The Ranting Beaver

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.

Sorry for not posting in a long while but but between work, holidays and birthdays been somewhat busy. But I will try to be back.

Let's see some things on my mind? hmmmmmm

1) well I haven't been this non-excited for a super bowl in well forever! Between this match-up and the piss poor excuse for good commercials last year, I just can't bring myself to get excited. 1 of 2 things are going to happen here. 1. Brady and company win and we will have to listen for the rest of our lives how they are the best team ever...far from it in my opinion. Or 2 Giants win pull the "greatest uset ever" yeah right...and another Manning wins which forces them to be in our faces for who knows how long....yeah sorry for not being excited about either possibility.

2)Directv customer service SUCKS! Anyone who knows me knows I have been a loyal supporter of directv for years, even backing them on message boards. But Now in the past 5 months I have had 2 very piss poor customer service situations with them and just may leave! No Sunday ticket for me??? eh oh well, maybe now I will try to figure out how sopcasts work and save me a couple bucks!

3)Being without Directv has forced me to use redbox....hmm nifty little service I must say! Sometimes not that great of a selection but at the same time there is always something for everyone! YAAAAAAAY for $1.00 rentals. And if you google redbox codes you can get free rentals too.

4)My Nuggets, Avs and Broncos are just straight underacvhievers with no depth and can't stay healthy. Oh well I guess these next few seasons will weed out the non fans!

Well thats all for now kiddies!

Until next time

Scare ya later!
