Winners and Losers From Super Weekend E-mail

That was it. Last night's Super Bowl was the last meaningful football game (except the ones you play on PS3) for seven months. Let that soak in for a moment. March Madness is still six weeks away and the baseball season is two months away; you better start talking yourself into becoming a NASCAR fan. Before we move on too quickly from the Super Bowl and everything else that happened this past weekend, let's name some winners and losers.

  • Winner: The New Orleans Saints (duh). America's new team proved all the skeptics wrong and took down Peyton Manning's Colts. The Saints really dominated the game from the 2nd quarter on. I assume Saints fans will keep the party from last night going all week as Mardi Gras starts this week. I'm sure it will be a truly productive work week for many in New Orleans.
  • Loser: Peyton Manning. Tom Brady never would have thrown that ball and Charles Woodson would have definitely picked it off.
  • Winner: 26 point victories. Kentucky and Tennessee both won by 26 on Saturday. Kentucky got down 6-1 to LSU, then ended the first half on a 41-8 run. As bad as LSU is, a 41-8 run against anyone is impressive. Let me say again, LSU is an AWFUL basketball team. Tennessee did what Kentucky couldn't do a few weeks ago and beat South Carolina. The Vols got 30 points from Wayne Chism who looked as if he were playing some inspired basketball. Devan Downey had 26 of South Carolina's 53 points.
  • Loser: People who watched the Super Bowl for the commercials and halftime show. First off, you're a loser if you're watching a sporting event for the non-sports part. Second, the commercials were awful. There were way too many guys walking around in briefs for my taste. And as for the geezers in The Who, those guys need to stop. They weren't very good 30 years ago, and they're worse now. The censors all freaked out six years ago about Janet Jackson's boob, but I was much more offended by having to see Pete Townshend's pasty white belly every 12 seconds.
  • Winner: Winter Olympics Fans. That was the last weekend before the Olympics start. How can people not be excited? I just checked, and MapQuest says that Vancouver is less than 40 hours from Lexington. If we leave tonight, we can be there in plenty of time for Opening Ceremonies on Friday night. Who's with me???
