I have made a decision to maintain a running commentary for Super Bowl XL for my last Ferringo Report of the season ending 2005 to 2006. I must give you a warning now, by the end of the game I was really in pieces, therefore I can’t say all my ideas are quite clear. In short, here’s the primary Super Bowl blog of Doc’s Sports:

Time: 4:40 pm: Hello and welcome! Let’s get this party on the move with four causes why I haven’t chosen Pittsburgh to put my money on: 

1. Nobody’s battled with Seattle. Seattle’s two playoff triumphs were against teams firing away, their Dallas and New York signature regular season wins were very weird, and their division was typically pitiable.

2. Football is a cruel and bodily sport, and the more brutish and physical the team is the more it becomes a winner in almost all the games. Pittsburgh is today’s team.

4) The entire amount of quantitative statistics - ATS moving down the road, 1 to 6 ATS goodbye Seattle, 16 to 2 Pittsburgh, etc – is on the side of the Steelers.

5:32 pm: I want to give you to brief updated stories for this week: SB Moments and SB Myths. For a start, I don’t think that prior to the Super Bowl IV I deserted the terrible parachute contest. I think I should add to my list anything connected to angry mobs ripping people apart. Pretty lousy. Furthermore, The article in Sports Illustrated written by Steve Rushin dropped the legend about the Super Bowl’s actual audience number. As a prize winning writer, Rushin did a great job, however I am still rather abashed that Rebecca Lobo’s wife bashed me.     

5:54 pm: The two stories told this week about coming in to the Super Bowl are undoubtedly the worst: an ankle safety roller and Dracula linebacker demanding a tight end above the average.

6:06 pm: The disgusting eight hour event could make a huge write up for me. However, in picking out specific subjects to intern in space to reflect the Super Bowl XL buildup I would prefer: Stevie Wonder, The earring of Indiana Jones, Mike Ditka’s book of hackneyed phrases and Condoleeza Rice’s blunder.  

6:10 pm: And now for some end item props you can have: the parents of Jerome Bettis – 150 versus whiskey shots I do (+200). Does John Madden wear trousers? The answer is yes (even) or no (+165). 

6:19 pm: The most terrible toss I’ve ever witnessed was made by Tom Brady. This was even more inferior to this year’s Rose Bowl’ Sandra Day O’Conner. What I want to say is, what is Brady doing there anyway? It was simply belittling, and that doesn’t make any difference whether he’s won numerous Super Bowls or had his way with supermodels.

6:26 pm: The idea of Pittsburgh’s defense at the game’s start being aligned on the field is something I find great. Preferring the ball after halftime is one of the fundamental principles of video game football. I believe this is projected to the Super Bowl. Furthermore, in my opinion, it’s simpler to move the agitating energy to the ball’s defense side in such a game. 

6:30 pm: That’s all I have to say about the setting the tone by the Steelers defense. Out to a firing start, Seattle has copied the script right to the letter. Fast reads in short spurts in the optimal method for neutralizing the lightning attack.

6:38 pm: Anheuser-Busch is the single entity hotter than the Seahawks at the moment. With their advertising to date they are two for two.

6:48 pm: The opportunity to make the primary game changing play was given to Ike Taylor, yet he missed this initiation. Darrell Jackson, in the interim, made a tie with Andre Reed for the majority of the first quarter events. This is certainly not an auspicious beginning to note in the connection between Super Bowl and Buffalo.

6:50 pm: So we come to our initial queried game call. Having their touchdown overturned, Seattle got an inference call for an offensive pass. Stretching out his arm, Jackson certainly did that as he started off, yes it’s the correct call, however it’s not an enforced matter being used regularly this year. Having to settle for three, Seattle had no choice.

7:08 pm: First quarter played with negligence. Now you can understand why prior to the game there are not more than two weeks. Yet, that would indicate to root the Lingerie Bowl there’s less time. 

7:08 pm: They’ll want to kill themselves and be nostalgic for the few assets they’ve got if Seattle is defeated. At the moment they are really on top, yet they have not exploited the super field position and the three Pittsburgh three and outs. Although not here, that could go against the forty niners. 

