I had the pleasure of listening to Marv Albert broadcast the game on Westwood One last night. When I got in the car in Atlanta, I immediately began scanning AM radio for the game.
First up? Oddly enough, 870am from New Orleans! How strange is that, I had just left New Orleans, and it was like the AM radio followed me. Of course, 10 miles down the road, I lost it.
Next up? 1100am from St. Louis. I had it for almost 20 minutes...
Then? 1120am from Chattanooga. Had it for about 3 minutes...
Mind you I am between Atlanta and Chattanooga...
Next? 680am from Atlanta. Had it for 10 or 15 minutes...
Where could we go from there? 1220am WFAN in New York City!
That's right, I am between Atlanta, GA and Chattanooga, TN and the only radio I could get was in NYC? What the hell!
Finally, I got to hear the last 5 minutes of the game on 960am from Cincinnati, Ohio.
AM radio is so strange...
Oh, the game! I was torn, because I really like the Steelers. Rothlesberger, Bettis, Cower, Randle-El, all class acts. I was happy to see them win the big one. On the other hand, I had to root for Seattle. Shaun Alexander is a 'Bama man, and to see him win the MVP and Super Bowl this year would have been a great tribute to how talented he is. He was robbed having never gotten a look at the Heisman, and winning the MVP of "the league" is retribution.
Ron Dayne? Are you kidding?
Stay Tuned...
I was disappointed for Shaun as well....but he's young...many more chances to do it. At least he kicked Peyton's ass for MVP.
