Questions About The Superbowl...

 

1. I'm guessing "Superbowl" is a portmanteau of the word "super" and the word "bowl". So, who is actually doing the bowling?
2. And just how 'super' are they?
3. And for that matter, which bunch of armour-plated pansies is batting?
4. Is Bruno Mars really from Mars?
5. Where are the Bronco's horses?
6. What exactly is Manning painting?
7. Do all the participants really need a (conveniently advertisement-length) rest every 9 seconds?
8. Is the phrase "first down and inches" rude?
9. Is it still Superbowl tradition for at least one member of the Jackson family to expose one of their breasts at half time?
10. Are the words "red" and "hot" superfluous - shouldn't they just be called the "Chili Peppers"?
11. Are the bluest skies you've ever seen really in Seattle?
12. Do all the players ride motorcycles to the game, but forget to take off their helmets?
13. I notice that there as many umpires/referees/officials as players -  are American Football players incapable of following the simple rules?
14. Why are they all eating delicious apple turnovers?
15. Is William Perry still a fridge, or is he now some other type of kitchen appliance?

 
 
 

Super Bowel
A raucous bowel movement experienced on or the day after the Super Bowl due to consumption of large amounts of chili, hot wings, and beer.
 
HTH

Oooh, ooh, I know the answer to #11!
 
Yes.
 
However, it is an optical illusion caused by contrast with the other 358 days of the year that are overcast. It's like when you take yellow-tinted sunglasses off and everything looks strange.
 
In a probably-unrelated statistic, more sunglasses are sold per capita in Seattle than anywhere else. My theory is that on the rare occasions when we need them we've forgotten where we put them. But during the brief period between leaving the house and rushing to the nearest store to buy sunglasses, nearly everyone points upward and exclaims "look! holy sh*t, the sky is BLUE!".

Can you make the questions simpler?
Ah, ah, ah,,,,.................................ah!

4.  Is Bruno Mars really from Mars?
 

Yes--and women are from Venus.

And they still need Instant Replay to get it right.  

 
 
"No goal!"

Oh! You learn new things every day!!
That #1 cleared the mist... I've always thougt it's Superb Owl referring to way the QB spins his head 300 degrees looking around.
That much I do know, that #7 (rest every 9 seconds) is just to balance the effective playing time
to the same level as in soccer, where guys spend the respective time lying on the grass doing variations of The Dying Swan.
I still think it should be called Pit Ball, because it's in the armpit that they carry the ball. Lappy Ball would sound a bit sissy.

 
Supplementary questions:

• Why is it called a 'touchdown', when they don't have to touch the ball down?
• The participants seem to wear an awful lot of unnecessary protection compared to real contact sports. Has it ever been discovered that one of the players was actually a robot?

 
Who won?

SteveStrummerUK I'm guessing "Superbowl" is a portmanteau of the word "super" and the word "bowl". So, who is actually doing the bowling?

 
You are. You get to watch the best TV game ever created. No detail goes by missed, and the goal line idiocy by old kranks that live in the past is not an issue!
 

SteveStrummerUK
And just how 'super' are they?

 
Pretty good. They are the best of what is left. I do think that best two teams got there.
 

SteveStrummerUK
And for that matter, which bunch of armour-plated pansies is batting?

 
You are. But on a couch with potato chips, wieners, and Am, if you are bored!
 

SteveStrummerUK
Is Bruno Mars really from Mars?

 
Like you and I really give a merde!
 

SteveStrummerUK
Where are the Bronco's horses?

 
You didn't see those beautiful Chippendales?
 

SteveStrummerUK What exactly is Manning painting?

 
Your wallet!
 

SteveStrummerUK Do all the participants really need a (conveniently advertisement-length) rest every 9 seconds?

 
While that's not something that happens in every sport, it is one of the things that makes this sport so good. Look at the sidelines and the coaches looking at snap shots of plays and trying to find ways to stop it, or from getting around it. AVB could have used that to his advantage, but he was stubborn and stupid!
 

SteveStrummerUK
Is the phrase "first down and inches" rude?

 
To the inferior Brits it might be! .... hehehehe!
 

SteveStrummerUK
Is it still Superbowl tradition for at least one member of the Jackson family to expose one of their breasts at half time?

 
Oh, c'mon, Playboy and some of your English magazines have far better looking and less screwed up people on them! Nothing against the girl and her body and shape, but she is far worse representative of what was wrong in that family than Michael ever was!
 

SteveStrummerUK
Are the words "red" and "hot" superfluous - shouldn't they just be called the "Chili Peppers"?

 
RED HOT, to you ... but damn it, it was not an Alehmbic that Flea was playing to Bapu's disappointment.
 

SteveStrummerUK
Are the bluest skies you've ever seen really in Seattle?

 
YES. And the air is mostly very clean, and easier to smell and sniff, than London's!
 

SteveStrummerUK
Do all the players ride motorcycles to the game, but forget to take off their helmets?

 
Sometimes. In America, it is now a status symbol!
 

SteveStrummerUK
I notice that there as many umpires/referees/officials as players -  are American Football players incapable of following the simple rules?

 
Sometimes. But generally there are too many details that could be considered cheating that are had to see and catch. One of the referees does the line, the other the ball, the other this and that, for example. They all have different jobs!
 

SteveStrummerUK
Why are they all eating delicious apple turnovers?
Is William Perry still a fridge, or is he now some other type of kitchen appliance?

Both of these questions will remain un-answered because the answers could be toxic and unsavory!
 

I can't think of any commercial lately that's really been better than the rest except

Old55
I was a little disappointed because I'd seen half of the commercials before the game.  

Which half?  The first half, the second half, the top half or

The Axe commercial had to be one of the

Beagle
I was in Seattle for 4 weeks in November and December.
 
I can honestly say I only saw the sky 4 times.  the rest of the time all I saw were clouds and fog.
 
I don't know how anyone can say the sky is bluest in Seattle when you can't even see the frickin sky!

Maybe not, but the grass really is greener.
