The Bowl Was Actually Super

Honestly, I am trying to remember the last football game I enjoyed watching as much as the last one of the 2007-8 season (and no, I do not count the lame-bowl next weekend).  

Here are the top ten reasons why today was great:

10.) Meatballs in sweet sauce.

9.) My puppy Reggie being the cutest.

8.) Tom Brady's smug confidence being wiped from his grill.

7.) Cactus Cooler.

6.) Looking at toddler pictures of Brie.

5.) Tom Petty's hair.

4.) Verbal rating of the pregame show's personalities' tie-tying skills.

3.) Waching Peyton cheer for Eli.

2.) The game finally being better than the commercials (man they sucked).

1.) Jayson Bennett, you have not lived until you have watched football with this freak.

Peace, NcB.
