The anatomy of a Super Bowl loss

[lithera]

First, I would like to say congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Especially Jerome Bettis. The man is a class act and if we had to lose, I don't mind him winning.

Here is what I've taken away from the game -

1. Dropped passes. There were at least four dropped passes that would have made the difference in the game. Had Jerramy Stevens converted on any one of them... You can't win a game when you let that many balls slip through your fingers.

2. Uncaught punt. What the heck was up with that? It wasn't a huge play but it was an example of us not really being in the game after a certain point. It got scattered and lost.

3. Inability to convert. We just didn't. There were plays where we should have scored, in fact would have scored in just about any other game I've watched this season and we didn't.

4. Officiating. It was bad. It was just bad. I cannot believe that those officials were the best of the best. There were so many calls that were just awful.... *makes a face*

Again. Congrats Pittsburgh.

But what's a Code Black?

I don't know yet. The show isn't on for another 30 minutes.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

How about now?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

It hasn't happened yet.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

How about now?

Nope. There was a woman who wouldn't stop screaming and one of the interns screamed back at her to get her to stop. That was awesome.

There was also a gratuitous shower scene between the three hot girls in the begining.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

I like the screaming thing. :) Was one of the girls in the shower Sandra Oh?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yes, she was, in fact, one of them.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

I love her. So far as I know she's the only Korean-Canadian working in TV right now.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I love her. She's great.

So... It turns out that these two guys built a WWII bazooka from scratch and fired it but it didn't go off and the guy went to go stand in front of it and then it fired.

So, he has an unexploded bazooka round in his gut.

That's why they have to shut down the entire hospital? Damn. From the way they were carrying on I assumed it was a kilo of C4 in his stomach or something.

Well, in a place where there is a ton of oxygen and other flamables, where they don't allow smoking firstly because of flamable other than cancer health risks.

Huh. So, the screaming lady covered in blood from the commercial was the one the intern screamed at, and a Code Black means a risk of FOOM.

What about the chick with premonitions of death?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Well, she had a bad feeling this morning and didn't want to go to work.

And yeah, Code Black means possible explosion in a place that would... well... even a little explosion in an operating room would probably level the hospital.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

My yearning to know things has been laid to rest. All is well.

[sharkcowsheep.livejournal.com]

Except now I gotta know if stuff blew up or if the guy died.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

It is a cliffhanger. I don't know if he blows up or what yet, either.

Damnit! I need to know! (But I don't want to actually watch the show.)

We were speculating on what a "Code Black" was since one of the people who was at our Super Bowl party actually works in a hospital and that code doesn't exist in her hospital.

That show is much, much better than I think it has any right to be. I love it. I'm so addicted.

I guess if you had people come in to a place with bombs or other explosives more than once you'd create a code for it really fast.
