Packers Win The Super Bowl

Would like to take a moment to congratulate the Green Bay Packers on their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in last nights NFL Super Bowl XLV.

 From JSOnline:

Arlington, Texas — If these Green Bay Packers aren't the most deserving champions of the Super Bowl era, they're not far from it.
At the moment of truth Sunday night in Super Bowl XLV, the Packers overcame the first-half departures of Charles Woodson and Donald Driver to vanquish the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25, at Cowboys Stadium.

"It's how our season has been since Day 1," linebacker Desmond Bishop said. "We don't blink. We know somehow, some way, somebody will make a play."
Everything that made the Packers the startling success story that they became was evident against the Steelers.

Aaron Rodgers, the most valuable player, was magnificent. Just when the Packers' chances were starting to become bleak deep in the second half, his powerful arm and remarkable accuracy kept the team afloat.

.Despite five second-half drops, the Packers' wide receivers also made play after play against Pittsburgh's proud but overmatched secondary. Jordy Nelson had a career performance with nine catches for 140 yards

I watched the game from beginning to end...I thought it was a great game and despite the many negative reactions to the Half Time Show, I enjoyed the performance by the Black Eyed Peas and the surprise appearance by former GnR Lead Guitar Player, Slash!

Star Spangled Fail

During the opening moments of the Super Bowl, Christina Aguilera fumbled the words of the National Anthem.



From Billboard.Com

Aguilera changed the words in the song's fourth line, which reads as: "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?" Instead, the "Burlesque" singer merged the lyrics with the song's second line, which she had just sang ("What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?"), belting out: "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming?"

Additionally, Aguilera's voice strained to hit the final note of the song, penned by Francis Scott Key.

I have a problem with how she sung it! WTF? She just did too much with her strained vocals. I was like, JUST SING THE DAMN SONG ALREADY! That was pretty disrespectful. I mean, it';s one thing to put a little bit of yourself into the song when singing it, but to damn near recreate the whole melody is unacceptable!
