Super Bowl XL

Pre-game:
Bor.Ring. And that might have been the worst National Anthem I've heard in a long, long time. Lynn Swann had the politician thumbs up working hard on that MVP walk. I'm not totally against fur, but Aretha Franklin looked like an idiot in that coat. Did she not realize it's an INDOOR stadium?

The game:
Sort of a boring game, no? Seattle's passing game was hot early on, but they never got any momentum. And pretty bad play selection towards the end. I was torn, so I didn't really get upset one way or the other -- I would have been happy to see either team win.

Halftime:
Eh. It's a wonder that Keith Richards is still alive.

Commercials:
Two of my favorites were for our clients! I loved the United commerical -- such nice animation. The FedEx caveman one was great. Since Global Marketing is the division we work with, I always pay attention to their commercials. I also loved the Disney one where the players practice saying "I'm going to Disney World." So sweet -- you know that most players totally do that kind of stuff. I also liked the long commercial for MobileESPN.

I am ashamed to admit that I liked the Sprint commercial where the guy in the locker room knocks the other one down with his cell phone. "Crime deterrant."

How funny. I just dissed the pregame show in my LJ today.

Yep, I saw that. As is typical for me, this post began last night as an email, then I read http://overdressedconfessions.blogspot.com/ and that reminded me that I should probably say something about the Super Bowl...but why reinvent the wheel, KWIM? Cut, paste, voila. That's me -- the lazy blogger. :)

I didn't watch the entire pre-game -- just the MVP walk and as much of the National Anthem as I could bear. I'll have to go back and see just how bad the Stevie Wonder part was.
