Super Win in Miami

Saints are Super Champs. This was a well deserved win for a team and a city that less than 5 years ago the city was flood ravaged and the team played nearly the entire year away from the city who loved them. A huge Congratulation to the team and the City.

Two big highlights of the game.
The off-side kick to open the 2nd half.
The interception of Manning late in the 4th quarter.

I know Everyone are saying these were key points of the game and they were

Unsung Hero
New Orleans Saints Kicker Garrett Hartley. Three long field goals of over 40 yards. Kept thme in the game so that they could have a great 4th quarter.

Half Time Show
Now everyone may be saying Who Dat playing at the Super Bowl and it’s a fitting pun with the performance of Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend, the surviving members of the Who. They performed parts of 5 of their classic songs and it was in short a great combination. I was disappointed that they couldn’t fit it two other songs, Love Reign Over Me and My Generation. In case you were wondering that was Ringo Star’s son Zach on the drums. He has been drumming for the group since 1994.

Carrie Underwood’s singing of the National Anthem was good as well.

And the Commercials
Once again I felt that the commercials were a little on the week side. There was way to many e-trade commercials as well as Doritos. Although I would say that one of the Doritos ones made me laugh out loud. Don’t mess with my mama nor my Doritos.

A Fan’s View

Who wouldn’t want to be paid for watching their favorite TV show or listening to their favorite music or going to see a movie with their favorite actor? I know that I would raise my hand real quick if that was asked to me.

To many that’s exactly what people think that critics do. And I’m sure that there are a few where that may be exactly what they do. But those that do have had to endure a lot of bad shows, music and movies to a place that their opinions are valued and they can do what they wish.

Critics are paid for their professional opinions. Opinions that are actually based on a course of study. Many TV and Movie critics has gone to film school and have had a lot of study on the craft. The same is true for music, art and any other critic industry.

But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a place for the simple fan. A place where a fan only watches, see or listen to what they enjoy and then gives their opinion.

Yes, it’s an uneducated opinion, but in many ways it’s more critical than a critic’s opinion. It it comes straight form their feelings. An opened minded enjoyment or not of their experience.

Fans can be narrow minded. They like what they like and if they don’t think they will like it, there may be no convincing them to do otherwise.

Why did I start this post this way? In short I will be working here, for little to no payment. It all depends on whether the site can generate any revenue. My job will be in delivering my views on entertainment.

I’m late beginning this. As are all three of us. Well, not Steve since his were always planned to be repost from his 6 Things to Consider.

Life has been busy and I haven’t had a chance to put anything on paper, or actually I guess you could call it on screen. Things are becoming more settled and I’m hoping to be able to place a few things on here about a favorite subject of mine. That is Entertainment.

So in advance – Thanks for reading

The Ground Hog Truth

The second of February was Ground Hog day and I was told that he said there is still 6 weeks of winter. So far he’s sure been right. 4 inches of snow on the night of the 2nd and into the 3rd and now with the weekend, in our region of Delmarva, we are experiencing the biggest snow blizzard in many years.

And I hear there is another storm that may be coming this week.

I am beginning to wonder if this winter will ever end. I know I sure would rather be out in the sun wearing nearly nothing, than being bundled in a dozen different layers.

Spring is so nice on the Delmarva and I looking forward to it coming.

Love But Not Like

In families there are many times that a member of the family will love someone dearly, but not like what they are doing at all and therefore not like them at all.
