Superbowl XL Highlights & Lowlights
After soaking up all the hype and the pageantry that was Superbowl XL, I thought to myself - every year we wish for a great game, but instead, we get a 4-hour spectacle of mediocrity, bad halftime shows, below average football games, bad officiating, expensive commercials, and melodramatic subplots – the game within the game. The Superbowl has been reduced to a bad episode of Survivor. However, here are some highlights and lowlights from SBXL:

Haha, awesome list.
I actually thought it was an entertaining Superbowl: interceptions with long runbacks and even a trick-play.
The niners have sucked for a long time now...shouldn't the natural cycle of things led to them to a winning season by now?
Natural cycles only work for some teams. Just ask the Warriors. They've been sucking for over ten years now.
I don't know...having living corpses play classic rock songs looked really cool. McCartney last year, Rolling Stones this year...I wonder who they'll get for next year. It's high times for the old folks, I tell ya.
