I don't know if I'd call last night's game super, but it was certainly better than the usual Super Sunday fare. Peyton Manning snagged the MVP honours in leading the Colts past hapless Rex Grossman and the Bears 29-17. Grossman might very well be the worst excuse for a starting quarterback in Super Bowl history. Look for the Bears to bring in someone - anyone!- to compete for the starting job next season.
The game, played in a torrential south Florida downpour, featured eight turnovers - five by Chicago. In the end, the precision passing of Manning, coupled with the strong running of Dominic Rhodes (my choice for MVP) and Joseph Addai overcame the defence and running game of the Bears.
Aside from the game, the half-time show (featuring Prince) was quite good. I'm not normally a big fan of the creepy little purple dude, but he put on a fine show. And the American commercials (a bargain at only $2.6 million each) were generally quite good, with the exception of the godaddy.com ad, which was..............really, really good.
