Dissappointing Dull Playoff Games

The Steelers and the Seahawks won so easily the games were not even competitive. How can there be that much difference between the final four teams? Carolina and Denver played like they were in a stupor. I turned both games off at the beginning of the fourth quarter. I hope other people didn't find the games a dull as I did. The games left me with the feeling that the Super Bowl will probably be a blow out too but I have no idea which team might win.

Janet Jackson's breast baring Super Bowl performance was the topic of much testimony at the US Senate Decency on Television Hearings last week. Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska is the Chairman and is concerned about the vulagar content of what is shown on TV. I was surprised at how many times the NFL and ESPN were cited. He and committee members are concerned about the near porn content of many TV shows that children have access to. I emailed him that to say that I think Gangster Rap and the seeming NFL-ESPN endorsement of it is a much more serious threat to the youth of America than anything else on television today.

The Musical Chairs shuffle within the coaches fraternity that has just occurred doesn't look like it will exactly upset any balance of power within "the league."
