Metalpeter's blog: "Peters Thoughts"

For Those that don’t follow Football or sports you may not know that today is the superbowl.  This for some time has been more of an event then  a game.  Yes a game will be played but for so many people  it is much more then that.   There have been some great games and some bad games, I hope tonight’s is a great game.   There have been games in the past where the ads where better then the game.  There have been times when the singing was better then the game.   By the way When will Metallica get a half time show.   Granted one of their new songs might take up the entire Half but the half could be extended.    I can remember other networks would have their own Half Time show you could click over to.  

I know I bash E! for this but they do this same super early pre game show thing to on the award shows.   I have seen that they had a 2-3 hr red carpet and then a preshow before that.   Then again for some of the awards Fashion TV had stuff on at the same time.   Than after the awards they have a post show.   The post show makes sense so you can recap and show people what they looked like getting the award.    Maybe I need to stop bashing E! because the more I think about it their preshow is like the NFL.    On their show they interview people and see what they are wearing but if these people don’t win you won’t really see them.  

Today the 1^st preshow starts at noon.   Yes I will be watching  it.    Not sure what road to the superbowl is. But hey it should be good.  Later on is the All Iron Team.    Hey if Madden can have one why not Phil Sims.   By the time that the game starts I will have seen more pregame then I will game even if it was the first game to go to Over Time.   Yes and as bizarre as that sounds it is but it isn’t really.  I do want to ad that I have seen some pretty interesting stuff in the past before  superbowls . Some of it was about players.  Some it where ads that didn’t show again during the game.  Some of it was entertainment.  

I haven’t been to a Bills game in a long time.  The one thing I can remember though is Tailgating.   Everyone does their own thing in their own way.    This is different in Different cities as well.     My impression was that there where people who where their hours before us.    I have heard that some people get there the night before or maybe it is more like very early morning, I guessing though that they wait for the sun to come up.   I have even heard that some people go to just tailgate and don’t even have tickets, now that is a party and watch the game on a TV outside the stadium.  That is the same Mentality that goes on in all the pregame stuff.   Just wanted to ad that this doesn’t only happen for football  It happens at concerts as well.    So my end point is Enjoy the game, enjoy the event and hopefully the game will be better then the pregame stuff but it won’t be longer then it.   Oh yeah and if the team you want loses show some class and watch the other team interviewed.  

I feel as if I’m leaving something out but not sure what else I could really say other then the Super Bowl started out as a game and now it is an all day event hope everyone enjoys it.  Hey if football isn’t your thing and you are at the party for the party enjoy that to cause it could be better then the game.
