So it's going to be the Steelers vs. the Seahawks*. No offense to Jim and Jeff and the other Keystone Kompadres, but...<yawn>

I'm sure I'll liveblog the commercials again, though.

*I'm taking a rather insignificant leap of faith that Carolina won't come back to beat Seattle. If they do, however, consider my reaction to the next matchup as doubled in intensity.

Seriously, does anyone actually watch the superbowl for the game anymore? The commercials are where it's at! I'll be tuned in to see them and your liveblogapolooza.

(reaching out to give Eric a virtual swat with my vitually-terrible towel)

Eric, I can understand. I'm not much of a pro football fan ... but, I AM a diehard Steelers fan. If the Steelers weren't going to the Super Bowl, I probably wouldn't be watching ...

As for the ads, I just don't get very worked up over them. And, frankly, all the hype devoted to them in the pre-game orgy of "news" leaves me with a sense of pending anti-climax ...

I've seen some great ones, like the Apple spot, more than twenty years ago ... and I've also seen some stinkers, like Coca Cola's reprise of "Teach the World to Sing" with the children of those who appeared in the first spot ...

Most have been ... alright ... nothing exceptioanlly good or bad .... and nothing to compare to Franco Harris or Rocky Bleier slashing through the Cowboys' vaunted defense, or Lynn Swann pulling down one of Bradshaw's bombs out of the air...
