sucked. Roethlisberger had a QB rating of 22. Randle El (who btw I think the Eagles should go after) had a perfect QB rating of 158.3.
But the outcome didn't suprise me one bit. I was pulling for the Seahawks, but it was clear to me that Pittsburgh was going to win. Not because they were the better team, but the Steelers winning the championship just continues to affirm the trend that is Philadelphia sports.
Now, granted I haven't been in Philly nearly enough, BUT! during the time I have been here (since 02) i've noticed a disturbing and frustrating trend.
Last year, the Philadelphia Eagles marched to the Superbowl after 3 failed attempts after coming so close. They ultimately lost to the Patriots 24-21. So, Philly is so close and loses, the other in state team comes out the next year- barely gets to be the 6th seed in the playoffs and wins.
Take another example, the Philadelphia 76ers had Larry Brown as head coach for 6 years. He led them to the finals in 2000, and lost. The year after he leaves Philadelphia and moves on to Detriot, he wins a championship with them.
The Philadephia Phillies battled the Florida Marlins up until the last series of the season, and ended up losing the playoff birth. The Marlins go on to win the World Series. Josh Beckett is WS MVP and another day of what ifs for Philadelphia sports. A similar situation happened with the Phillies in 05 with the Astros, except the Astros ended up losing in the World Series.
I'm sure there are more examples that I can't think of. But its a pattern that must be broken someday, for the sake of this city if not for anything else. If this isn't a curse, then I don't know what is.
Those are my eight cents. I feel this is worth more than the standard two cents.
Have Fun!

You forgot to mention that the production was absolutely atrocious. Especially for the opening act...how hard is it to make sure someone's microphone is turned on? And the halftime show was disgraceful-- learn how to direct, honestly. I certainly hope that the sound feed for the stadium was much better than what was broadcast, because the spectators spent way too much money to sit through that abomination of a production.
Sorry, that's been bugging me for a while.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