7:10 pm: This guy Tom Rouen is really getting to me. Let’s face it he’s had three touchbacks and had three opportunities to get the Steelers. And he’s not come anywhere near. I might have punched such an effect and it’s such a delicate thing. 

7:18 pm: Another pass the Jerramy Stevens guy has dropped. The going’s difficult but he is really making Joey Porter seem as if he knows what’s telling us.

7:34 pm: Amazing playing on third and twenty eight by Big Ben. Just short of the scrimmage line he gasped a ‘why not?’ ball tossed to Hines Ward, who collapsed with it on the three, such stupid playing.

7:37 pm: This territory is four-down definitely. Stopping twice and screeching Bettis made for a run-pass option for Big Ben. They shout for an cumbersome looking keeper sweep, and it seemed that Big Ben didn’t enter. In actual fact, the official rushed up to mark it for a fourth down, and all at once raised his arms. Hold on, did Frank Drebin crawl into the game dressed up as an official? I’m not sure this is going to work out. 

7:40 pm: During the past three minutes, some twelve time we’ve Tivo’d Roethlisberger’s run. And if you break at the apt moment, the plane was broken by the ball. Hardly. Firstly, I don’t believe he received it, anyway at this moment I accept anything going.

7:48 pm: During the two minute warm up a morphing just took place and Hasselbeck turned into Donovan McNabb. But really, what in heavens is Seattle try to do? They descended to the Pittsburgh thirty six, wasted half a minute attempting to get ready, and broke down so pitifully that they are really mixed up with the Steelers into timeout calling. What is actually happening?

7:51 pm: In all the Super Bowl history Josh Brown hardly missed a fifty four yarder to finish up with one of the most pedestrian and useless first halves. It’s beyond my comprehension how the Steelers are ever going to turn this game into a triumph.  

7:53 pm: The Roethlisberger touchdown is still nagging at Mike Holmgren. Lousy game. Instead you should nag at your third and twenty eight conversion surrender.

8:08 pm: One gets the impression at the Super Bowl that a Rolling Stones cover band is playing halftime. It’s awful to see all these tight black pants here, there must have been a two for one sale. I can see Mick’s diaper slipping out, he appears and sounds terrible. Just been mailed in by Keith. A secure and not inspiring selection to bring on in a half time break. In brief, for the game it’s ideal.

Can it be so difficult to bring along an enjoyable halftime entertainment? In my opinion, three components should be comprised in all future shows:

1) Homeless and a money appeal.

2) Exploitations leading to possible death or horrific entertainment.

8:32 pm: Seattle’s season just ended with Willie Parker. Pittsburgh is now up to fourteen to three thanks to his seventy five yard touchdown dash, viciously blocked by Alan Faneca. Holmgren and Seahawk’s real play will now be witnessed. Soon all the gates will be pouring out with this Huge play.

8:44 pm: Seattle cannot retort with points and Shaun Alexander is making a tough run. Seahawks are on the ropes while Brown got in a fifty yarder left.

Beer, bowls, and betting – the three Bs, in the interim, are holding the party and the crowd in suspense. Everything is gathering momentum, and several mad Steelers supporters are on the cusp. The Technicolor pictures are actually hypnotizing everybody else. Men, reacting so primitively to something so ridiculous, excite and amuse the women. Eaten by vice, the men seem really in bliss not to have the women on their minds.

8:52 pm: the shaking has produced threats. It’s hard to believe. It’s quite incredible. The ball inside Seattle’s ten yard line, Pittsburgh was leading by fourteen to three. They were only one score away from heaven, and Roethlisberger cast a terrible interception that that was virtually taken by Kelly Herndon as a touchdown. Terribly under throwing the ball Ben got Cedrick Wilson so clearly open; just horrible to observe, and instantly I’ve got the eleven upside down feeling.

8:56 pm: To make capital out of his game, it takes Hasselbeck just forty seven seconds of playing. Jerramy Stevens, hard to understand, is hit for a sixteen yard touchdown by Hasselbeck. I think I’m going to vomit, folks – we’ve got the game.

