Yesterday marked the end of another season of football with the advent of Super Bowl XXXIX. In many ways it reminded me of last year, with the first quarter being dominated by both teams' defenses, both scoring in the second, being pretty uneventful during the third, and coming down to the wire in the final minutes of the fourth with the New England Patriots, for the third time in four years, winning the Super Bowl by a mere field goal. However, the differences between this year's show and that of last year were also striking, especially during the halftime show. If I had to describe the show this year it would have to be with the words: interesting, clean, and, in fact, rather dull. In contrast to last year's Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson show put on by MTV, yesterday's Paul McCartney concert, produced by the same people who did the Olympic's opening and closing ceremonies, was quite tame. All of the tumult that arose from Janet's "Wardrobe Malfunction", as it is has been dubbed, resulted in a very safe, practically unaffending Super Bowl. There were a few commercials that got out of hand, but the halftime could not have been, in my opinion, any cleaner. Will the Patriots' "dynasty" continue? Who knows, but I hope that the new "cleaned-up" version of the Super Bowl show will.

well, your site has a lot of interesting things on it, and the article about skin cancer and the sun is something to think about on those hot summer days at the beach, but I also had an experience this weekend regarding the superbowl, but not so much like yours. Thank you for coming to my site or allowing someone to come from yours, because it meant a lot and that certainly does.
