Sorry to say I don't remember the Pepsi one Mara. But I don't think I'll forget that Fed Ex one in a long damn time. I don't watch a lot of TV except for the Sunday nite line-up on ABC from 7 PM CST - 10, so I hope they broadcast that Fed Ex one a few more times. I lmao'd at that one and so did everyone else over at our friend Matt's house. It was good stuff.

No, not the fedex one, the Budwiser one with the card flipping thingy. I never actualy saw the Fedex one.
 
My Steelers won!

(wouldve posted last night but i was passed out!)
 
I watch it for the game when I know its gonna be a good game.....but this year I just watched for the commercials >.>
 
I actually watch for the game.

If you ask me though, the nfc and afc champsionship games are less of a show, and more about real hardcore football.

You face possible brutal weather in those games, where as in the superbowl it's in a dome or somewhere south, blah blah.

I'd love to see a superbowl in the snow or just plain old winter weather. I wouldn't mind if there was an offical home team in the superbowl either. The team with the better record would get to play the superbowl @ home for example. Completely get rid of the the BS half time shows and all that crap. I would like if it was kept simple with things such as marching bands, or keep the bands without all the fake glamor and BS.

Still expensive yet affordable ticket pricing. Except for a portion of the crowd that happens to really follow football, those aren't real fans at superbowl. It's a bunch of rich people, corroporate people, or people that are lucky and have connections and said "why not!?". If you go to an NFC of AFC champsionship game, one will find no one but true fans.

Those are just some things I feel would take take the show out of the supoerbowl and keep the focus more on the fact it's a champsionship game.

The superbowl doesn't mean as much anymore, and it's a shame.

In a nutshell, I wish it was more of a true football game, and less of a holiday-show.
 
Commercials 4tw ;o

I was never a football person, never will be.

But it's not all real fans in there. You're not going to find the big fat guy with a hotdog in one hand, and a beer in the other hand that has been hoping for a superbowl for 40 years.

Just looking at the crowd during the halftime show... A bunch of mid 20s chicks that were probably hooked up by working for some big coorporation or something similar.

You're not going to find the same crowd in the superbowl as you find in the playoffs and the 32X16 regular season games. And to me, that takes something out of the game.

Oh, thats what you meant, fuck ya it is like that. I went to the Raiders/bucs superbowl in San Diego, some little white chick behind me said "I wasn't even gonna come, but they game me tickets so I figured I might as well"

I turned around said she shoulda gave em to a real fan. Even before the game got out of hand, which didn't take long, I didn't feel like I was at a football, people didn't stand up on exciting plays, there wasn't a sense of the crowd actually cheering, it seemed hallow.

From home I don't pick that up however, they put their mics in locations to pick up fan noise.
