As of Saturday, I didn’t even know who was in the Super Bowl.
I have a Colts hat which I wear because I like the color of it, and whenever I wear it, random people strike up conversation with me about the Colts, which I always just go along with because I’m too embarrassed to say “I don’t follow the NFL, I just wear the hat because of the color”. But today I’m letting all 17 of you know that I don’t follow the NFL and really don’t get into the Super Bowl all that much. (well obviously, I like the commercials.)
But having watched the game at a Super Bowl party, here are some thoughts:
1. The Dorito Bowl. Doritos must have had a very very good year. They had like 11 commercials in the first half.
2. Is it possible to have a television event without some form of Beyonce getting involved?
3. As innocent as it may seem, it’s dangerous that CBS allowed FocusOnTheFamily.com to play their commercial, but banned the gay dating site ManCrunch.com from televising their ad, but let GoDaddy.com televise ads that focus on girl on girl action. I’m just saying. Although, apparently a gay man (Neil Patrick Harris) pretending to like women so long as it’s promoting CBS, is totally fine.
4. Speaking of GoDaddy.com, tell me why do I care about this website? I checked out their site, expecting it to be about something pleasingly inappropriate, but the site is for registering internet domain names. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
5. My favorite commercial I think:
6. If I was a sports photographer, and by the grace of God I end up being right next to the coach of the winning superbowl team, and all of a sudden 2 guys dump 30 gallons of gatorade all over my $40,000 camera, I’d be upset.
7. The Who? Those jokes write themselves. It’s a shame that one little wardrobe malfunction and now we’re forced to have bands from 20 years ago. Apparently next year they’ve managed to sign on this new group, Simon and Garfunkel, who will hopefully sing their new hit, “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
8. I usually really like her, but I was a little Carrie Underwhelmed by her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Her last note is still in my head, and not in a good way.

I hope they play The only living boy in New York too
You’re stating the obvious here.
Those Simon and Garfunkel kids, man. The new Jonas bros.
(don’t worry about the gear, high-end sports cameras are weather sealed so that you can shoot in almost heavy rain, or salt water. Gatorade might apply. Hell, I would probably deal with a golden shower to shoot that event).
-S – eeewwwww….
I saw the last 1:19 seconds and thought the same thing when the Gatorade was being dumped.
Why only 8?? 2 more please!!!!
no question underwood stunk, almost as bad as Queen Latifah. nobody comes close to the whitney houston rendition

@ The Original Mike…. I totally agree. It gives me chills. And I especially love the fact that she showed up in sweats.
Whitney Houston’s version was a recording and wasn’t sung live. Carrie Underwood sang live…
You forgot about the Puppy Bowl!! Which I watch on Animal Planet every year!! It had lop rabbits as cheerleaders & hamsters manning the blimp! Hahahaha

Whitney’s was released on cd after the performance and became a top twenty hit
Although it was rough, at least Carrie Underwood she sang live… most performers record the anthem and lip-sync.
why would we want any event without beyonce in it? she’s the best.
I wasn’t aware that out of shape men in underwear was such a big trend in advertising. Something against tight ends?
