Wacky Freakin Football ...
Damn Super Bowl.
As much as everyone hates (or says they hate) the Patriots, I really think the Giants got lucky last night. Sure, they played a good game and I think the Pats underestimated them, but it all comes down to a fingertip catch. He drops the ball and that's the game really. Ah well, "Any Given Sunday" as they say.
I just wanted a decent game, and I got one. It was a boring one (all Defense) but at least there were a couple of lead changes.
The commercials, by and large, were utter crap. There were a couple of good ones - the Will Ferrell Semi-Pro/BudLight one in particular - but the rest were very "meh". Not an improvement over last year for sure. Guess when you are spending $2.7 million for 30 seconds, it doesn't leave much budget for creativity. Dear ad agencies, we want to be entertained. If you are going to have a captive audience, at least do something clever. Otherwise, why bother. No wonder I love my TiVo so much.
