The game was FAR better than the commercials this year. This is the 2nd year in a row where the commercials completely sucked ***. Plus, although I like the Black Eyed Peas, their halftime performance sucked.

Something awesome.
Once again, I didn't see a lick of the game or the commercials. Did I really care for either in the first place? Nope. 
I thought the game was pretty good. I didn't have a dog in the fight, so all I wanted was a close game, which it was.
The commercials were fairly lackluster, with a few notable exceptions. The Doritos finger licking commercial was hilarious, and the Darth Vader one (for Hyundai?) was pretty cute.
The musical performances were terrible (the botched national anthem and the halftime show).

I turned it off at 21-3 to do some homework for Tuesday.
Personally I thought that was disgusting.
Did not see the half time show. I was so annoyed by the (stereotypical) diva-like overvocalization of every syllable she sang, that I didn't even notice she screwed up the words. I saw it posted on line later. Why can't they just sing the anthem and be dobne with it? At these things the "stars" tend to sing it like an audition for American Idol.
I watched/dozed through almost 3 quarters of the game and didn't bother watching the end.

I thought she messed up the anthem, but I couldn't place where she messed until people started talking about it.
Big Bens interceptions lost them the game.
Half time show was ok, better than some, but the technical mic problems they were having really messed the whole mood of the begining up. Black eyed peas is a real mixed bag when it comes to songs. Some sound great live others suck monkey butt. The first song (the Boom boom pow song) is definitely a studio song...sounded horrible live.
I liked the slasher guitar cameo, but I could have done without the usher enterance. But I have to admit the blackeyed peas remixed version of usher's song is way better than the original.

The Anthem was embarrasing...the halftime show was worse than the Janet Jackson fiasco, and the commercials didn't even get a smile out of me. Maybe they should just go back to it being a game!! Which would have only been better if the Steelers had drove down the field and had a few shots in the endzone to win it...but not win.
National Anthem is a no-win situation. People complain if it's recorded but people complain if it's not sang perfectly.
That being said, Aguilera rarely sings in correctly. My wife got on Youtube afterward and watched Aguilera from an old All Star Game or something... and she botched it.
Strange thing is she's sang the anthem at Penguins games since she was about ten years old. Maybe she is too confident with the song and doesn't practice.
Black Eyed Peas were not great. But at least they aren’t British senior citizens who don’t know a football from a baseball (like McCartney and the Stones from the past few years).
The game itself was OK but too many mistakes (drops and interceptions) and no lead changes.

one thing keeps getting to me is that they are calling GB the World champs...sorry the rest of the world doesn't play football they play soccer. Until they start letting international football teams in the league they are not world champs.

Find an American style football team that could beat the Super Bowl champs...unlike other sports, I'm pretty confident whoever is the NFL champ is the best in the world.
Which begs the question - does the champion of whatever the top European soccer league call themselves the world champs?

I had 7-0 Packers and 7-7 in the betting grid. Fatty money was won!
The way I figure it is that most singers (famous ones like whats her name last night) are probably pompous and shallow enough to feel like they dont have to practice or learn the god damn words to the national anthem.
The Audi commercial with the rich guys breaking out of jail was great. The movie trailers were pretty good. Other then that I agree that the commericals were not all that good.
Im not a big fan of the Black Eyed Peas but I didnt really mind the halftime show. It seemed like the audio was completely screwed up though. Half the microphones didnt work.

The rest of the world does not play soccer, the rest of the world plays football. The Americans play something they like to call football even though only two players on each team actually ever use their feet.

Except the Jets - I'm pretty sure the coach uses his feet plenty...
So if they players are not using their feet, I guess they handstand their way down the field, or maybe butt scoot...

I don't care for McCartney anyway. The Who and The Stones still rock pretty darn well and they are music legends. I think 1/2 time at a football game (even the superbowl) is a step down for them. You can't have a "concert" in the time alloted so it's pretty much a waste of time. The whole "extravaganza" experience that is the Superbowl is getting out of hand IMHO.
Oh for God's sake, don't start with that old whine. Everytime the World Series is played you hear the same freaking thing.
