Super Bowl Edition…
• Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt is going to go ahead and interview for the Raiders head coaching position. I don’t blame him for taking the interview, but if he takes the actual job, then I don’t think he’s as bright as people are giving him credit for. Steelers offensive coordinator has to be a better job than Raiders head coach. Of course, being a spooge squeegie man in a porno viewing booth is probably a better job than any job in the Raiders organization. If the Steelers have another good year offensively (which seems likely), better head coaching jobs will be out there for Whisenhunt next year.
• I gotta tell ya, I really enjoyed Chuck Klosterman’s Super Bowl blog. Especially the Sunday, 3:28 a.m. entry.
• There were earlier reports that Joe Montana refused to appear with the rest of the Super Bowl MVPs because he wanted $100 Gs and the NFL wouldn’t give it to him. Montana (kinda) denies that. He says he told ESPN earlier in the week that he wanted to go to his kid’s basketball game. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t tell the NFL that $100,000 would get him on the field… I dunno. I didn’t really miss him, and to me, it’s a non-story. I think he was upstairs. Masturbating.
• It’s so rare that dudes shave each other on national television. Ben Roethlisberger deserves a lot of credit for sending the message to America that yes, it’s perfectly normal and acceptable for dudes to shave one another. Such courage.
• On that subject, though, the one commercial I’ll comment on was the one for the new Gillette 5-blade razor. I guess that’s what Benjamin used last night. The Onion saw this coming.

Wisenhut is a retard if he takes that job. It will destroy him mentally and emotionally. Get the offer, maybe get a salary bump from the Rooneys and wait for a better team.

Oh, and I hate klosterman, he’s a twit’s twit. But the Polmalu story is true and not unique. he is that way. And his wife wears awesome shoes. I saw her shoes once. Good taste.

MJD–
Thank you for highlighting the Klosterman blog. I enjoyed it immensely myself.
I also agree with you moonshine…Wisenhunt would be crazy to take that job.

Wait a minute, you think Montana’s kids really had a basketball game on SuperBowl sunday? You’re kidding, right? Even if they played on Saturday, he still could have flown back for the game.
Dude should have been there. Period.

Why should he have been there? He’s retired. The NFL should’ve made sure he was going to be there before they scheduled the ‘MVP’ thing.

Because everything Joe Montana is, is defined by the Super Bowl. He’s gotten to lead an unbelievable life, earn millions, and is a hero to millions of people. All because of the Super Bowl and the NFL. Dude needs to at least pay a little homage. It’s not like it would have been hard for him to walk out there and be feted. He wouldn’t even have had to stick around for the whole game. Just smack of selfishness.
Not to mention that he was already there for the whole week. Getting paid to be there of course.
