okay, that’s the last Janet reference I make today. I promise. (I just REALLY have been itching to use that line all day.)
Not only that, but with everyone and their sister apparently rating the commercials from last night on their sites, I’m going to hold back to just a few comments on the night in general:
1) I’m itching to comment on the Muhammed Ali ad, but Pete called dibbs.
2) The 30 or so second Simpsons Mastercard commercial might very well have been funnier than the entire 11th and 12 season of The Simpsons COMBINED.
3) Monkeys = comedy
4) Thankfully for the fourth time in the last five years (I believe), the game made the commercials inconsequential. Too many blowouts in the 90’s led to the “I just watch for the ads.” theory. Yeah, and I drink beer just for the taste.
5) Justin Timberlake needs to go away, and whichever director they hired for that thing at halftime needs to go back at least a couple years and start buying CDs again.
6) Outkast REALLY needed to play the Super Bowl. By themselves.
That feels like all for now. All told, it was a really good night. I think I’m going to miss a few rent payments, just to see if Pete will let me sleep in his basement. (Shhhh! Don’t tell him that, it’ll be our secret.) Although I’ve learned again that a night of work, plus four disjointed hours of sleep, plus way too much random food, followed by a 10 hour workday will make you NOT feel good for most of said work day. This weekend can’t come fast enough!
Ah yes, as for my predictions from the other night. I had one of the goal scorers right for Columbus, and they DID win. And for a moment, I thought Carolina would flip my prediction on me. Then someone remembered that Detroit was playing, and that game had to be tightened up in a hurry. Oh well, you’ll have that. Hopefully the Canes can use the point to turn things around and find their way into the playoffs.
I think I might do some cleaning of my measly little Blogrolling list. At one point, I was all about getting links, and reading stuff that was even occasionally semi-remotely close to interesting to me. But I just don’t feel right linking to a site with so many God references. (Believe what you will, and the blog looks great, but the big JC just doesn’t do it for me like that!) Also, even while I denounce people that rate the Super Bowl ads, I’m willing to let a couple opinions slide. But anyone that axes the Pepsi diner spot from last night without recognizing the musical genius that is the diabolical Biz Markie needs to go. Not naming names, but my list is shorter by two.
