Super Bowl XLIII

I'm intensely (and surprisingly) watching the 43rd Super Bowl. I entered the game not really caring who won and chose to cheer on Pittsburgh, ehm, because they're on this coast. Santonio Holmes just made a spectacular touchdown catch in the last 40 seconds of the game, awesome, both feet down, as he fell outside of the line. James Harrison's earlier 100-yard run, by the way, was unbelievable...Fumble!

And the Steelers win. Hooray.

Oh, what I wanted to say...I'm always amused by the amount of care and inspection we apply to the fairness of plays/calls in sports' games. There are so many cameras and screens, all over the field, so much technology applied to a backyard game (and really, stunning precision by the players...watching them run made me want to exercise...). Anyways, I just thought, wouldn't it be nice if we applied this much attention to the calls our government makes? I don't simply mean an open government, because, frankly, I doubt an entirely open government would work. But as citizens, we should care and question and understand every action, every decision the government makes. What happened, how, why. And D.C. should be open to us commoners, as much as security would allow. I mean...it's our goverment.

What a waste of confetti. Can The Office just come on now? I'm unamused.


I particularly enjoyed this manly talk-to-the-hand, courtsey of Edgerrin James of the Cardinals...
