Every year I watch the Super Bowl at a local hangout. Even if there’s no excitement on field, the party or ads make it worthwhile.
This year, the game took center stage. One expects some caution in the big game, but this was a no -holds barred war.
The second half was the best football action I’ve ever seen. Both quarterbacks, Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger, plus Fitzgerald and Holmes threw, ran and received flat out like there was no tomorrow.
A linebacker doing an interception and 100-yard return for a goal? Check.
A tiptoe catch in the 35 seconds to go ahead? Check.
Cliff-hangar to the last play? Check.
Bruce Springsteen and his band performed at half time.
The ads were pretty juvenile overall, though the cash4gold.com ad with MC Hammer and Ed McMahon was strange enough to catch attention. GoDaddy was even less PC than usual, featuring Danica Patrick and a cast of shapely women.
