Hot Tub Time Machine: Super Bowl XXXII
As a writer for Gridiron Experts I’m constantly trying to predict the future. Whether it’s picking games on Sunday or digging for fantasy football gems, it’s all about the day after tomorrow. On Saturday night, the NFL Network let me take a break from the psychic friends hot-line, putting down the never-ending flipping of draft mags to re-live a memory from 1998.
Favre vs. Elway, Packers vs. Broncos, Super Bowl XXXII was one of my favorite games of all time.
You know that feeling where you get a chance to reminisce on the past, and prefer the memories. Seeing things in a different light and not having it live up to your expectations. Like an old-school video game that you played to death; Mega Man, Excitebike or Techo Bowl that seemed so much cooler when you were a kid…Super Bowl XXXII was not an exaggerated memory.
While I did get a kick out seeing a pre-streoid: Ed Hochuli, a younger Mike Holgrem or the wicked high-tech special effects that TV could offer in 1998, the game was very entertaining. Still, it’s funny seeing retro baddass’s like Bill Romanowski or fantasy studs like Mark Chmura that you’ve …Continue reading Hot Tub Time Machine: Super Bowl XXXII
Super Bowl Poker Game
Are you hosting a Super Bowl Party? Want to put a little money on the game with your friends, but tired of the traditional “Super Bowl Squares”? Gridiron Experts has a poker game that is fun for all that we’d love to share with you. This game can be customized to playing for fun, drinks, or some big bucks.
What you’ll need: a deck of cards (maybe two decks if you have more than 9 people playing)
Object of the Game: To score the most points from kickoff to the last play of the game.
Prep work: You’ll need to do a little work before you can play, but it’s worth it. Find a deck of cards that has room to write on each card (or write on paper then tape them to the cards). Then assign each card with a different situation that could happen in the game. This game is totally customizable but we made it for you….

Super Bowl In Vegas Or Reno?
There’s nothing cool about having people over to watch the Super Bowl while still living at home with your parents.
“MOM! Are those chicken wings ready yet?”
“I told you, they were out of wings so I’m making rice crispy squares and fruit punch”
“We’re drinking Beer, Mom! We don’t need punch”
“Did you take the garbage out dear?”
“I’ll do it later MOM, man…we’re watching the Super Bowl…leave me alone”
Why not catch a last minute flight to Reno or Las Vegas instead? We were just sent these promo codes from Hotwire.com on what could be the cheapest air fare around!
Well, maybe there’s one guy who’s got it good still living at home……

The Super Bowl isn’t even here yet but Sportsbooks have already set up odds for next years favorite (that was fast?) Funny thing is the nothing seems to change, Patriots are number one again. Maybe they figure people heading the Las Vegas for the Super Bowl might want to get a head start on their betting-lol. Never the less someone must have taken a long shot bet on the Cardinals and is now cashing in (while laughing their ass’s off). So who’s the turn around team of 2009?

Arizona & Pittsburgh Super Bowl….Really?
I’m sure the Steelers nation will freak out, as will the handful of genuine fans of the Arizona Cardinals (the ones that actually went to the games, as opposed to the bandwagoners who bought tickets to the NFC Championship) when I say that this looks to be the weakest Super Bowl in years!
I know there are no free rides in the NFL, I know that the Steelers and Cardinals respectfully won their divisions and played hard in the playoffs, but is this really the best the NFL has to offer? What happened?
How did the 13-3 “Smash & Dash” Titans, with their fresh from an AA meeting quarterback, not go farther than a first round exit?
How did the 11-5 Patriots with another superstar in the making quarterback not get in and do some damage?
Where were the Manning’s? Peyton and Eli are always in someone’s face, either stealing wins in the dying seconds of a game, or selling you junk during the commercial breaks.
What about the Cinderella stories from the Chargers and Eagles? The stars align so you can get into the playoffs, and nothing! They both fell short and now have many 30+ players on their teams that are one step closer to falling into the “Dan Marino category” (no Super Bowl ring).
Regardless of how it happened, I’m going to need another wardrobe malfunction to get any kind of excitement out of this game.
