10+ Super Bowl games, activities and more — go Hawks! |
Decided today to see what I could find in the way of interesting Superbowl XL links, so this post will continue to be a work-in-progress throughout the day. Enjoy the game and … go Hawks!

1. Watch the Superbowl ads after they appear today in iFilm 2006 Superbowl Ads showcase, as well as past ads from Superbowl 2002-2005. This year they are adding a feature where you can “snag” your favorite ads and easily add them to your blog/website. For a snag example, check out last year’s banned GoDaddy.com ad below:
2. The official NFL site.
3. Microsoft offers two Super Bowl party game templates.
4. Blank betting sheet containing various betting options like coin toss, team to receive kick-off, who will score first, etc. (Word .doc version)
5. Superbowl Bingo cards. Dip, chips, and Bingo, what a combination. Just refresh, print out cards and hand them out to everybody at your Superbowl party.
6. CNET’s match the Super Bowl teams to stadum game. Uses Google Earth.
7. Bestselling Superbowl eBay items stats being used to predict the winner of the Superbowl. As of this writing, Seattle leads with $148.20 to $105.73 Pittsburgh.
8. Interactive Flash Super Bowl map. More useful for those actually at the Super Bowl and dreamers, this shows the hotspots surrounding the stadium and Ford Field itself.
9. The ad saturation sucks, but about.com has a good Super Bowl XL section containing games and other activities.
10. 7 Tips for How to throw a Superbowl Party from ehow.com
11. Tagging: Technorati: Superbowl, IceRocket, Topix.net
Did this post make you go hmm?




You might want to check #3 and #9, you’ve got the microsoft templates twice.

Too bad about the ‘hawks — or rather, the officiating.

The Hawks totally blew clock management. The officiating can’t be blamed for that. I don’t know what they were thinking at either at just before the half or the end of the game. Still, it was a good run and they proved they can get to the big game at least, which was one of the diggs against them in year’s past.

True, the ‘hawks messed up the end of both halves. I never like to blame the officiating, considering it just part of the game, but IMHO in this case the refs swung the score by 14 points. First, the questionable interference call on DJ in the end zone, and second the highly questionable touchdown by Roethlisberger (hey, I can spell “Roethlisberger”!). I won’t ding them for the holding call that brought back the one long pass (he wasn’t holding him, was he? He only had one arm around his neck. At least he didn’t use a chain!)
