Foot...ball?

So yesterday for the first time ever, I watched the Superbowl. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it way more than expected. This is most likely due to the fact that the game was explained to me, as Michael Scott of the Office would say, "like I'm five" (as it should be. I wouldn't have understood it any other way) but now I kind of get it. It also wasn't the aggressive hyper-masculine event I had expected. It was severely lacking odd victory dancing and scantily clad cheerleaders (where were they anyways?).

Anyways, let's recap some of the highlights from the game from the perspective of myself, a 21 year old woman that doesn't watch football ever:

1.
Penetration--you know that every time the commentators said it, millions of university students raised their beers and said "that's what she said"

2.
Larry Fitzgerald--So I was told to root for the Cardinals because they never win anything ever so I obliged. Three cheers for the underdog. Yes they lost but this Fitz guy was a champ.

3.
Who's the boss?--If you didn't see the halftime show, check out this clip. Mr. Springsteen slides right into the camera crotch first. Despite the black eye, it was the happiest day in the cameraman's life.

4. The most famous Cardinal--My favorite audience shot from the SB was that of Cuba Gooding Jr. who was lovingly named the most famous Cardinal since not many worthy athletes have hailed from the AZ team. I wish I could find a picture of this shot because it was magical. Cuba looked like his beloved Best Supporting Oscar for Jerry McGuire was taken away from him...in a tornado.

5. Bud Commercials--We Canadians are not blessed with the awesomeness that is Superbowl commercials but one seemed to wiggle its way into the 49th parallel.
This Clydesdale featured in a series of Budweiser commercials has got it going on. I don't really know what it has to do with the beer itself, but it sure was entertaining.

Have any Superbowl highlights? Do share!
