I thought it was a great football game. It was close, score went back and forth, up til the second half of the fourth quarter, it could have gone either way. Commercials were definitely not a big deal this year. Some of the companies who put the most into commercials in the past didn't have the cash or opted to do other things with that money (like Pepsi Refresh) this year. Personally, I've always found it a little ridiculous that they spent as much as they did on commercials for the Super Bowl.

THANK YOU. My poor cousin (who's a Saints fan and had his bday party today) was soo disappointed about how boring the game was. lol.


Commercials=NOT funny.

And tell me why I didn't remember that the CSI theme songs (at least for LV and NY) are from the Who? lol. Durrrrr.

I think a 65 year old man sounds sort of silly singing "take a bow for the new revolution." But whatever. Who was that on drums?

This was a great game IMO. However, those etrade ads with the babies were the creepiest things ever and if I never see them again it will be too soon. Doritos weren't too far behind in the "yuk" sweepstakes.

I also want to know why Budweiser has such good commercials and such crappy beer.

I loved The Who. I acted like a fool during their finale.

My guy hated it and scoffed at their voices (they are much older--duhhhhh). I ignored his disgust and continued to act like a fool.

I thought they sounded pretty good for being as old as they are. It was kind of strange to hear them singing about "Teenage Wasteland"

My teenage son said that maybe they were singing about their grandkids

I never ever thought I would prefer Bruce Springstien over the Who. I prompty removed all Who songs from my iPod after the halftime show because the illusion was ruined for me.

It really wasn't the Who that performed at halftime...it was more like "who's left." Concur that it was bit odd to have them singing about Teenage Wasteland. It came across as grandfathers griping about the younger folks, and it was just...odd.

Didn't see the show, but I'm pretty sure their concert drummer is Zak Starkley, who was actually taught how to play drums by Moon.

I also want to know why Budweiser has such good commercials and such crappy beer.

This is the first Superbowl game i've watched in its entirety. I took the time to actually understand how the game works (the basic rules, not all the strategy jumbo, just enough to know when to appropriately cheer and boo) and it was all good. I too thought the game was short, though i credited it to me paying the game attention.

None of the commercials stuck out to me as awesomeness. the funniest to me was the stupid auto-tune with T-Pain for Bud Light. there was a silly one with a beaver, and an even sillier one for Denny's (like, who really cares about some Grand Slam?).

I too cant stand the Etrade babies. just weird.
