We’ve all heard the annoying catchphrase that the ads are the best thing about the Superbowl. Well, if you’re a Raiders fan, I guess that would definitely be the case on Sunday. Ooh, low blow! I myself was sort of torn between the Raiders and the Bucs, although in the end I was hoping that the Raiders would win it, if only to see Warren Sapp go postal. The battle of two ex-Redskin quarterbacks was a pretty interesting coincidence, really only serving to show just how idiotic the ‘skins management is. Jack Kent Cooke is rolling around in his grave watching Dan Snyder<\/strike> the little Troll systematically destroy the franchise…<\/p>\n

\"Art<\/a>Speaking of the Redskins, I am just incensed that Art Monk was once again not inducted into the NFL Hall Of Fame<\/a>. Not only was he not voted in, he didn’t even make the first cut. Hello?! The Hall Of Fame’s<\/a> own list of accolades sums it up:
\n<\/p>\n

Nine times during his sterling 16-season career with the Redskins, New York Jets, and Philadelphia Eagles, former Syracuse star exceeded 50 catches in a season and five times he gained more than 1,000 receiving yards in a season. He also set NFL records for most catches in a season (106), and most consecutive games (183) with at least one reception. His consecutive games with a reception streak extended to 183 games. In 1992 he became the NFL’s then-all-time leader in receptions with his 820th career catch in a game against the Denver Broncos. He finished his career with 940 receptions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How they can ignore these numbers and the less quantifiable aspects of his career – his leadership, charisma, and above all, his class – is just beyond me.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to my original point. Visit Fimoculous.com<\/a> (one of my favorite blogs, by the way) and take a look at the cool Flash project the webmaster did that lets you view all of the commercials by quarter and vote for your favorite<\/a>. Ifilm<\/a> also has an archive of Superbowl ads.<\/p>\n
