Bah, I'm in it for the commercials. Well, mainly cuz I'm an advertising major and I need to do an assignment after the game on the ads. But yes, this game is pretty boring.
Couldn't bring myself to watch it. Switched to ESPN classic for the Bear Bryant bio. Good stuff. Surely the Raiders will make a game of it. Surely.
Also good to know that 2/3 of the "entertainment" wasnt even American. Atleast they had the Dixie Chicks sing the Anthem isntead of some forigner beeyotch. BTW the game is over and its just the beggining of the 3rd. But the game was really over halfway thru the 2nd quarter.
A strong candidate: I noticed the Office Space reference. OTOH, Bud Lite needs to fire its ad agency. Preferably with flamethrowers.
Of all the Super Bowls I have watched, this year had the WORST commercials. None of them have been especially noteworthy. I really wish Nike would have splurged and put the MoreGo commercial on a few times tonight
Another Stupor Bowl that went to the toilet bowl of commercials. Good start with the pregame festivities (National Anthem and others). However, bad game, bad commercials and bad half time except for Shania Twain who has an awesome body.
      I noticed that too... the only memorable one so far was Reebok's "Office Linebacker" commercial.
Absolute agreement with you. Ever since the sorry "dot.com" commercials two years ago, the Super Bowl commercials have sucked. BTW TD for the "old man" Rice. Should have been a 2-point conversion.
Meanwhile, if the Raiders had just kicked extra points on all three second-half TDs, they'd be down by ten which feels a heck of a lot better than 13.
Hey, they're making the exact same point that I just did. Just like last week, Tampa deserves to be winning this game but... you wonder if those two iffy calls could have made a difference. The pass interference call on C Woodson that allowed the Bucs to run off a couple extra minutes on the clock earlier in the 4th, plus that 2-pt non-conversion that probably should have counted -- those things add up.
Agreed. It's still a two-posession game, but instead of two touchdowns, you just need a touchdown and a field goal. There are coaches who have it set up on cards -- if the margin is X points, we go for one, if it's Y, we go for two. Obviously, Oakland isn't one of those teams.
