Super Super Bowl
What a great game. I was pulling for New Orleans so it turned out the way I had wanted. That always helps. But two great teams, two great quarterbacks, only one big mistake — by Manning. You could hardly fault anyone — it could have been anyone’s game.
Amazingly well-played . Well-coached. One of the few great Super Bowl games. Balanced in all ways: running to passing; defense and offense of both teams sterling. The onside kick, the straining two point conversion — memorable moments for the Saints.
The game was almost too exciting. Brees was so much snappier after half-time. What did they feed the guy? Great quarterback.
Every time I heard Pierre Garcon’s name I thought of Jean-Paul Jean-Paul from Seinfeld.
Commercials: Way. Too. Many.
…liked the Google ad…sleepwalker on the veldt probably the best (Coke)…even the census ad was funny. Speaking of ads, did they promote Katie Couric enough? Katie has to decide: does she want to be a “news director”, just like Brian? If so, walk the walk — at least attempt to be serious; the woman seems to want to be on Entertainment Tonight…a hint Katie: if a politician says he “enjoyed talking with you” it isn’t a bouquet warranting a beaming smile — it means you were played; what happened to “gotcha” Katie?…thought Obama did quite well in the interview though, if, as usual, unconvincing and detached…really don’t care for the talking baby and Jack In The Box ad franchises…the commercials in general were trying too hard: special effects and jokes and live action…it became a jumble with many of them — they should tell a story…like the Budweiser horse and his “buddy” — well-done.
The obvious:
America the Beautiful or God Bless America should be the national anthem. The Star Spangled Banner is such an awkward, tuneless contrivance…too many ads (may have said that)…
Supernatural and Modern Family are the two best shows on TV. Just needed to be said.
