Let's be frank.....the Jerry Jones tribute to Jerry Jones that masqueraded as Super Bowl 45 was an unmitigated disaster. Let me count the ways:
- The weather outside ws frightful. As late as Friday people were still having trouble getting into snow swept Dallas. Ice was falling from the stadium injuring workers. A real mess.
- Prior to the game, many of the patrons who had braved the next to impossible travel obstacles got to the game only to be turned away from their seats by the fire marshal who deemed them unsafe. I gues having only two years doesn't give you enough time to inspect these things.
- Christina Aguilera fumbled the words to the national anthem, and then tried to make up for it by showing off her riffs and range. It's the national anthem...not a record demo. She was badly outshined by Lea Michelle of Glee who performed America, The Beautiful flawlessly.
- The game itself was a sloppy but competitive affair that at least held the viewers interest. But dropped passes, untimely penalties, and injuries to key players on both sides took a toll on the game.
- The Black Eyed Peas were ok at best...but the super hyped commercials were awful. If'm I spent $100,000 per second on an ad, I'm having my lawyer draw up papers against the ad agencies this morning.
Highlight of the day.....watching Cameron Diaz hand feed Alex Rodriguez some pre-game popcorn. I'm not one prone to jealosy....but.
Hope you got your fill. Don't be surprised if a work stoppage interferes with the start of the 2012 season.
