I'm going to Disneyland!!!

There are certain days during the year that have a special signifigance. For me they range from the solemn ANZAC Day to the silliness of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Today was Superbowl Sunday..well actually due to the time difference it was Mark Misses the Superbowl Monday. It still gets me every year and it's one event that i would love to experience live.

Now i'm not a huge fan of American Football but i have to tune into the telecast of the event that sums up all that is the good ol' USA. I love playing gridiron on the PlayStation back in Australia and i really enjoy watching the old NFL Films due to the slow motion footage and the voice of the guy who narrates them. He sounds like a slow motion car accident.

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers who i have a close connection to. Well i play them on the PlayStation so in reality its not that special.

As i'm writing this the last minute of the game is being replayed on ESPN. The usual celebrations have started and i'm waiting for the Gatorade dunk on the coach. Now as huge as an even the Superbowl is, i do have five issues with the event.

1. The game goes on for too long. With 15 minute quarters how does a game go for nearly 4 hours?
2. Coming from a country whose national code of football has tackles all the time, why do i have to see (Ok the coach has been dunked) big guys in pads almost Riverdance after smacking into an opposition player.
3. I believe God does not take sides on Gamedays. I don't think God woke up this morning and thought 'I'd have twenty on the Steelers.'
4. Why do famous overseas acts play the halftime show? If it is Americas premier sports event then i wouldn't allow bands like U2 and the Rolling Stones play and i would have chosen good home grown bands like Poison or even New Kids on the Block.

And why do all the players want to go to Disneyland? Go to a strip place or an all you can eat salad bar.

I come from a country where we don't have Disneyland so if i ever won a SuperBowl and the ESPN Commentator asked me where i was going to go after winning the SuperBowl i would pause for a second..clear my throat and say ......
"I'm gonna go the pub and destroy a Chicken Parma!"
