Over 106 million households watched the Super Bowl making it the most watched in American television history. That figure beat out the old record held by the final episode of MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital); a comedy set during the Korean War of the 1950s. The number is staggering as it beat out previous Super Bowl figures even by bigger market teams. The stories behind the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts (largely because of Peyton Manning who is a native of Louisiana plus his dad, Archie, was a former QB of the Saints) were compelling enough. The number is way bigger than the entire population of the Philippines! And does that figure count those watching abroad? That's gotta be bigger.
The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to add Kirk Hinrich from the Chicago Bulls. He'll provide great back-up to Rajon Rondo and whoever the Lakers have running the point. We'll see how this progresses real soon.
Only 11 fans of the Indianapolis Colts went to greet the team when they returned from Miami. Does this make them fair-weather fans or did the bad weather have something to do with this? Look it was a terrible loss. An interception can happen at anytime. We've seen it happen to Brett Favre and Tom Brady and other big time QBs. It happens. If I was all riled up when the Colts deliberately dropped the match against the New York Jets, that has nothing to do with the Super Bowl loss. If they had lost in their first playoff match then I'd say yes it had something to do with it. Not anymore. Tough loss.
Talk 'N Text should have not walked out of Game 4. They practically handed the series to Ginebra. And if they thought that the officiating was good in Game 5 does that mean that even in a fair match they cannot beat Ginebra? Now we have three SMC teams in the semis.
What's this about the PBL?
