The game was fun, the rest pretty much sucked @zz!
SuperBowl XL had some exciting moments. The 75yd breakaway run for the longest run in SuperBowl history; the Steelers' trick play for the first TD pass by a wide receiver; some controversial play calling and officiating... all in all it was a decent game from a football standpoint. What sucked was the rest.
The commercials were not even good enough to qualify as subpar. Hell, half of them weren't even debut commercials. If you are going to spend that kind of money on a spot during the SuperBowl, you could at least put out a new commercial. The only funny moment was when the hot chick got tackled playing touch football in some beer commercial - and then they PC'ed the whole thing by making her tackle the guy in the end. Poop on a stick would have been more interesting to watch.
Speaking of poop on a stick... well, petrified poop maybe. The halftime show was a big yawnfest too. If I wanted to hear classic rock and roll songs butchered, I would have my neighbor sing them. The sound was horrible and the show was one big waste of time. Don't get me wrong - in comparison to other shows, like Janet Jackson's deflated and floppy moment, it was mildly entertaining. I am just against these halftime extravaganzas in general. They add nothing to the event other than maybe help to justify the ticket price.
Its time for the NFL to have a little dignity and put the focus back on the game itself.

Well, gotta admit I didn't watch, actually even kinda forgot it was on, cuz I was busy round the house and had some movie on - don't even remember what it was *LOL* I watched the "Past Superbowl Commericals" that was on before and enjoyed it. Some Stupid commercials this year - Diet Pepsi was a BIG WASTE. And the pizza one with Simpson was Stupid. Love the Bud ones...
