I didn't think the commercials were that great this year.  Am I alone in this??


No, I didn't think any of them were all that clever or entertaining. The Google ad was sort of cute. The game was definitely better than the commercials this year, and I'll add that if the Colts had been playing any team other than the Saints or the NY Giants I would have been cheering them on. Peyton Manning is great! But this just had to be the Saints' year for the reasons I mentioned in my earlier post!

I wasn't too impressed with the commercials this year either.  Usually the commercials are better than the game, but at least the game was good this year.

And I was glad to see The Who got a day pass from the old folks home to appear.   :D

Hi All,

Glad that the Saints won and the only commerical that I liked was the one with Bette White playing football.

Just my opinion, but I thought the Who sounded terrible.  Maybe it had something to do with the size of the stadium ?

I usually don't like the etrade commercials, but I thought the one with the girlfriend and the "other girl" was cute.

I also liked the Budweiser commercial with the Clydesdale and the steer.  Very sweet!

we were sitting around sunday late afternoon waiting for our power to come on (we were supposed to have some people over). i missed the superbowl last year (was in a drug induced stupor a few days post op) and i didn't want to miss it this year. we braved the icy roads and went to a friend's. i like the colts, but wanted the saints for the reasons catherine stated. i didn't think the commercials were that great either.

i've always been a cowboy fan and next year the superbowl is in jerry's place. it would be a great for the cowboys to get to / win that one. and y'all aren't old - my favorite QB is staubach back in the landry days of the cowboys (when we HATED joe montana!!!) remember (or forget) the catch? that play got me crying (as in balling uncontrollably) at a playoff party in a room full of people i barely knew! any of you old enough to remember that?!

  No!  The commercials were not that great this year.      The Who should be retired.   And Jan and I should get a reprieve on our age if Keri's  QB  is Staubach

Ok, you can talk about the game and you can talk about the commercials plenty, sure.  But how about the half-time train wreck?  I LUV that band but they should just STOPPP!!!  Loved those acrylic drums with the Who target logo on the cymbals.  That was pretty cool.  The harmonies were way off Pete's got serious hearing loss and Roger must too.  They were out of sync all the way. :D

And can Roger really still have that much hair at his age?

WHO??  :D

I'm not a fan - confirmed Parrothead, here - but I was hopeful the Who didn't used to sound that bad; for those of you who are fans.

Glad to know this wasn't their "normal" skill set  ::)
