Superbowl Numbers
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010You can read the boxscore for yourself, and you’ve seen about the TV ratings already. Here are some stats that you’ll only see on theskinny.
| 4 | God’s ranking in Louisiana Facebook “likes,” behind New Orleans Saints, Black and Gold, and Drew Brees. |
| 5 | God’s ranking in New Orleans Facebook “likes.” Shockey comes out of nowhere to leapfrog the almighty in the metro area. |
| 96.7 | Drew Brees completion percentage after the first quarter Sunday, if you throw out the one that Coleston dropped and a spike to stop the clock at the end of the first half. (He was 29 of 32, I think I read.) |
| 1 | Number of people that I’ve ever heard of who had slept with the Lombardi trophy in bed with them. |
| 1 | Number of people in my house who like to sleep with their favorite toy. (Two if you count me falling asleep with my ipod playing.) |
| 1 | Number of coaches (Peyton again) who’ve invited their players’ kids to come run around on the field during the final pregame walthrough, so it could be a big event for the whole families. |
| 9.5 | Rating, on a 1-10 scale, of Drew Brees wife. |
| 6.25 | Rating, on a 1-10 scale, of the wife Brees would be able to pull were he to be a normal desk job kind of guy. |
| 0 | Number of parades I’ve listened to on the radio, prior to yesterday. |
| 12 | Approximate number of gigabytes that a TIVO’d Superbowl in high-def takes up in disc space. |
| 13 | Days that it will take Carbonite to back up the game once I get the file transferred to my computer. |
| 6 | Maximum number of hours I’ve slept in any given night since the game. Yesterday, I was up at 3:30 to watch highlights. Today, I woke up at 4:00. |
| 0 | Number of Superbowl commercials that I’ve seen. I’m feeling a little bit inadequate in my ability to be socially conversant, but sooner or later, I’ll watch that Tivo recording of the broadcast. |
We had a great night out on Bourbon Street. I haven’t worked up the nerve to check the pics and video that I took, but I’ll post some of that stuff by the end of the week.
