Super Bowl, Super Bears...or not.
A few random Super Bowl thoughts...
--Devin Hester returning the opening kickoff was as electrifying a sports moment as I remember in a long time.
--Not a bad game overall. It's a shame that Grossman couldn't make the one big play he needed to in order to win.
--My favorite ad was the Budweiser ad with the crabs worshipping the cooler. Since it played in the fourth quarter, it caught me off guard, but was start-to-finish the best commercial of the day.
--Runners-up: The Blockbuster commercial with the real mouse; Are you sure clicking this thing will get us online? The GM spot with the fired robot was clever, as was the Taco Bell lions ad in which one couldn't trill "carne" correctly. The Budweiser dalmatian one was good too, but a bit too drawn out.
--The NFL promo with all the fans reluctantly wrapping up their season was perfect, nailing the sentiments any real NFL fan experiences after another year of football.
--Worst ad: The Snickers commercial with the kissing mechanics who then proceed to rip off their own chest hair. That was repulsive on several levels.
--Here is USA Today's annual AdMeter, where the test panel actually got it right for once.
--Let's face it, the glory days of Super Bowl commericals are past. Just generating a grin or a chuckle is considered a success now.
--Next year is the Dolphins' year.

The commercials last night sucked. Period. The only one I liked was the Budweiser Rock Paper Scissors one...

I myself only really laughed out loud at the Budweiser-murderous hitchhiker one. Corny, but funny. And where are people getting off putting on already run commercials? Oh, wasn't it pitiful watching Dan Marino trying to pretend he was enjoying "hosting"? (It is kind of sad, he seems like a nice guy, and now he doesn't have Manning joining him in the "numbers no rings" category)
