Super Bowl XXXIX

Actually - that was a very good game, on both sides. Both teams had some amazing plays, and both teams made some mistakes... I enjoy when the score stays close and it gets down to the wire.

Congrats. You've got one hell of a team and they've EARNED the "Dynasty" tag.

I don't think an interception counts as "earned." I would consider that "luck." Just a guy in the right place at the right time. But at least we beat the point spread.

It was a great game to watch. It was tied going into every quarter:
2nd 0 - 0
3rd 7 -7
4th 14 -14

That's got to be a first.

It was a first- the commentators said so.

An interception no, 3 superbowls in 4 years, yes. Besides, getting in field goal range in under a minute is not easy, especially agains a great defense.

Also, all of those interceptions were spied and planned. Experienced secondaries can read a QB like a book and move to the ball. It's not 'right place at the right time' if you see the play and make the right move.

Fumbling a ball forward into the arms of a guy running across the end zone is luck.

More importantly, any votes for favorite commercial? I liked that first fed ex one with all the elements of a super bowl commerical. They all paled after that.

the one with the guy frozen in the convertable got annoying after the second or third time it was on...

Anheuser Busch: Thanking the Troops ranked very high on my list.

All the ads

The Pepsi truck ad had me in stitches.

I generally don't endorse corporations that try to convert patriotism to profit. In fact I think its a disgusting practice.

I personally think Budweiser tastes like piss and have chosen to not drink rather than drink Bud, but I still think they did a fantastic thing with that commercial.

If they really wanted to do a fantastic thing they shouldn't have slammed their logo on it afterwards. The commercial itself put millions in that "not thinking critically" mode many commercials aim to achieve then presented the corporate logo. The desired effect, to me, is obvious.
