Super Bowl Notes 5
The Onion’s prediction was wrong.
The Sprint “crime deterrent” ad is the best so far. GoDaddy is number two.
(See the ads here.)
I hope I’m as spry as Mick Jagger when I’m his age. Damn, I must not have had enough sex, drugs, and rock and roll when I was younger.
All the ad agencies in the world can’t make Pepsi taste better than Coke.
The true Mission Impossible: “Earth to Tom Cruise. Earth to Tom Cruise . . .”
Anheuser-Busch has lost its touch (except for any ad involving the Clydesdales). It’s time to bring back the Bud Bowl. Or the frogs, or something.
Ameriquest is under investigation. Their ad agency should be, too.
The Hummer ad had it right. They are monsters. Reminds me of this great old movie.
A razor with five blades? This is getting really silly. One blade was enough for my Granddaddy.
Watching the game reminds me of one of the things that disguishes the Baseball Yankees. The pinstripe jerseys show only numbers, not names.
No football game can live up to the Super Bowl hype, unless the 1958 Giants-Colts game could come again. I have grainy black-and-white snapshot memories of that game from my father’s watching it. Including Alam Ameche’s game-winning touchdown.
This has been a damn good game. Even though no game could live up to the hype.
If Unitas had been quarterbacking Seattle, down 11 with a minute to go, Seattle would have had realistic expectations of actually pulling this one out. Johnny U. could do things like that.

I liked the Clydesdale American Dream commercial the best. Then the streaker, that one was funny. I missed the ones in the first quarter, as we, Chris & I, “compromised” on what “we” were watching! (He wanted to finish the FBI files episode that he was watching.) I did save the page with the ads to my favorites, so that I can check them out.

You’re right, that was an excellant game. I don’t remember Johnny U, didn’t watch football as a kid.

So much for stereotypes about who watches what!
I missed the streaker ad. I’ll have to check that out tonight.

It does blow the mind, doesn’t it? Chris hates football season. It’s a good thing we have enough tv’s in the house that if push comes to shove, I can go to another room, if I feel like it. He also knows that next weekend is the last game that he has to watch, til next fall.
