Super Bowl - Steelers vs. Packers

[BigDCardlvr]

Prior to thegame, Espn radio here in Dallas was estimating 6,000+ were impacted by the seating issue. Turns out only 1250 were impacted , and only 400 didn't get in. I would have been so ticked off...

Has the Super Bowl jumped the shark? The halftime show was offensively bad. The commercials were lame. The game itself was meh. At least the rapist didn't win I guess.

Really? did you actually watch the game or were you more interested in the halftime show and commercials? 56 points scored and was still undecided in the last minute and you weren't entertained?

I was sort of thinking the same thing. I agree with the rest, but the game itself was pretty good. Maybe I only feel that way because I remember far too many NFC blowouts in these games when I was growing up.

This last decade or so, we've been treated to some great games.

Oh... and the Onion is awesome.

The game was close, true, but somehow it was one of the least intense close games I can remember. I'm sure I'd feel differently if I were a Packer or Steelers fan, but there weren't many memorable plays, drives, hits, moments, whatever to really get me into the game. It was just kind of steady and balanced, but nothing dramatic. IMO.

You're insane, or you weren't really watching the game.

And I think you guys are a little crazy with the Aguilera hate as well. *shrug.*

I wish i had 90 bucks to spare for the SB champion bundle.

That's true. There were plenty of good moments throughout the game, but nothing remarkable towards the end. The closest you can get was the 3rd and 10 conversion that gave the Pack that last field goal.

[BigDCardlvr]

If points is the measuring stick, then the pro bowl was better. It was a good game in that it was a game until the end. But nothing about it was exceptional. This is not one we'll talk about much beyond tomorrow. No drive, no tackle, no finally won the big one, no play. At least it was in doubt in the final minutes.

I was watching the game in adverse conditions, i.e. with my dad who can't stop himself complaining about how football isn't a real sport anymore and there's too much "standing around" and yada yada yada. Trying to tune that out probably affected my enjoyment of the game.

[JL21]

Haha, that sucks.

So which ads did people like? I thought the Vader ad was a slam dunk, and I liked the first Dorito ad where the guy was torturing the dog with Doritos. Beyond that, I thought they all blew. AB-InBev needs a new agency.

The Groupon ad that went something like "Tibet is a beautiful, proud, important culture that is tragically being wiped out . . . but they do know how to make a great curry! And now you can save 20% at Tibet Grill in Chicago!" confirmed every suspicion I've ever had that Groupon is for douchebags.

the pepsi max commercial with the jogger chick getting pegged in the face was pretty hilarious. Also the pepsi max date one.

edit: the Vader one was great, even though it was released beforehand and i had already seen it.

The Eminem commercial for Chrysler (?) was probably the best non-funny commercial
