BC Superbowl 44
 



GET 'EM NEXT YEAR!!



Well not exactly the outcome we were looking for but what a game! Probably the best Superbowl I can remember - everything just worked.. The 2 best teams in the league in a very close battle of inches... Kinda nice to see New Orleans (city whose had it's fair share of crap kicked in it's face) win a Superbowl - just wish it had been the Colts.. Oh well next year... Huge draw was The Who playing halftime.. 2 words: MIND-BLOWING!!! Just an awesome performance that has again awakened my need to see these guys live!!!

The Who performing on a lighted circular stage made to look like their bulls eye logo, complete with lasers and pyro, they did portions of five songs in 12 minutes. In order, they were "Pinball Wizard," "Baba O'Riley," "Who Are You," "See Me, Feel Me" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Talking about performing at the world's largest sporting event, Roger Daltrey says, "I'm completely stunned by the amount of organization to put a show on in the middle of a football pitch. You know, and you got 20 minutes to do it, get off and get the match started. It's ridiculous."

The camera work was a bit off at times -- showing Pino Palladino playing bass during what was clearly a Pete Townshend guitar solo, and they went with an aerial shot during Daltrey's trademark scream in "Won't Get Fooled Again." Steve Winwood performed during the pre-game show with "Higher Love" making the T-V broadcast.

A pre-taped version of The Who's performance, called "The Who Super Bowl S-Mashup," is now available in the Rock Band Music Store for the Xbox 360 and Wii console. It will soon be made available for PlayStation 3. It's priced at a buck-99.... Or you can just check it out - below!

GUYS ZONE



We just finished up a lazy day, where most people just sat around a television, eating and drinking. We should give ourselves a little credit, though, for waddling into work today. Bravo!

If you're interested in riding that wave of laziness into the next months (or years), consider getting your hands on some of these gadgets, developed specifically for the laziest among us:

  • Salad Shooter -- It can be exhausting, grueling work to actually get out a knife and cutting board to chop vegetables. No more need to torture yourself. Just stuff your food into this plastic piece of junk and shoot niblets all over your plate.
  • The Flowbee -- If the idea of driving ALL THE WAY to a Super Cuts is too much to handle, order that Flowbee! The clipper-vacuum combo is a stroke of genius. Or, just plain scary.
  • Beer Helmet -- Holding a cold beer and lifting it to your mouth is quite an ordeal. It's much better to look like a complete moron and suck beers from a tube strung up to your helmet.
  • Slipper Genie -- Why waste cash on brooms and dustpans when you can climb into your super-scrubbing slippers? At least your floor will be clean between the sofa and the fridge.
  • The Clapper -- Think of all the time you'll save by not having to manually turn off all those pesky household lights.
