Well, so far the second quarter has presented a superior ball game, but an inferior group of commercials. In fact, I'm underwhelmed overall by this year's offerings. There's about six minutes of game time remaining for a turnaround.

• Uh, oh. It doesn't look good for the underdogs, as NE scores a touchdown and a two-point conversion, giving them a seven point lead with just under three minutes to go. I'm not writing off Carolina just yet, but...


• Another Cadillac commercial? Sheesh.


• Two minute warning, and Carolina has moved smartly into Patriot territory.


• Did Pepsi need permission from Jimmy Hendrix's estate to allude to him as a child in its commercial?


• Carolina's on the NE 15 yard line. Amazing. We could be headed for OT. Hope they've saved some good commercials!


• Speaking of Hendrix, I read on an unnamed blog last week that he is an "overrated" guitar player. Puh-lease. Sure, there are plenty of folks who can do with a guitar what he did then...but he did it first. It's far easier to copy the licks than to originate them.


• This game is TIED!

More to come...
