Pregame thoughts

• Chris Mortensen said the Steelers want to send a message to Alexander by beating him up early in the game. Unnecessary roughness penalty coming up!
• Some second thoughts on my pick. Seahawks haven't been good against the 3-4, Alexander isn't known to be good at blocking blitzers.
  
• As usual, Irvin, Young, and Tom Jackson provide absolutely no insight whatsoever.
  
• You could hide a lot of coke in Michael Irvin's tie.
  
• The "I'm going to Disney World" rehearsal commercial was entertaining, but if I were a player I'd be too suspicious to do it.
• You also wouldn't catch me alive posing with the Lombardi before winning it. Belichick wouldn't look at last year in a pregame press conference. Now players and coaches on both sides are doing artistic poses with it.
• Seeing Stevie Wonder is always good, but enough with song medleys. Songs were meant to be played from beginning to end.
• Wonder's faking it. He's not blind.
• This looks like a Steelers home game.
• When a team's season ends, their commercials should end too. I'm so sick of the Tom Brady's 5 layers of protection commercial. I can only imagine how someone who's not a Patriots fan feels.
• The former Super Bowl MVP ceremony is cool.
• Tuck in your shirt Jerry Rice!
• Where's your tie John Riggins?
• Now I understand why the Pats lost this year. If they were in the Super Bowl, Brady and Branch wouldn't have been able to be in the ceremony.
• Already sick of Full Throttle commercials.
• How many Seahawks fans are in Detroit? 25?
• Jerome Bettis is gonna be winded after that sprint onto the field.
• Aaron Neville is not a good singer. Why won't anyone admit this?
• I wonder what Dr. John's specialty is? Podiatry?
• Is that Jerome Bettis's mother singing the National Anthem?
• Adam Sandler's new movie Click is a ripoff of a Simpson Halloween episode where Bart and Millhouse could freeze time.
  
• Harrison Ford has completely lost it. 50-year-olds should not have earings and goatees.
• Tom Brady should not be doing the coin toss.
• I hope Joey Porter doesn't go for Brady's knees.
• With the coin toss, Tom Brady beats the Steelers again!
