Super Bowl Thoughts

Am I the only one not impressed with the national anthem? Two minutes and five seconds. Are you fucking kidding me? We all know you can sing. (You did win a contest)
Why is it incumbent on sports to keep the anthem alive? Why doesn't the song get played before the Oscar's or maybe before 24 or Lost?
Why does the NFL and the media have to dissect every play? This instant replay has gotten out of hand. David Caruso spends less time on murder cases then we do on some plays. I say abolish instant replay and accept that there will be human error. It hasn't affected baseball or soccer.
Having said that if you are going to review everything, then why not review Warner's final pass attempt/fumble.
And if it was a pass attempt like it was judged on a similar play in the first half, then where was the receiver and why was it not intentional grounding.

What's a little cut on your finger?

All of the reports i read about the Peters-Ruutu biting incident say something like "Peters started the skirmish by shoving the palm of his glove into Ruutu's face." "Ruutu responded by chomping down on Peters' glove, catching his teeth on the player's thumb." Everyone is calling for a suspension without asking themselves some simple questions. What would you do if a 6ft4in 230lb guy shoved his stinky hockey glove in your face? Could Ruutu breath? Was the thumb shoved into Ruutu's mouth? Andrew Peters has 7 points in 5 NHL seasons. He's as useful on the ice as a glowing puck. Getting your thumb bit one time seems like an acceptable consequence for someone that is constantly shoving his glove in faces of other players. This is a non story, lets move on!
