Super Sunday is coming to a close. As was the case with most of the country and the world we watched the game with great anticipation. We were hoping for an exciting contest and some hilarious commercials. As it turned out we were in for a reversal of the usual occurrence. The game was good, but the commercials were a huge disappointment! I didn't have strong feelings about who I wanted to win, I like Peyton Manning but at the same time I also love the city of New Orleans, but I found myself rooting for the Colts. We have friends that recently moved to Indy. Did it seem to you that the game went very quickly?
The big deal was the ads. As I said before, they came up way short of the previous 10 or 20 years. Most were not funny at all, or completely stupid. A number of them started off well, but failed to deliver at the end. All in all, I must ask if the businesses that bought time at $2 million plus for a 30 second spot will be asking for their money back from the production companies that came up with that garbage. The only one that I really liked was the Doritos ad with the little kid who told his mother's date that there are two things that you don't do. You don't touch my Doritos and you don't touch my mama!
The event wasn't a total loss though. Kay and I made homemade queso dip, refried beans and guacamole. The food was excellent and way too much was consumed. I really need to learn some self-discipline. For now it is time to turn in, as tomorrow morning it is going to be time to get back out on the tennis court to work off some of the millions of calories that were ingested this evening. Good night and "Who Dat!"
