Oh man that halftime was so bad. Commercials were wack. Doritos Freak was the best I guess. Oh god the Halftime though. The humanity. This is what the people want?
Props to the Packers, McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers, etc. They were ballsy to cut ties with Favre but they knew they had a young stallion in the wings. Matthews is really good.
Pittsburgh looked real out-of-sync on that last drive. Not what I was expecting at all. I had it at a good 60-70% chance Ben would lead them for the TD.
Go Labor Negotiations!

Somebody needs to get this guy a dictionary.
census says about 85,000 in chico. still not what i would call a small town, but not really that egregious of a statement.

All those Central Valley cities lay claim to "small town" status. It's got less to do with population and mostly to do with culture.

Haha, how'd you calculate those odds my man?
I enjoyed watching the game. Ben had a bad night, his long ball was really off. I used to be a non-believer in Rodgers, but man did he have a come out season. It also felt like neither team ran the ball. At least it was a clean game, well officiated.
I don't know if I'm going to have people over for Super Bowl parties anymore, it was yap yap yap throughout the whole game, but quieter than a monastery during the commercials.
And yes the half time show was bad, but it was the Black Eyed Peas, what did you all expect?
There hasn't been a good half time show since Prince, and before that who knows.
Its a far fetched dream but I'd like to see Outkast do a half time show.
The career builder chimps in the parking lot was the best commercial.
Great season, no lockout in 2011!

I hate the Black Eyed Peas as much as anyone...but I don't think that halftime show was all that bad. They incorporated the Prarie View A&M Marching Band...although it looked like they were just dancing and not actually playing. And Fergie really butchered Sweet Child of Mine...I mean really butchered it. But hey, whatever was going on, good or bad, I stayed tuned in...which I can't say for 80% of other halftime spectacles.

During a post game interview last night, my wife was amazed that Rodgers was from California based upon his accent. He definitely rocks the Rural American dialect which I suppose is a product of Southern immigrants populating the Central Valley. I think Oliver hits the nail on the head, once you leave the coast and the major population centers, California becomes profoundly Red State.

I thought it was odd that the Peas barely even performed at all. They basically just stood there and did their lyrics while all this stuff happened around them. The closest any of them came to motion was Fergie doing that weird knees in-knees out dance.
As for the game...Raj said a few weeks back that GB had that Team of Destiny look to them, and I didn't want to admit it out loud (superstition and all that), but I agreed. And they came out and delivered, while the Steelers didn't, simple as that. Rodgers was astounding, Ben wasn't, and that last Mendenhall fumble was an absolute killer.

The_Non said:Coming from a hometown of 7,000 people when I grew up, and there being NFL QBs out there like Troy Aikman who grew up in Henryetta, OK, population 6,000, I think it's kind of a ridackulous statement.
Aikman lived in Cerritos, CA until he was 12. That town has a population over 50,000.
Your entire pose here is, uh, "ridackulous." Can you please provide a chart so in future discussions people will know how you break down towns by size?
Small, really small, extremely small, medium, somewhat medium, that sort of thing.
And I guess you'll have to include a breakdown about how long someone has to spend in each sort of town in order to qualify as a member of your li'l town club. If that's what it is.
Thanks in advance.

I got money on Tiki Barber joining the Redskins if there is an actual season this year.
