Last Super Bowl thoughts...The game was sloppy due to rain and Peyton Manning did not deserve the MVP...the co-running backs did more to win. This game is becoming all about Manning. He had a mediocre game...there are others on the Colts that deserve more ink. The Bears defense can't be faulted for having to play almost the entire game because of their inept offense.The commercials were bland. Not too many stick out the next day. My favorite...Lettermen and Oprah's promo for the Late Show...totally unexpected and totally funny. Super Bowl commercials have jumped the shark and are no longer a big deal. They try too hard. The Coke/Grand Theft Auto commercial was cool. Snicker's kissing mechanics was funny...but it didn't make me want to eat a snickers bar. The K-Fed commerical would have been funnier if they hadn't released online weeks in advance. And there's no way Jay-Z beats Don Shula in a virtual football game.
Half time show...disappointing. Prince started things okay with "Let Go Crazy." But he sang three cover songs...Rollin' on the River, All Along the Watchtower and The Best of You. Why was he covering a Foo Fighters song? Prince has enough of his own material he doesn't need to rip others off on the biggest stage on television. Now the Foo Fighters would have put on a killer show. I'm just glad he wasn't electrocuted in the rain by playing an electric guitar. Still, the show was better than the Britney Spears, InSync, Aerosmith show a few years ago and anything's better than that preening twit Justin Timberlake.
I had fun watching the game with my son Jackson for the first time. He wasn't really paying attention though...he's a Chiefs fan.
