What a disappointment. In years past the Super Bowl was the time for companies to release their best commercials. What happened? Fox TV got a record amount for advertising spots this year and we got probably the worst year ever for innovative or humerous commercials. I wonder if the FCC crackdown on what can be shown on TV or the radio was the reason? Regardless the Super Bowl is no longer the must see event of the year. Oh, and they did play a football game too. Of course I did not like either team which made it hard to care about the outcome. I really hate New England which forced me to root for Philadelphia. I think the game proved that Donovan McNabb is not a big game player. I cannot remember ever seeing so many poorly thrown balls by a quarterback in a Super Bowl before. It was ugly to watch. Don't even start me on his horrible clock management at the end of the game.

You know... I'm 54 years old, and I have never watched the superbowl. In fact, I can't remember ever even watching a football game from start to finish.
Many years ago when I lived back east in Maine, the company I worked for got some tickets to a football game in Boston to see the Patriots play some other team. (I don't remember, but I think it was Miami?)
I had absolutely no interest in the game, but I was kept nicely entertained watching people fight, kick, yell and swear at each other. I saw all kinds of sights that blustery autumn day in ole Framingham. What's more, one of our friends from the Boston area had their car stolen! Another group we were with had their car vandalized. 3 other people in our group got beer dumped on them from an upper level.
Everyone seemed to have a nice time, although most of the reasons why were lost to me... I think that experience was instrumental in my decision to avoid sports arenas at all costs unless there was a damned good reason to go! (e.g. perhaps the odd Tull concert) lol
