Super Bowl 46 Chat

[Mark]

So far what do you think?

About the game?

The commercials?

Who would have thought Brady would commit such a huge mistake as the safety.

So far the M&M naked commercial was the funniest to me.

Any other comments on the big show?

[Mark]

anyone else wonder what is up with all the GE commercials?

It is like they are trying a big Public Relations campaign.

What's up with that?

[Bellicose]

M&M's one was pretty good, definitely the best so far. The Dog burying the cat one, was a little funny too.

Brady and his mistake, WOW, never would of seen that.

[Robb]

GE owns NBC so free advertising.

[Mark]

anyone do any block pools? how did you do?

[Bellicose]

Nope none for me this year. Unless my company enrolled everyone into one again and didn't tell us. Think I won a backpack or something last year.

[Mark]

What did everyone think about the Madonna performance?

Did you see the middle finger given during it?

[Mark]

making for an interesting end of the game with less than a minute left

[Mark]

the giants have won the super bowl

I don't mean to interrupt the convo you're having with yourself but I wanted to let you know that I arranged for that safety. You see, I participated in a block pool (which I generally hate but this was for a charity) and the random numbers generated for me were 5 for the Giants and 7 for the Pats.

Not liking that 5 at all, I called my Dad and asked him to order up a Giants safety early in the game. I ended up winning the 3rd quarter (giants 15 pats 17). I didn't want to be too greedy since there were 100 squares.... and it is for charity.

Oh...and I didn't watch the game, didn't see the commercials or Madonna so you can continue discussing those with yourself.

I mostly watched the last half. With kids commenting and distracting mind you. That last few minutes was pretty good. The last touch down just looked ridiculously easy!! He walked in and SAT down for God's sake!!

Actually, it was ridiculously easy - the Patriots let him score so they could get the ball back since they were down to their last time out and the Giants basically could run the clock all the way down for a last second easy FG attempt. It appears Bradshaw actually tried to stop before going in, but his momentum carried him in.

at risk for being accused of talking to myself again....

It seems that I was correct in seeing the bird fly during the half time show

M.I.A. Flips Off Viewers As Madonna Rocks Super Bowl Halftime Show


it also seems like she said shit too at the end of the performance although it wasn't entirely clear.

I get you, they were strange to say the least. It may be just CYA -PR to make up for all the bad press about GE sending so many jobs to China.

or not paying taxes, etc.... There are many things that GE are accused of and it seems that they were pushing a "we do a lot of good, we can't be all that bad" campaign. And like Robb said, being that it was on NBC they didn't have to pay a dime which might have some saying that they are still cheap and trying to cut corners and save a buck where ever they can get it.

Then again maybe not.

[Tralee]

Watched the whole thing, pretty good game, was it me or were the commercials not as good this year? I loved the Doritos ones (both of them, the dog/cat was hilarious) always love the Clydsdales, no matter what they do, the guys thought the naked M&M was funnier than the girls did and as usual the E-Trade was great, but I love all those anyhow. Madonna looked tired, it was OK, really only liked the last song. It was sort of a strange, very strange, beginning with the slaves pulling in the winged barge or whatever that was supposed to be. I didn't care who won, Hubby wanted "Anyone but the Giants". I hope you all had a good night though.

[Tralee]

Forgot, the Coke ones left me scratching my head, what were they trying to say?

[TattdMom]

Buy Coke?

[Boombastic]

The game was one of the best I have seen!

Commercials:
I'm I the only one that liked the Fiat one? or remember it?
The Dorito's were good, like the Skeetchers.
Thought Pepsi was better than Coke for sure.
Budwieser left me flat
The Audi was well produced, but didn't do anything for me.

Half Time Show:
THey must have had some production problems, but even with that thought Madonna was boring