9:14 pm: Three and outs – three times successively and both teams refuse to take hold of the game. With a superb field position, Pittsburgh is around midfield, but couldn’t exploit the situation. No A game was introduced by Rouen, although Chris Gardocki kept Seattle down on its own two. We literally had to make a comparison of punters, so that describes how terrible the game was.

9:20 pm: A Huge querying call has sprouted against Seattle. Seattle has been guided by Hasselbeck on a skilful drive, however and eighteen yard toss to Jerramy Stevens could have provided them with first and goal at the one and on a terrible holding call was just called back. I considered the other two tough calls in order. This is a pitiful one.

I’ll accept it nevertheless!   

Whenever now the officials sling a flag at Seattle my crazy Steelers supporter – My Buddy Rich – looks for somebody’s face to throw the terrible towel at. It’s all quite funny. There are people who get annoyed, but he’s in such ado that people will keep quiet.

9:24 pm: Hasselbeck’s mind is swamped with officials; that’s for sure. An awful interception was thrown by him and then on the return a personal foul hit him from fifteen yards. The cutting out a blocker on the return rule is one I can’t bear. Earlier this year it was called against Pittsburgh, I recall, perhaps it was Baltimore, maybe B.S. ok. It’s a laugh that now it’s returning to assist them.

9:30 pm: This is just what I’m referring to when I query the coach Mike Holmgren. How the Steelers enjoy using trick plays people have mentioned too often. Those trick plays include Antwaan Randle and or Hines Ward nine out of ten times. And then what occurs, on a broad receiver option pass from Twan to Hines they get defeated for a touchdown. This year, I suppose, I been witness to that kind of play by Pittsburgh three times. For that one, they certainly don’t have to delve far into the playbook.

9:48 pm: I’m far too intoxicated and edgy to keep this writing going on much longer. On a seemingly Hasslebeck shuffle being overturned Seattle was rewarded. Nevertheless, points they won’t get. Pounding is what Pittsburgh knows best. 

In their game with Indianapolis in the usual season, wow, that awful individual foul for a low block certainly was a blow for Steelers. Just as halftime was coming up. In that game it was an important move.

9:54 pm: uuuhhm. Everyone was afraid of this kind of stupid happening: it’s obvious that Seattle’s not going to be a victor, but with just eighty yards two minutes to get a touchdown against a preventive defense. Assuming they succeed, they’ll need to have two, and the destiny of millions of dollars wager throughout the globe will be determined by that single conversion. It’s quite surreal.

9:56 pm: What’s your opinion about Joe Jurevicius being such a hero in his daily routine? Would you say he’s the type who recall more rounds of ice and beer? Would you expect him to turn up when you’ve got a flat tire and assist on the spot? He would certainly be one of my connections in the quiz show ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ He’s a mere clutch, even though he’s driving me crazy at the moment, and is always the guy ready at hand.

9:58 pm: Let’s be serious, McNabb is the guy! Two plays were run by Seattle in under a minute. Had they been wise, the fifteen extra yards would have been obtained, the field goal would be kicked, and the onsides kick would have been tried. The Ferringo Report has had my other articles on this, but it seems that this logic finds no supporters among the NFL coaches.

10:05 pm: That’s it! Take the cover city guys! Steven hits the ground when receiving the pass from Hasselbeck, and it’s been taken over by the Steelers. Kneeling out of it is Ben, and we have overcome it. And now I can use my Latin phrase I’ve been waiting to show off with: “Victory puts us on a level with Heaven” – this is by Lucretius and written in 57 BC “On the Nature of Things.”

Gee such a lousy game. I would say this Super Bowl was a complete waste of time if it weren’t for that late game gambling excitement. Anyway I’m delighted for the Steelers now that they won. For the last two years I’ve been watching football at Rich’s on Sundays, so I’ve watched so much Pittsburgh that I can safely say they are entitled to it. After discussing the entire week whether or not to take a chance on all I’ve got I made the decision not to. I’m happy I didn’t put all the down on the bet despite the fact that I won my wager, as it happened to be a much more balanced game than expected. I can hardly see properly so how am I going to do the editing of this junk? You know I love everybody out there, and my spite goes on Jared from Subway, and it will be divine intervention if I get to work in the morning only two hours late.
