Superbowl 42 a big bust

I was a loser either way on Sunday. First cause nobody bothered to show up which means I couldn't watch the game in piece but had to keep the kids entertained and catch snippets of the game.

The only reason I wanted to watch the game in the first place was for the commercials. What a dud on that front. Maybe the commercials are funnier if your team is in the game, at least thats the way it seemed in Superbowl 40. You have everyone watching and the commercials seemed to have such little humor or creativity. Unless the Seahawks make it next year I think I'm boycotting the game. The only commercial I really enjoyed other than movie ads was for the runaway blimp-coke commercial. What you guys think?

As far as the game goes it was going to be a bust no matter who won. After watching the game I realize how much more I detest the Mannings and Fox's coverage of the superbowl. And now I have to hear talk about them all year long. Although it was kind of funny how all the experts were wrong and how badly Brady and his offensive line choked in the big one. Maybe now the Patriots will open their wallets and pay a little bit more for the hogs up front.

Had the Patriots won then the talk of perfection would have been annoying now instead the 1972 Dolphins will continue to get all the attention and that's getting old. I guess I'm just going to turn off talk radio for awhile.

And then the game was a total yawner until the last five minutes. You could've slept through the rest and not missed much.

Either way I felt yesterday was a waste of a day except I did enjoy watching Ocean's 13.

I'm sure we won't have to wait long for phil's reply as I can't imagine after the game it took long to sober up. But I'm sure he found ways to down his kegger.

I was so lucky I had to work Super DuD Sunday, although I did get updates, on the scoring by telephone. Which I think is the only way to watch the Super Bowl. I even watched the commercials without the interruption of the football game on my space after the game. So I don't think you missed a lot.

I had the game on while I was doing all of my many activities (you know...cleaning the house and stuff). It wasn't a very exciting game and I missed most of the commercials, but the one that I saw and liked was the Life Water one with the lizards dancing the thriller dance. (I didn't really get it - but I love that song, so it made me happy)

Even the half time show was a dud. It's definitely not what it used to be...

From the sounds of it most of you had a much more pleasant Sunday than I did.

Sadly, I missed the game and the party for two reasons 1) I'm sick and I don't think that's the sharing anyone appreciates and 2) I was putting together a budget presentation for the ASISU finance committee meeting and finishing homework.

I was looking forward to finally watching a Superbowl with a crowd I could learn something from- maybe next year?

Sorry you were sick, Melinda...that's never good.

Hope you are feeling better now! :)

And, next year - it's a date!
