Watchin' the Game
3:30 - So Harrison Ford has to share the billing for his new movie with the Chrysler 300?
3:34 - Jake Plummer fumbles!
3:40 - So this Love Monkey show...its a rip-off of the movie High Fidelity, right?
3:41 - Touchdown Stillers*!
3:50 - Mike Hickey calls me and says he won't be stopping by. He tells me that a commentator on a Steelers pre-game show said that he hopes the Steelers use "trickeration" to beat the Broncos.
3:53 - As hard as CBS may try, Jenna Elfman is not very hot.
3:56 - Hee hee, Ford Commercial just said, "Super Duty."
4:01 - The Broncos cornerback Domonique Foxworth can't cover anyone.
4:13 - Enough with the Chunky soup commercials featuring Donovan McNabb's "mom."
4:17 - Touchdown Stillers!
4:20 - I've never watched a Pro Bowl.
4:21 - Jake Plummer interception.
4:26 - Touchdown Stillers! This may be a laugher. Roethlisberger should never do that celebration "dance" again.
4:32 - Halftime. Broncos fans are booing. Mike Shanahan is as tan as George Hamilton.
4:59 - This game may be over. Did I just jinx the beloved Stillers?
5:04 - Just prepared a bath for the pregnant wife.
5:12 - Broncos are showing signs of life.
5:15 - Touchdown Broncos!
5:27 - Big field goal by the Stillers.
5:29 - Another Survivor?
5:30 - Ugh, obiligatory face painter shot. Oh, another Jake Plummer INT.
5:33 - Did you ever notice Phil Simms doesn't say "him" he says, "heem."
5:45 - Touchdown Broncos with 7:52 left.
5:46 - AC/DC's Rock n Roll Ain't Noise Pollution is used to sell Nikes.
5:54 - Eating chili cheese fries. Mmmmm.
5:56 - Another Jake Plummer turnover. This may be it.
6:01 - I just grossed out the wife with monster burp as Roethlisberger scored on a bootleg. Game over.
6:06 - "Wow, so Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl?" - My wife.
6:12 - Game over... Stillers 34 Broncos 17.
* Stillers =Yinzer for Steelers.
Posted by Matt Niemi at January 22, 2006 6:13 PMyou missed this:
Terry Bradshaw as the "Dad" in the new movie Failure to Launch.
AND
The Stillers gointo the SB.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Posted by: nelson at January 23, 2006 9:12 AMHow about Bradshaw ordering Shaun Alexander to hoist the NFC trophy and run around the stadium with it - and then S.A. DOES IT! That was awesome.
Posted by: Nate at January 23, 2006 10:10 AMI cant believe that nobody noticed Bradshaw's acting chops in "The Cannonball Run". It's about time he got another role. If he had played the lead in Speilber's "War of the Worlds" instead of that nut juggling scientologist I would have gone to see it. Instead of germs the martians would be defeated by a bald Tenessee boy chucking spiraling A-bombs at orbiting UFOs.
Posted by: Josh at January 23, 2006 8:06 PMHere at fact checker we like to make sure all posts are accurate. Mssr. Metz asserts that Terry Bradshaw is from Tennessee. I do believe that Terry is actually a Ragin Cagin and from Louisiana. Either way he's a hick and not some nut juggling scientologist which means he's ineligible to act in Hollywood Blockbusters. Quit being so glib Josh, quit being so glib. Ritalin is a street drug do you know that?
Posted by: Larry at January 24, 2006 1:56 PMOne other thing Matt. Did you eat all the chili cheese fries between 5:54pm and 6:01pm? That's quite impressive.
Posted by: Larry at January 24, 2006 1:58 PMIndeed Larry. The bowl of chili cheese fries went down very easily.
Posted by: Matt at January 24, 2006 5:08 PMI think there is a big connection between the film Failure to Launch and this year's Superbowl, within three weeks both will be forgotten about by 99% of the population.
