    didn't notice it, but i did thought Madden was much lower key than usual. did anybody else think that about him?
    i'd give NBC low grades on this one overall. sideline reporting, in particular.

    Same here, although I really did enjoy the Boss. I wish they had let him do an encore.

    okay, someone out there, give me the name of the lady who was doing the NBC reporting from the Cards' sideline.
    was this her first gig?
    really, really weak I thought.

    thanks. I didn't think she offered much. i almost felt bad for her at times because she seemed to be pressing and uncomfortable. maybe it was just me.

    The first time I remember seeing Flanagan on pregame she seemed really subdued and meandering about something---I wasn't paying close attention, obviously, but it's like someone needed to take her pulse.

    Clutchcargo...that's similar to the way I thought she acted yesterday. it was like she didn't have a pulse at times, near comatose...weird.

    It could be nerves - I don't remember her ever having a gig as high-profile as the Super Bowl. She's been fine when I've seen her in the past, but it's always been at events that were much, much smaller.

    Not a fan of Michaels/Madden. They just seem to miss stuff far too often. For example, they routinely have no idea who recovered a fumble even after the ref has signaled possession. I start wondering if they're even paying attention.

    Totally agree on Michaels/Madden.
