SUPERBOWL BLAHS

In the third quarter of the "Big Game", I'm realizing how underwhelming it all is... like most years following all the hype and insipid "media day" questions. Oh sure, every year we do the same thing: knowing what we know about the Superbowl, we still expect a different result. Can't even have the enjoyment of watching Eli Manning have a really painful game so far. Talk about having issues find a side to root for in this.... Eli the doofy fratboy who didn't want to play in San Diego vs. Mr. God's gift-to-models and a the New England Cheaters. Hmmm. And the commercials aren't all that spectacular, though the E-Trade baby-trader bit was different. Wonder how much money was spent on the Naomi Campbell-with-dancing-lizards ad? Most people at our house assumed it was a Geico spot, then promptly forgot which turbo-drink was the real sponsor. Nice investment. And for halftime, rather than Tom Petty, they should have had the Presidential candidates debate, with pyro-technics and dancers. And trapdoors. Oh well.
