What an incredible ending to Super Bowl XLII. When you find yourself cheering for teams and players whom you normally dislike, you know something special is happening. Congratulations to Eli, the NY Giants, and Archie's gonads.
I noticed that at the end of the 2nd Quarter, Bud Light ran a Super Bowl ad starring Carlos Mencia. Mencia, as you may recall, had mocked the rebuilding effort in New Orleans as part of his comedy routine ("Why are we rebuilding New Orleans? Whose idea was this, Aquaman?" and "I'm glad Hurricane Katrina happened. It taught us an important lesson: black people can't swim.").
So what's he wearing in his lucrative Super Bowl ad? A sweatshirt with a fleur-de-lis on it*. Is this a sign of belated solidarity? Perhaps the mind of Mencia has changed. Here's the ad:

Update: In the comments, Ashley links to his emailed conversation with Carlos in 2006. (Thx for the link.)

* And it appears as if there is a black strip of tape over part of the fleur de lis.

I will now have to bring my college hockey Nads t-shirt out of the mothballs and wear it in all its glory. Go Nads!
I had quite the dialogue with Mr Mencia. Maybe he *has* come around.
I've said for a long time that Archie could make a lot of money bottling and selling his sperm. 67% of the time, Archie Manning sperm generated a super bowl champion.
Here in NYC we're still walking around looking stunned ... the parade is tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure they never thought they'd have to do it. Marching up Broadway, the canyon of heroes. I think I'll head downtown ...
