I went to Dave's uncle's friend's place to watch the Superbowl today. I made my extra special weiner rolls, and people liked them - I even got asked for the recipe.

Unfortunately, we were late to the party since Dave came home late from work, so I didn't really see too much of the first quarter and part of the second half. Which means I also missed some of the best commercials, if there WERE any good commercials. Because during the second half, the commercials sucked ass. They just weren't entertaining to me. A couple of the beer commercials were good, and the football players singing 'Tomorrow' was really funny, but other than that, nothing stuck out to me. And what's up with so many commericals having to do with ways to solve erectile dysfunction?

The game itself made me yawn for the first part. To tell the truth, at the beginning of the third quarter I was thinking to myself, 'Man, I'm going to put in my blog that this is probably one of the most blah superbowls ever. Nothing exciting or outstanding is happening at all.' Carolina wasn't producing at all. But was I wrong! Carolina stepped it up in the third quarter and gave New England something to sweat about. Jake Delhomme, the QB who had an awful first half, suddenly found his groove and started throwing some BEAUTIFUL long passes. The lead switched back and forth, Carolina was breathing down the Patriot's necks.

And the ending was something from the movies. A field goal, to be kicked by the man who never misses, but who missed two field goals earlier that game. Not only that, but the ONLY time he has missed indoors was in that stadium. And this kick was 10 yards farther than the two field goals he missed. There were four seconds left in the game, and the score was tied. Two years ago, he saved the game by kicking the winning field goal. Can he do it again? How was that for pressure? But Adam Vinatieri didn't sweat, he kicked it down the middle. What a incredible game!

And the MVP goes to Tom Brady, who didn't sweat the whole time...well, maybe that one time when he threw that interception, but still, he was MONEY when he had the ball.

OK. That's all.

Just kidding. You think I could review the Superbowl without talking about the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake halftime spectacle?

First of all, although I love Janet Jackson and give her partial credit to helping me become the dancer that I am today, I have no idea why she was the headliner for the halftime show. Was has she done for me lately? Oooooh ooh yeah? Lately as in the last year. As much as I enjoyed seeing her perform again, (i just about died when they did Rhythm Nation, because I was joking around when she was on and said, 'What is she going to do? Rhythm Nation?') I just didn't think that she has the current momentum to carry the show. Boy was I wrong!

Note: I had to kick Dave when he started laughing when the marching band came out. Marching bands ROCK.

It was nice to see Nelly, P. Diddy and Kid Rock perform. And sing songs that were popular 2 years ago.

And then Mr. Timberlake. Oh Justin Justin. I was thinking to myself, "What would Cameron think, you chasing your ex-girlfriend up and down stage as she grabs your ass." That was a cute little flirty dance they had going on. Then at the end, right as he says, "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song..." Justin rips off Janet's right corset cup and exposes her boob, a-la Li'l Kim. CBS cut away fast, but the damage was done. I turned to Dave and his cousins and we all had a dumbfounded look on our faces. "Was that her boob?" I asked? "nah...it was too white. I think it was a flesh colored top underneath". We all had different theories. I thought it was her boob with a pasty over the nipple (which when you look at the close up shots, is something much more interesting - don't click on the link if you don't want to know) and others speculated it was a fake boob (to which I said, 'Then where's her real boob?', 'Tucked in her armpit' was the answer I got) or that it was an outfit underneath.

But it turns out it was her real boob. And as much as Justin apologizes and says it was an accident, there is no valid explanation for what his action intended to do if not rip off her top like that.I'm pretty sure that they meant to do it, even if they didn't do it in rehearsal. Janet didn't look shocked or surprised at all, Justin didn't flinch nor was he apologetic.

"I'm sorry if anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl," Timberlake said. "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

Riiiiiiight, Justin. Do you even talk like that, dude? And how was that a malfunction? He tore it off!

But boy, are they apologizing now!

And something that CBS kept away from us was the streaker who was on the field right before the second half kickoff. Man! We saw Janet's boobie, give the gals some goods to see, too!

First gay couples are kissing on awards shows and now this. Who said that CBS was the station for old conservative people?

[Edit 12:03pm]I saw the Born to be a Clydesdale Donkey commercial, and it was one of the cutest commercials ever. I especially liked the hair extension part!
