Hey Blue, is there a way to login without posting a comment? Now that there's the "keep track of viewed posts" functionality, it pays to be logged in even if you're not actively commenting.

No, the user settings cookie is separate from the board cookies, and it's the latter you need to set (by posting at least once) to use board features like tracking read threads.

The game was good.
The ads were so-so.
The half-time show was poor.
The rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was lousy.

I'm also pretty disgusted with the broadcast quality of Fox Sports. Yes I'm still watching standard definition tube TV, but their broadcasts have gotten worse over the past year. The scoreboard is tiny and almost impossible to read, especially the game clock. Any moving camera angle shown along the length of the field, the yard markers flicker in and out real bad, and the whole screen is grossly distorted as if they're trying to squish a HD wide screen signal onto my standard def TV (and yes, I'm watching their standard def channel). I first noticed this during the World Series so I guess they're not going to bother fixing it.

I've never been a big fan of Fox Sports (especially during baseball season), and this makes me dislike them even more. I know I should get HDTV but no other standard def channel gives me problems, just Fox.

That was probably the worst halftime show ever.

HOLY CRAP THAT GIRL CANNOT SING WORTH A SHIT!!!!!

I didn't watch any of it, but the BEP suck ass anyway, so I'm glad other people finally noticed.

edit: Seriously, I know I'm getting old, but if this picture is the future of music, just fucking kill me now.

I wonder what percentage of Steelers' fans turned this into a Stupor Bowl.
