Superbowls ... commercials and the half-time show. Bruce Springsteen did an alright job for all the folks at the retirement community I guess. He was never one of my favorites. To me, it sounds like he is in pain when he sings. Double hernia, in the USA !!!

Photo from Superbowl cardinals and steelers The game on the other hand was fantastic. It has been a long time since I can remember a Super Bowl that had such an exciting fever in the stadium. Fans on both sides were at wits edge as the lead was changed in the 4th quarter. The last goaline rush? Unbelievable suspense without a doubt.

Of course the only BIG thing about this game was my blog bet with Chris of "At Home at Last". Read Umm... Maybe this wasn't such a great idea.... and you will see the contracts signed by both of us. She LOVE LOVE LOVES the Steelers. Me? .... I do not love either team, so am glad she won the bet we had. I of course said the Cardinals would DEVASTATE Pittsburgh in my cheerleader formulated betting prediction for 2009. Ahh well, I will have a new formula next year.

Congratulations to The Pittsburgh Steelers, and congratulations to my good friend Chris at At Home At Last who wore a Cardinal on her sweater today.

I was just glad to have tickets and smuggle in my dog Mardy

Ah Eric! THANKS for the bet! That made this game EXTRA fun! I was really biting my nails and thinking about the potential SIGN I might have to make for quite some time! WHEW!

Wasn't that 100 yard TD INCREDIBLE??????

I'm still hoarse from yelling!

What a GREAT game!

You and Mardy were SO lucky to be able to be there! :)

Sandee (Comedy +) said...

I'll have to check out your bet. I didn't watch the game. I don't have television. I wonder if there is a rule against not having television. Bwahahahahaha.

Have a great evening Speedy. Big hug. :)

Sue said...

Awh Eric,

*hugs*

You're awesome.

Chris said...

Okay, hurry back to the hotel. :) You are really unbelievably lucky to be in TAMPA!

This was just so much fun!

Watching the recap now. Wow!!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Chris ... I am in the Limo now. The crowd and traffic was insane around the stadium!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

SUE!!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by VIA Twitter :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Sandee ... I have heard more than one blogger tell me that. I do not watch much TV, but would have a hard time without it before going to bed at night.

No movies???

Chris said...

Wow! A limo! Now, that would be FUN!

The brother of a friend of mine was actually in the owner's box at the stadium. Can you imagine that?

Maybe you and Mardy were there too if you rate a limo! :)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Well, I had a chance, but NO DOGS :-(

Mardy was not happy !!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hey?!?!!?

Shinade said...

Great recap for us non bowl watchers. But, dang, of course having grown up with the cowboys back in their hay day, I am not a Steeler's fan.

If you remember back that far we were quite the competitors.

Thanks Eric for stopping by today. Walter has heard me speak about you quite a bit. And since he is in your home state half the time he feels he knows you.

Anyway it was great and he will enjoy it.

Sorry about your bet. Walter was pulling for The Cardinals too!

Happy week.....hey come to listen to some good rock. Some after the game tunes to get you rockin' steady!:-)

Olga, the Traveling Bra said...

I just wanna say that the BEST TIME to go to the Mall is during the Super Bowl! NO ONE WAS THERE!!! 'Cept Victoria's Secret was still crowded...go figure....

Chris said...

Wow! How do you rate an invite to the owner's box? Is it through some golfing buddy? :)

How offensive to poor Mardy, though! :)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hi Shinade!!!

OMGOSH ..... Music Monday

I will be over and post one myself. Hope Walter had a nice birthday dinner :-)

Thanks for stopping in !

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Daisy said...

Hey there, Speedy! Just popping in before I'm off to bed.

Ha Ha! Of course you were at the game! Why am I not surprised by that? I love the last picture of you and Mardy, although Mardy looks like he would like to bite whoever is taking that picture!

I hope you had a good Sunday today. Hugs to you. (((Eric)))

dcr said...

Look. Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, silly, it's Super Bowl!

I think Super Bowl is after Super Whisk who turned evil after mixing with some bad eggs!

Ranran said...

Hello sir!

Kareer Woman said...

What a great post! Just wanted to drop by and thank-you for stopping by my blog and commenting, I hope you'll return :)
PS - - you mentioned you were a native of Minnesota..I lived in Roseville for 1 yr before I was transferred.

Bobby said...

I waved at you but you didn't see me. I was the one chased by the secret service for carrying a nuclear water balloon...they whipped me in the bathroom with billy clubs--but I still had a blast.

Obama needs a new side-piece:)

BIBI said...

HA!

I knew that they could do it! And I'm not even a football fan. This was my first time watching the Super Bowl in my life. Never had a reason to before. (Go along with me here, I'm trying to score brownie points with the hubby):D

Anyway, I love your post.

Oh, by the way you've been tagged!!

Netster said...

Obama seems to have a great time! heheheh

unfinishedrambler said...

Wow. I didn't expect this. That you were actually there? Too cool. Great photos (as usual).

Michelle Gartner said...

Why is Bush grinning like that? That's gross...

I had no idea there was even a football game on television...

Great reporting.

Laura Bushelcat said...

I'm surprised to see that there is no photo of Kurt Warner kissing the Bird of Betting? ((wink, wink)) ;)

Did Obama sleep with the wrong Bush? ;)

Creative Mish said...

LOL! looks like the white house party was a doozy! Glad they let you take Mardy with you. He looks real excited!

Eric S. said...

It's great that you got to take Mardy with you. I bet he enjoyed all the commotion.

Hey thanks again for all the help, you are a real life saver.

Chris said...

Wow, all day I've just been watching for a sign....

I wonder what that means that it's not appeared yet?

Just teasing. I know it was a loooooooong trip back to the hotel.

meleah rebeccah said...

I think I am the only person that DID NOT watch the Super Bowl

Chris said...

Speedy! :)

That sign was SO worth the wait! :) HILARIOUS!

Eye-catching!

How fun-eye!

:)

malawika said...
