After the Bowl

As I suspected, Super Bowl Sunday was nothing to be excited over. I really wanted the Philadelphia Eagles to win, only because I can’t stand the New England Patriots. Damn the New England area for their Super Bowl AND World Series victories. So what Patriots… I don’t care that you have won three out of four Super Bowls and you’re a dynasty now. And Paul McCartney… no one cares that your wardrobe didn’t malfunction. I rather hear and see Janet Jackson over you any day. And speaking of Janet Jackson, let us get over the incident that took place last year folks. Old news, old news. We know she did it on purpose, she just didn’t realize the repercussions.
Back on subject. I was really disappointed with the halftime show and the Super Bowl ads. The opening acts before the game were ten times better than dear old Paul. I didn’t even know who that old country man was, but I found myself stomping to the music as he jammed on his violin. LOL I don’t even like country music. And later during halftime, I snoozed away as Paul McCartney sang ‘Hey Jude’ and whatever oldie he dug up (feel free to visit his site for a recap). I feel this is the first year in a while that the ads were more dull than the game itself. The FCC really put it on em last year huh? I did enjoy the Bud Light commercial with the skydiving and the FedEx commercial with Burt Reynolds. The writers of these two commercials understand the concept of entertainment AND selling the product. Take a look at the USA Today 17th Annual Ad Meter.
The highlight of my evening actually occurred AFTER the Super Bowl. An episode of The Simpsons and the new show, American Dad. The creators of American Dad are the same crew from Family Guy which is one of my all time favorite cartoons. American Dad was extremely funny… the kind of funny that literally had me rolling back and forth in my bed, cracking up nonstop like the part while in the mall, the dad was trying to teach his son how to win a woman’s heart. I was a done deal when the dad jumped out the window and in the next scene, his gigantic chin was full of glass and blood :rofl:
