From beginning to end, the Super Bowl (pre and post game hype) rivals Lord of the RIngs in length of time . . . . . its long . . . but I watched most of it and actually began to understand some of the plays - saw a spectacular end to end run by one of the Steelers -pretty impressive. Was able to get through the half time show by Bruce, the American icon, the "everyman". His performance wasn't as good as I expected it to be - but then he needed to almost scream out his songs to be heard over the din.
