I guess I’ll watch it, I’ve watched them all, going back to the time when it was simply a football game and not an Event. The longer halftime will give me a chance to go downstairs and read, or take a walk The paper says kickoff is 3:39 PST, so I’ll turn it on a bit before 4:00 to see the beginning of the game… Maybe there will be some good commercials, I always look forward to the Budweiser ones with the clydesdales.
I’ve asked my students in my MARKETING classes to watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, Rick. Sorry to disappoint you, but the new owners of Budweiser have abandoned the Clydesdales in their new commercials.
As a former member of Franco’s Italian Army, I’m rooting for the Steelers–but not without reservations because of Ben R’s “issues” (husband: “He’s the Charlie Sheen of the NFL”).
I suppose if I looked like the woman above, I could play for whatever team I wanted to!
Joe Pytka, the director of many of those Bud commercials for the Super Bowl, says the new owners of Budweiser ruled against the Clydesdales. Maybe they changed their minds.
The kid in the Darth Vader outfit was my favorite, too, Jeff. The Clydesdales had a cameo in one of the Budweiser commercials, but the Bud Lite commercials focused on comedy.
The Green Bay running back, James Starks, is a local kid from Niagara Falls, Beth. Last night, the lights on the Falls were green and yellow in his honor.
That the Packers were once (still?) the property of Green Bay made me a little more favorable toward them than toward those privately-owned teams that extort things from their locales. I, too, am also a little swayed by their lesser rape-rapsheet.
Though one of my friends has no other reason for rooting for the Steelers than that one key player is a fellow Orthodox Christian. Not Rapemoreberger, happily.
But I didn’t care, and didn’t watch. Models in abbreviated teamwear don’t upset me, but it’s not the logos that might catch the eye…
And you didn’t miss much with the mediocre quality of the Super Bowl commercials, Todd. Although I liked the one with the little kid in the Darth Vader outfit that got voted the BEST SUPER BOWL commercial in AD AGE.
And what position does she play?
Special Teams, Jerry.
Nice tight end. I’m pulling for the Packers, too.
Great minds think alike, Bob.
Yowza.
So…Diane’s out, then?
Yes, Jeff, Diane is running errands so while the cat’s away…
Got no dog in this fight, so I wasn’t sure whom to root for. Now I’m vigorously pulling for the Packers.
Good choice, Drongo!

Who will I be cheering for? The defense.

Is there anyone outside of Pittsburgh rooting for the Steelers?
I suspect Big Ben’s sexual predator problems and his 4-game suspension have something to do with most people rooting for Green Bay, Patti.

You can always play on my team, Deb!
When I heard Roethlisberger was out drinking until 1 am the other night I thought, “Yeah, he’s learned a lesson, just like Charlie Sheen.”
Roethlisberger is the Bad Boy of the NFL, Jeff. Some people like that…I don’t.
George –
I saw something on the making of the Old west Budweiser commercial =for this year’s Super Bowl and the clydesdales were definitely a big pieces of it
Joe Pytka, the director of many of those Bud commercials for the Super Bowl, says the new owners of Budweiser ruled against the Clydesdales. Maybe they changed their minds.
I saw the Clydesdales in an ad, so I guess they caved to popular opinion.
I liked the Volkswagen ad with the mini-Darth Vader.
The kid in the Darth Vader outfit was my favorite, too, Jeff. The Clydesdales had a cameo in one of the Budweiser commercials, but the Bud Lite commercials focused on comedy.
Eminem shilling for Lipton iced tea and Chrysler? I always knew he was a poseur!
Right you are, Deb. Eminem has sold out. He gets no street cred for hustling Lipton iced tea!
That should be Eminem (I think).
Eminem is correct, Deb.
Oh, I forgot he was from Detroit, so perhaps the Chrysler commercial is, uh, understandable…but that iced tea schtick? Blech!
Some people will do anything for money, Deb.
Wisconsin has gone officially insane! God blessed the Green Bay Packers!

Marshall Mathers was always a clown, folks.
