We had to get our grits on this morning at breakfast, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Shocker
In the greatest Super Bowl upset since the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts in 1969, the New York Giants and the New England Patriots out-performed the commercials four to one.

Who knew?
The odds of the New York Giants winning the Super Bowl were 20-1 at the beginning of the season. The odds of the Giants winning the Super Bowl and their aged coach, Tom Coughlin, surviving the icy Gatorade bath? 100-1.

Not good
I don’t want to say the Super Bowl commercials sucked, but halfway through the game I was starting to miss the Aflec duck and the Geico lizard. Thank goodness Fox kept cutting to Peyton Manning in his luxury box or I would have gone into NFL commercial withdrawals.

Disney plan to take over the world
The “Hannah Montana” movie with, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, destroyed the competition at the box office earning $29 million. It’s all part of Disney’s new “If-you-have-a-daughter-between-ages-7-and-11- give-us-all-your-money-because-we-will-get-it-eventually” marketing plan.

That should be enough money to pay for the bypass operation to fix Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cirus’s achey breaky heart.

Tom Petty and the Hipbreakers, we kid and love the TPATH
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rocked the Super Bowl halftime. It was the greatest performance by an old guy since 2004, when a 77-year-old Hugh Hefner had 18-year-old blonde, Kendra Wilkinson, move into the Playboy Mansion.

Yikes
“The Eye” opened theaters Friday. A woman, played by Jessica Alba, is given sight by a cornea transplant discovers she can see what her cornea donor saw. It’s a terrifying horror movie because her cornea donor was an Oakland Raider fan.

Amour
France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy married singer/model Carla Bruni who dated Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Donald Trump and Kevin Costner among many others. Not to imply that Carla has been around, but marrying her is like buying a used car from Budget Rent-A-Car.

France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy married singer/model Carla Bruni It was a cute wedding, the diminutive Sarkozy served as both the groom and as his own ring boy.

France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy married singer/model Carla Bruni. It was sweet, the bride had something old, something new, something borrowed and something bleau.

That would be awful, I guess . . .
Wouldn’t you simply hate to be Tom Brady this morning? Imagine waking up next to a super model while owning three previous Super Bowl rings and still being young, handsome, rich, fit, talented, wealthy and famous? And why am I now suddenly so damned depressed?
