Pats, Giants, 17-14. What a crap fest! You know a football game is going to suck when one team has the ball for almost 10 minutes and scores only 3 points. Item two of suckage: The scoring happens in the first quarter (okay, 3 seconds into the second quarter) and the fourth quarter. It looked more like a game played during pre-season.
The commercials… maybe two or three were good, but the rest pretty much were a pain to watch. I liked the Bridgestone tire commercial with Alice Cooper and Richard Simmons (swerving at the last possible moment to miss Richard out of a guilty conscience), the Coke Macy Christmas parade balloons, and the FedEx pigeons ( for originality). An no, I don’t consider the kick-arse Iron Man trailer a commercial in the same sense.
Now Tom Petty was pretty good in a mini-concert way. I mean, how can you mess up with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers? Maybe it should have been the other way around – Tom Petty in concert with a 15 minute Super Bowl game.
Did anyone else seem to have problems with the viewing screen during the broadcast? I noticed that the announcers were too "red" in the face and the graphics in the commercials were cut-off on the left side. I have a HD/digital TV in the room we were viewing the game and switching from widescreen, to movie, to sidebar, and to full screen did not help with the cut-off graphics. I checked the TV with the other channels and none of them had the color or cut-off problems.
