Just got done watching the Super Bowl. I was less than blown away.
It all started when the Steelers beat the Colts. Mad.
Anyway. 1st half play was tepid at best. The half-time show was terrible. Mick Jagger definitely needs to seriously consider retirement. The 2nd half was definitely better. I am very glad that the Steelers won.
But, just one question. What in the world is an "offensive pass interference" foul?
I think and I think and I think about it, but I still can't figure it out. I am no football genius, but I have a working knowledge of the game, and I am still puzzled. The best that I could come up with is that it is meant as a (bad) joke.
I, too, am puzzled by the concept of an offensive pass interference foul. My husband tried to explain it, but it still doesn't make any sense to me. I think it was something about the receiver pushing his defender away...but that seems like something you should be allowed to do anyway.
Also, I think Mick is amazing considering that he 62 years old and he can still dance around like that...but I also find it somewhat disturbing. I read a really bad review of the show this morning. It said that when they sang "start me up" it sounded like they were warming up, and that you don't have that luxury in a 3 song set. I concur. The poor guys should've just gone out in style instead of letting us all see how old they've gotten.
p.s. my word verification word is: abuse, which is perhaps what happened to the Stones last night.
that, mr. quixote, was a really great explanation of the penalty. I feel like I know so much more now about football. And, one thing I do know is that Roethlisberger did not get that ball across the goal-line in the supposed first touchdown. I know that it was a difficult call, and that the officials had no convincing proof to reverse the call after the fact, but I really don't think he made it across. Actually, didn't he admit to a talk show host afterwards that he didn't???
Mair- You can quiz him about just about anything. He's really smart, but most of the time in a really dorky way. Every once in a while he comes out with something that doesn't sound like blah blah blah.
Dad- Love you very much. You had to know something like this was coming.

the plain truth: jodi picoult This book provided a wealth of information about the Amish community. It was wonderful.
the time traveler's wife: audrey niffenegger (sp?) This book is like the movie Serendipity. Wow! the first time around, still pretty great for consequent readings.

Thanks for the explanation Dad.
