The Obligatory Super Bowl Post
The Half-Time Show. No Nipple shots. No raunchy Dancing. No sex themed Half-Time show. Super Bowl XXXIX Half-Time show was about as tame as seeing the poor man's Dido perform. Sir Paul McCartney was good but a snore at best. Audience members were given placards to hold up at the pivotal "Na Na Na" part in 'Hey Jude.' Again snore. Don't get us wrong, we like Paul. In fact if it weren't for The Beatles this site wouldn't exist. We had hoped another musician would have graced the stage with McCartney but no such luck. A very G rated Half-Time show indeed. The Federal Communications Commission had no complaints of course. Unless "You've got to give the other fella hell" in the song 'Live and Let Die' caused an nuisance or distress.
The Commercials. Almost every commercial featured some type of animal (talking or not). The best commercial of the night goes to Ameriquest. Ameriquest Mortgage spent closer to $15 million to become an NFL season sponsor and to sponsor halftime. Ouch. The Ameriquest best commercial was about a romantic dinner that goes awry after a cat knocks over spaghetti sauce. The "girlfriend" walks in to see her "boyfriend" holding their cat who just spilled over spaghetti sauce and wielding a big knife. CareerBuilder.com had some great commercials as well. Monkeys = funny.
The Game. We blame Donovan "my bad" McNabb for throwing a pass directly to Tedy Bruschi causing the New England Patriots to capture their 3rd title in four years.
