Super Bowl 2007: 4th Quarter

Whew. I think I've lost momentum, and I know I've lost interest. In the game, anyway. Good thing...Tony Dungy just got the bucket of ice water. And Peyton Manning finally has a Super Bowl ring.

Another viewing of the Go Daddy ad. Oh, my eyes...my eyes!

#41 - Careerbuilder.com: jungle employees #3

Ant Rating: Rating: 3 Ants

The best series of commercials in this year's line-up. Well, OK...it's the only series, but it's still pretty good, even with a boss giving a wedgie as a part of an employee review.

#40 - E-Trade: things you can do with one finger

Ant Rating: Rating: 2 Ants

Trying just a bit too hard, in a junior high schoolish manner.

***

Not another interception by Grossman. See. I told you that Chicago made history this year as the first team to make the Super Bowl without a quarterback. How many turnovers is that by Chicago? 5? 6?

#39 - HP: Orange County Choppers

Ant Rating: Rating: 2 Ants

Credit HP for trying to stay relevant, but it didn't make me want to get one.

***

TD stands. Chicago loses a timeout, and, likely, the game.

***

OK, the TD return has been challenged by Chicago.

***

Indy intercepts and returns for a TD. Where's Don Meredith?

Kyle tracked down an explanation of how they paint the stripe across the field.

***

Through 45 minutes, Colts have almost 31 minutes of ball possession. Amazing...and even more amazing that their lead is only five points.

#38 - Budweiser: crabs worshiping a cooler filled with Bud

Ant Rating: Rating: 2 Ants

Too strange to make the cut. Brings to mind the phrase, "what were they smoking?"

Comments

some of these ads tonight make me think the marketers were using some sort of "stream-of-consciousness" brainstorming, and what became a logical choice for them makes no sense to those of us who weren't in on the meetings.

I was in the wrong quarter: King of Beers == King Crab?

Posted by: kyle at February 4, 2007 08:31 PM

Yeah. There's a lot of interceptin' going on. It's getting pretty gross, man.

thanks for hosting eric... talk to you later.

Hey, I liked the King Crabs (oops, typed Craps first 8-). Well, it had potential anyway. It lacked a certain something.

Thanks for the excellent recap. Sorry I wasn't here to participate in the live, live blogging. ;-)

Gwynne, better late than never, right? ;-)

Anyway, thanks for checking in and providing your feedback. Even after the fact, it (and that of the others who also left comments) made an otherwise mediocre evening much more enjoyable.
